Wow I didn’t know he was that bad.

 

I have a theory about Rhule. He didn’t really turn Baylor around like people think. Baylor was going to be a decent team anyhow and just had a bad season because of the disciplinary actions of the scandal and players leaving. Baylor was a good enough and popular enough school that it would have naturally improved itself over time. They actually would have an easy time recruiting players because they could offer them playing time for a big 12 school, something they might not have been able to get elsewhere.

Put it this way, if I was a fan of program in complete shambles just looking to get back to being able to actually compete on the football field I'd be happy about a Rhule hire. He's shown he can do that. I'm looking at you, Nebraska.

If I'm a fan of a good program that being competitive but just not winning to the level we want and trying to take the step from competitive to contender I would not be happy about a Rhule hire. That's what he has not shown that he can do. I'm looking at places like Auburn in this category.

I still do not understand how his name was hot at the time of his hire. His resume was not very good yet he was being pumped up and posters here called that out at the time. It was complete BS. Fug the hot name. Give me a competent name.

I can stand a miss but this one was too damn obvious. 'But he made mid teir programs competitive but not good'...in schooll. Who gives AF? Like seriously how good is his agent to make chicken poop into meatballs and Hurney & Tepper ate that all up. He was never a good candidate for HC in the NFL or even school.

I don't even think Rhule was in the majority of the Huddle's top 5 at the time. For me personally,  his name came out of left field. My list was 1. Greg Roman 2. Matt Eberflus 3. Eric Bieniemy 4. Robert Saleh and 5. Mike McCarthy

Once I heard Rhule's name getting thrown out there, I went and did some research. Once I saw he couldn't even beat ranked teams I wanted nothing to do with him. College coaches already have a TERRIBLE success rate, and you're going to get one who can't even beat ranked teams? Not to mention he was already blowing leads in college, blowing a 28-3 lead against Oklahoma.

I wanted different coaches but I felt the same about Rhule. Total WTF? type move for me. Looked him up and feared this kind of mess. He wasn't even a good coach at that level and the one hope was that Snow would be solid.

I still don't understand the hype. It should have been hot like radioactive and not desirable.

Media hype...cool story...dumb people in charge of the Panthers...

Put it all together and call it "The Perfect Sh-tstorm" 😕

Pretty much.  How hard is it to turn around a Big 12 program to above average? It basically took 3 recruiting cycles.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By strato · Posted

      He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was.  I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless.  He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character.  Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story.    Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By frankw · Posted

      I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.

      A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.
