Rhule is much better suited to coach at the college level. His personality, coaching techniques and "king of everything" persona work much better at that level.

Some guys are just better suited to work with college age kids than professionals.

After two years in the NFL, that would be my conclusion, too.  I'm not sure his persona works at a place like Alabama, OSU, or any of the juggernaut-type programs, either.

His big problem here was 2021.  He managed to get 5 wins out of a team everybody thought was a few pieces and a bunch of scrubs in 2020.  Even in losses, they were at least competitive most of the time.  Last year, not much.  Too often they looked horribly overmatched and lost.  On paper, the team was a little better but the outcome was worse.  To me, that is coaching.

There is no disgrace in being a college coach.  There is no disgrace in being a college coach trying his hand in the NFL and failing.  We've run down that list many times and it is a rather impressive list of college coaches.

Maybe he'll prove me wrong, and I hope he does.  But after the cratering last year, I don't have much hope.  He just looked like he had no clue at all.

Hell, Nick Saban was technically a failed NFL coach and look at him now. So was Pete Carroll at one point.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
