my take - all these bad articles are coming out at the same time - likely encouraged by Tepper's PR arm  - to give him cause for firing Rhule without looking stupid

 

"Well I didn't know it was THIS bad" says a shocked David Tepper.

would not surprise me one bit

From the article...

“No, I’ve never noticed anything,” Rhule said when asked if there was a disconnect between he and the locker room. “I’ve never had anyone say anything to me. It’s hard for me to comment on anonymous sources like that. I think we have a good locker room full of guys working hard from all different places. So I’ve never seen anything.”

Oh, the dysfunction is 1000% there, Matt. You just don't see it 😎

It's one of two things.  Either Rhule is a liar or he's completely clueless.  Both options are pretty damning.

He doesn’t want to see it. He’s used to kids, not grown adults. I would assume most of the players don’t even care to raise an issue because they know Rhule will just throw a temper tantrum and they are still getting paid win or lose… so.

You’re probably right about that. It softens the blow of embarrassment when Tepper fires him.

They can’t possibly keep Rhule another season with the amount of fan vitriol towards the team’s performance. Fans are dumping their PSLs at the highest rate in team history.

I don’t even think it matters what the team does in the off-season if Rhule is the coach next season - it’s time to move on and get an NFL caliber coaching staff to clean up this mess.

Tepper needs to be totally humiliated. 

That’s the thing.  Apparently he’s already embarrassed, but it’s surprising that our floundering, pathetic team isn’t enough for him to pull the trigger.  What more humiliation does he need?  We suck ass.  Rhule stole his brass balls and is playing with house money

Man I don't know. It's a really good question.

    • Ask me in five years whether this draft class was good or not. Having said that, I'll grade the 2019 draft... R1 P16: Brian Burns - I'll argue this was a good pick. At the minimum, he was worth enough to have gotten a seriously good offer of picks which, in retrospect, we should've taken. But we still got something for him and his new team gave him a ton of money. R2 P37: Greg Little - Utter and complete flop. Only real value was somehow getting a 7th rounder from the Dolphins. R3 R100: Will Grier  - Played godawful the rare times he was on the field. Somehow still in the league. R4 P115: Christian Miller - Nothing of note. R5 P154: Jordan Scarlett - I don't think he even lasted two years. R6 P212: Dennis Daley - Some flashes of promise but we eventually traded him for some picks. Was terrible in Tennessee. I'll consider this a success since we got picks back. R7 P237: Terry Godwin - Did not last here long at all.  In summary, we got one quality starter... who is now gone. Daley might've been the second best player of this class and he was a middling backup at best. Burns saved this class from being a complete disaster.  D+
    • You can add that to the assessment of the whole offseason, but not the draft itself
    • If you're going to bring up the Burns trade you have to include the players we were able to sign with the money we saved by trading Burns.  We got three positions of need with the money we saved by trading him.
