Just how deeply disliked was Matt Rhule?

Honestly, I was already sensing there was some meddling going on with the creative/PR/marketing depts. as they seemed to have gone extremely tone deaf during the Rhule era.  Also, the tone of the tweets and social media posts shifted more towards a college-recruitment arm than a professional team.  I felt this way for the last few years, but it really came to a head towards the end of this last offseason when they tweeted out the video of the guys playing soccer with Rhule playing goaltender and he saved the kick and ran to the camera screaming "You get that???  You get that?!?!" Again, it felt like a college recruitment tool and I can't recall anything more cringey I have seen from our social media team.  It honestly was embarrassing.  

And again, I have to ask, wtf Tepper was thinking and doing during all of this?  Like why tf is your coach meddling in the creative/social media process?  Doesn't he have more pressing matters?  That is literally crazy.

Said it elsewhere: This is classic "college coach" behavior.

College football coaches are kings of everything, like little tin gods of their programs. Rumors of Rhule being a massive micromanager certainly fit the profile.

You can't be that guy at the NFL level, but it sounds like Rhule sure tried.

Petrino, Myer, Rhule... I'm seeing a pattern here.

College coaches make their programs about them and that’s ok in college 

NFL is about players which he could never fully understand. The amount of “weaseling” I heard he did was atrocious. Thank god this chapter is over.

This is a product driven business which did not produce. You’re out.

Pretty much exactly what I was gonna say after reading the initial post.

My bad I forgot Colin Thomson was just another Temple croney who’s only on a nfl team because of his connection with Rhule, so clearly not a good source to believe.

We've heard players defend him, but I suspect how he treated non-players may have been a whole other matter.

Thought of you when I saw some of this. You mentioned similar stuff before.

Pretty sure Rhule had it as a condition of his hire.

He said things to that effect prior to becoming an NFL coach.

Tepper didn't have to hire him. I would have thanked his wife for the meatballs and wished him luck. I also wouldn't have had Hurney as an adviser as he would have be my first victim as soon as I took over, so there's that.

Except when it came to actual football preparation, we didn't believe him, but apparently red zone offense wasn't practiced much when TB was here

      Monday practice tweets

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
