Got around to seeing clips; man this dude is really high on himself.  I get he's trying to sell his abilities but he really doesn't take the right angles.  If I were in his boat, I'd position myself filled with humility and taking lessons learned.  What he admitted when he was asked about what he would do different was such a bad answer.  I always felt that he had basically no relationship with our best players and he pretty much admitted to it.  You just never saw CMC, Moore, or our top talent actually back him up or speak of him like they did Ron.  And then Matt is like, yep, I didn't really talk to them much, finally did after a few years.  

And meanwhile, he's still acting like he's got some type of secrete sauce.  Such a salesman.

No coincidence that Luke and Stew were back at the first practice of the post Rhule era and the media team was allowed to post it online

It sounds like something that, if you are an AD at a major program, it will give you a pause about him.  Everybody tries and fails at things.  As long as they take something away from the failure that makes them better and helps reduce the likelihood of another failure, that is grown.  He failed at moving to a level that many good college coaches before him have failed.  The fact that he didn't own up to learning anything beyond BS, sounded like BS, could close some doors for him.  He didn't grow, at least that he would admit.

Geez, guy, act like a normal human being, not some guy on the tube at 1:30am doing an infomercial.

He’s so fake because he knows deep down he is a fraud

And maybe I just haven't paid attention before, but I don't recall any other NFL coaches getting fired midseason and then doing the talk circuit. Am I wrong?

6 weeks after being fired, with 7 more weeks plus the playoffs to go? I can't recall anyone doing that, or why anyone besides him and his agent would have any interest in having him do any media at the moment. Brian Flores did a few shows in the offseason but he actually had the lawsuit to talk about. Sean Payton is on a couple shows here and there but he's "retired" and also talks about football things because he knows football things. Sounds like Rhule just talked about himself

I honestly believe he is out there campaigning for himself because he is not getting the looks he thought he would from more prestigious CFB programs. I don’t think any P5 school Is going to go after him. Georgia Tech, Arizona State …can all do better. He is probably going to have to go to a place like UAB or a program like that.

Yeah and you also have to want Phil Snow because without him Rhule is just a guy that can say a lot of words

Watching some of the clips he is just such a college coach. I don't say it as a bad thing. I honestly think he might land somewhere and do a great job. It's just that the NFL and college games are different beasts and he's tailor made for the college game and recruiting and getting players to buy in and maximize them over a short timeframe. That's not the NFL. The NFL is Xs and Os all day everyday. Rhule doesn't seem to be about that. He's a program builder. He thinks you can work hard and right attitude your way to success. You can in college if you can get the right kids on campus. You can't in the NFL. Every team is chock full of those guys who were the right kids on campus.

    • 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.
    • 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.
