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. 

It's the club. First rule, you don't talk about the club.

I think that's oversimplifying it. He was considered someone who could take young moldable athletes and help them overachieve. As a young rebuilding team, it made sense on paper. He didn't even have to be the coach to take us to the Super Bowl, just someone to get us on the right path and build the nucleus of the future. The thing that is so disappointing is how awful he has been at coaching up players. Seems like a lot of the young guys either regressed or at least never made any meaningful strides. I understand that not everyone is going to make it even with excellent coaching but his hit rate has been dreadful.

How did this man sell us?

Do we even trust Tepper with the new hire?

 

Do you remember the big rape scandal at Baylor that almost took down the whole program? That's when they hired Rhule who took them to a Sugar Bowl two years later. He also resurrected  a dead Temple program before that. Look, i think the guy is a failure as an NFL coach too, but let's not try to rewrite history. He had a good college resume.  Remember Urban Meyer? That guy won multiple championships in college before the Jags gig.

When ppl are upset and let their emotions run wild. They are liable to say anything to make their little hearts feel better. Venting usually doesn't involve facts.

 

There were plenty of ppl that thought we made a good hire.

It is that simple. I don't know how any of his school coaching was considered overachieving unless you take the media's hype or Hurney's gut as good sources. Baylor was a weak school that beat nobodies, lost to any one good and had a bunch of players drafted that busted. Reddick was the only one that was a win that I can think of and Arizona did everything it could to not use him correctly. RA? Meh, ok player at best. As a non-GAF about what happens with school ball guy it really was never impressive to me on any level. 

It was all hype and no truth. Plenty of posters called it on here. It really is that simple. It happens in the NFL with players every draft and it happens with coaches also. Hell our coaching improvements this year include 2 that were overhyped as coaches, Wilks and McAdoo, that are now trying to salvage their careers from being overpromoted from BS hype and bad choices.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
