Several seasons of having a good team that is in the mix for the playoffs.

This brings up a point...

My opinion of these two guys wasn't formed overnight. It's not going to be changed overnight either.

I know a lot of folks have said "winning" and some have clarified "consistent winning". That's key. It has to be more than just this season.

If a consistent winner isn't built, nothing changes.

A year ago I was behind Rhule.  I was not a fan of the Darnold deal or the way Teddy's exile unfolded, but I don't need to agree with everything they do.  The proof is in the results.

I was not "over the moon" when we started out 3-0 because I realized this was not a 12-5 team.  I was hoping we would be in the chase for 8 or 9 wins.  I hoped for competitiveness, win or lose, because we saw more of that in 2020 than we expected.

Then the bottom fell out.  Losing is one thing, but looking lost about what is happening and clueless about what to do about it lost me.  His response was wide-eyed chanting that the process was working despite all evidence to the contrary, and "ommmm, trust the process, ommmm."

The world is full of BS artists, and right now, he is on my list for that.  He can get off that list, but more chanting and doing the same things expecting different results is not the path to do that.  He doesn't need to win 12 games this year, but he needs to prove he knows how to win games in the NFL.

If I had to wager on whether Matt Rhule was going to change the way other teams look at college coaches or he was going to confirm why you shouldn't hire them, I'm gonna bet on option two.

Yes and no.  Part of the problem is there have been some epic bad coaching hires.  When you hire Urban Meyer or Greg Schiano, the odds are almost certain that they are going to lower the average NFL coaching tenure. 

I'm not a fan of creating a coaching carousel every 2 years (or less), but some of these guys would have caused me to pull the trigger very quickly had I been dense enough to hire them in the first place.  For example, if I had been the owner of the Denver Broncos at the time, Josh McDaniels might have been moved out of his office by security before he ever coached his first game.

A lot of extremely short-tenures have been completely predictable (as in the phrase "what did we think was going to happen?" applies) and self-inflicted.

Rhule is on a completely different level as some of those guys.  He may be clueless, but nobody is questioning whether his membership card in the human race is a forgery.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
