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

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
