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

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
