For god's sake if the hot dog vendor gave someone a undercooked dog, they'd be blaming that on Rhule too. 

i see people post poo like this often. last week it was "if he cured cancer people would still hate him."

what i want to know is where is the ridiculously unfair criticism that supposed level headed fans see so much of? 

people dislike him as a coach because he doesn't know how to win on the pro level and barely had it figured out on the college level and even then never saw any sustained success. 

so again....these unfair criticisms, if people are actually doing it enough that you and others feel the need to call it out, please share..... i'll be waiting.

Rome wasn't built in a day... the team was trash when he took over, takes a few years to rebuild. 

All of our other HCs won more than 5 games in their first two seasons, two of them went deep in the playoffs in just their second year.  The biggest difference?  None of them were college coaches.  So no it doesn't take an several years to rebuild a team.  It can be done with the right individuals in a short amount of time.

I said in another thread, there is no excuse for this team not being able to beat either the Brown or the Giants. If we were 1-and-1 I'd be willing to overlook a lot. But to be 0-2 in the part of the season where we needed to drum up our wins shows a profound lack of urgency. At this point, I care as much about Rhule's tenure as he seems to care about Winning. 

I'm literally never this guy. Ever. I ordinarily would never consider saying this in week 2. But this is where I'm at:

Fire Rhule. Let's put in an interim HC for the remaining 15 games. Maybe we'll be a lot worse, but there's a remote chance we'll be better and that's more than I can say about the team with Rhule at the helm. 

People are like, Rhule should go down with the ship, and I honestly don't feel like he deserves the honor (or dubious distinction) of being an NFL head coach.

Worked for the Dolphins and Dan Campbell in 2015 🤷🏻‍♂️

If I were the owner, I would keep Matt Rhule around for the remainder of this year just to understand what (and not who) is causing the failures. If I were going to hire the next coach, then I would like to identify the traits or habits of those that are similar and could lead to the same result that caused the current regime to not succeed.

no it doesn't. we've seen several teams recently that go from top 5 pick to top 5 teams within a couple years. a coach that knows what he's doing doesn't need more than a couple seasons. 

if it takes more than 3, you've got the wrong coach.

Not defending him by any means but I guess one positive is at least we've been close in these two games. I'm sure the blowouts will start coming soon but for now at least we aren't looking completely outclassed. 10-25 is pretty damn indefensible tbh.

Close losses with spurts of looking good would have probably worked in year one (maybe it did). In year three, expectations are going to be higher.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
