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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
