Rapoport: Tepper to be patient with Rhule

[top dawg]

Too little patience can be bad. Too much patience can also be bad.

Yeah and "too much patience" is an extremely rare thing in the NFL. For rather obvious reasons, IMO.

I've said since last year that Tepper gives Rhule 4 years and I still believe that. Tepper wants to be right about Rhule to prove he's smarter than the other owners and that he didn't make a bad investment, so he'll keep giving him time.

Well that just further reinforces my decision to not put forth any additional effort to watch this team.  If they come on a national broadcast Ill watch.  Otherwise Ill catch them as I can on RedZone.

lol I've watched Redzone only for the entire Rhule era..... I always tell people "if they do something, I'll see it"....

Probably will give Rhule till we are eliminated from the playoffs. 
Today will be telling to see how this team responds.

Really turning the fans off

We are the 2020 Jets.

Tepper is riding Rhule out like they did Gase to tank for a top pick.

It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Not sure I can buy that as much as I buy that he is buying the BS Rhule is spewing because Tepper really doesn't know very much about football.

I don't think that is a small thing to overlook, that he really has extremely limited football knowledge but still meddles in the football operation side of things.

His not knowing football doesn't bother me.

Him thinking he knows football does.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Trying to take myself away from a fan perspective.  I can see (not agree, just see the personal justification) how Tepper would give Rhule a 3rd year.  If he had fired Rhule after two it could look like Tepper is a hot head and doesn't give his guys a chance, potentially negatively impacting the ability to lure top tier coaching talent.

That said, we are a couple games in, and anyone can see that this team is in disarray with no signs of the staff being able to overcome the issues that have haunted them since the regime took over. Ten wins and stats say if you score 17 points Carolina lays down.   Better line talent, better QB talent, seasoned NFL staff members and the product on the field is basically the same.  If (actually when) we continue to struggle, I don't think Tepper should have any misgivings about moving forward with a change.  If Tepper is going to be "patient" with Rhule, I think that is likely to be measured based on games rather than seasons.

I think someone should create another fire Rhule thread. Maybe one more could change Tepper’s mind?

[BIGH2001]

He’s already been patient. This is not patience, it’s something else.

Bronc fans are already bitching about Hackett.... he hired all his unqualified friends...he ran an offence headed by rogers...what can go wrong now... wilson doesn't look like hes worth the money....hell... they even hired a clock manager this week to help him..lol...
