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.

      89 on The Pivot

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
