Is Tepper trying to humiliate Rhule?

Tepper gave him a third season for better or what has turned out to be worse. He probably figured he’d let him try to dig himself out of the mess he made. The hole is getting deeper and we’re all here to witness what it looks like to enter the NFL hell that the likes of fans of the Jets, Browns, Lions, etc, experience every year.

No Tepper just wants to say he gave Rhule a fair shot. It’s hard to sit at the other side of the table to defend your job when you had 3 years to do it. It also makes other HC candidates feel more comfortable, so they know you aren’t going to yank them out of their office after their first bad game.

Lol this is probably the most likely explanation.

Hardly, he’s applying the Steelers’ Coach philosophy, “never fire”.

Unfortunately for us, Tepper is retaining Rhule and not Knoll,Cower, or Tomlin.

Stubborn adherence to a rule that doesn’t really exist.

Check out Noll’s record of wins and losses especially the first three…

Noll also took over a franchise that had never played in the postseason before. In almost 40  years. And the only way to build a team was the draft. No FA. So it took longer. No comparison to now.

Gotta be honest....

How many good coaches would look at this situation and get excited?

Bad owner, no QB, possible new GM who you don't know.

I don't see Sean Payton, or anyone like him lining up for this one, unless Tepp overpays again.

I think at this point we should tank the season and get legit QB for the future.

I think that could be the inevitable outcome no matter if we try or not.

Purposely tanking never seems to work.  The Dophins tried that and couldn't pull it off a few years ago.  No matter how hard a team tries to be inept, some other team will be more inept just on its own merits.  Unfortunately, I think we are that "some other team."

Dolphins have looked pretty good this year. They traded away a bunch of assets in 2019 for draft picks. It  just took some time for it to come to fruition. The Tua injury might derail them, but I would push back on the idea they "couldn't pull it off".

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
