Is Rhule the worst coach in the NFL right now

I agree. After all, he was out coached by Stefanski 🤣

Man, I'm telling you...  Stefanski making him call that timeout on the faux-4th down attempt to allow them to kick a FG after burning our timeout...  My God.  Once Rhule saw what the actual endgame was there, he should've walked straight up to the suites, apologized for wasting everyone's time, and put in his resignation effective immediately.

Whomever does it first is at the head of the line for Sean Payton.

No HC has won a second SB with another team is the stat I belive. They can have him and would obviously not have learned from the McCarthy hire. I want an NFL O cordinator as the next HC.

What do you think Payton was before he was a HC?  Payton called the plays for NO as well.

Rhule has to rate right up there with the worst ever.  Not just now.  I agree that Mcarthy and Kingsbury are awful too but they both did go to the playoffs last year.  I truly hate Rhule and for that matter P. Snow.  

And that's the thing...  I dont see how anyone could objectively argue he isn't the worst.  McCarthy is on the hottest seat because it's Dallas.  I don't think he's a great coach, but he's an average one and experienced.  If he was any other smaller market, he probably lasts 5+ years easy, hovering slightly above .500.

And people keep bringing up Kingsbury, but I think that is an even more damning comparison for Rhule.  Sure, the Cards tend to flame out late, they don't always seem focused, but his teams win...  and he came into the position with even less coaching experience than Rhule, college and pro...  and yet, he quickly turned them into a competitive team with a shot at the playoffs every year.  He might not be living up to heightened expectations, but again, for a guy who had even less experience than Rhule as a COLLEGE coach, not even pros, he came in and made them win more often than they lose.  And that led me to a moment of clarity this morning - Kingsbury has success because he played college football at a high level and specializes in something tangible that he's able to coach into his team.  Rhule is struggling because he doesn't have that.  At all.  What made him successful in college was his ability to talk and be a salesman, so he could recruit, get guys in the program, and then was pretty much hands off from there.  College, more than any other level of the sport is about, as my coach used to say, "the Jimmys and the Joes, not the Xs and the Os."  It is becoming very evident, Rhule doesn't know how to manage even the most basic duties on gameday, and he damn sure doesn't know how to implement and run a gameplan during the week.  Nor has he demonstrated any ability to actually coach guys up from a technical standpoint. 

And that's the difference.  He literally can't coach.  At all.  And he keeps flailing around trying to talk his way into success, like he did in college, and it just won't work.

He was a great coach, he certainly slipped the last few years but he was a very suscseful HC. The fact is the odds of him wining a SB with another team is higly agaisnt him. That was my main point. I would expect some of the same stuff they had from McCarthy tho I 100% think Payton is a better coach by far.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
