Is he still here?

Unfortunately, I have not seen anything to the contrary.  My guess is we are stuck with him for the next two months, at a minimum. 

I feel about Rhule's press conferences like I feel about a President's State of the Union Adddress.  I'll listen to about the first three minutes.  Once it becomes clear he is not going to announce his resignation, I move on.

However, I am no longer in the camp of thinking Tepper will keep him around after this season.  That belief hinged on the condition that the team showed improvement and the coaching staff not look as completely clueless when the losses start rolling in as they did last year.  While there is some improvement in certain aspects of the team, the coaching staff is hopelessly like our friend here:

I'm in no way convinced that there's been a whit of improvement, but that our opponents have been just as hapless for the first four games and the ones for our first three last season.

It's time for this experiment in on the job training to end. 

I'm not sold on any of our first four opponents.  The Giants walk out of September at 3-1, but it is a very weak 3-1.  We may not even be the worst team they have beaten so far.

For us to leave September 1-3 could point us at a 2-3 win season, given our schedule from here on out and our track record as the season progresses under this brain trust.

He should have been gone last season, now it is too late. 

It would be fun just to see him fired, but none of these other coaches have what it takes to be a HC. We would also lose snow and Wilkes would run zone and blitz every play. 

Let's just hope for next season being better.

I’ve come to grips with the fact that he is here until the end of the year and it is going to dramatically improve our draft position by him being here. 
 

We’ve got four winnable games left on the schedule. Two against Atlanta (though they are clearly a better team than us, one against New Orleans and one against Seattle)

Im thinking we end the season with three wins and pick just behind the Texans in the number two spot next year. 
 

New coach will inherit a talented defense, a stable offensive line, some nice skill positions and will then need to draft his qb and sign a journeyman backup qb to start the first six games or so (like a foles). 
 

Not a bad head coaching destination.

Exactly. This was our easiest stretch and we went 1-3. The upcoming games will be eye opening ( and not in a good way)

    • 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.
    • 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
