Just how deeply disliked was Matt Rhule?

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

Yeah, it turns out Bridgewater was likely telling the truth.

The whole notion just sounded so ridiculous it was hard to accept.

I think the more apropos title would be, "How disliked was Matt Rhule as a coach?" I do believe that as a person, some people actually liked him. I think that his coaching philosophy was a dark cloud over all, but that when players and staff actually have time to reflect over time, they'll be able to discriminate between the two. Rhule's modus operandi seems more a match for developing college and high school kids than developing men in a professional setting. 

I think that Rhule likes to impose his control, and that doesnt necessarily work well with free grown men. Men control themselves if they believe in a process that shows results.

Kinda makes me wonder if the attempts to downplay "keep pounding" might have come from Rhule.

Seeing "The Brand" painted around the building was def Rhule and very lame. I think it was on Higgins Youtube channel he filmed his signing day and there was dumb generic poo posted all over the place

Based on some of the reactions we're seeing, a lot.

Damn 😳

You didn't get that vibe watching the team play? Remember the Baker from Cleveland? The confidence he came in with each week going into each game? That has been gone. 

I know the team is just bad right now, but Baker's demeanor here compared to everywhere else he's been told me everything that I needed to know.

He wasn't just a coach though.

He was in charge of "the program" and from what we're hearing it sounds as though he was treating staff like peons.

It's not the players who are speaking out...yet.

Yeah at what other team does the social media staff talk about how toxic the HC interaction was? That's new level and has nothing to do with how bad of an actual x and o's coach he is.

What was Rhule's "thing"? Like what did he come in being good at? Most NFL Head Coaches now have a specialty of some kind and it's beyond being a position coach for those who are successful.

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.

I'm sorry, did you hear accounts that weren't reported?  If so, would you mind sharing?

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
