I could write Rhule's answer.  You simply say you have no real regrets but wish the outcome had been better.   it was a great learning experience, and you believe you are better coach now because of it.  And then you simply start talking about how it helped you realize that your real passion and best fit is in the college world.  Boom, done. 

but Rhule isn't a good coach.  Nor a good leader.  Nor an X and O guy.   It's just bullshit.   And I think his bullshit on the college recruiting tour won't sell as well as too many adults steering kids will start pointing it all out since he sort of has been exposed.

Hearing his voice just made me cringe. 
Knowing he lies and probably believes them.

Since he was sooooo bad here, I don’t think we’ll have to worry about this , but there is no way I could ever listen to him as a commentator ( tv / radio ). .  No one would hire him. 
 

I feel sorry for Nebraska.  And hope they lose as long as he’s there

Good point. It wouldn't be a good look for Tepper to skewer him publicly.

i get the feeling that tepper isn't concerned about how he is perceived...i mean not until after he does something. he impulsively does what he wants when he wants and then hides when backlash comes.

Gotta admire her dedication and commitment to support Rhule. 

It's annoying when people don't know the difference between a coach and a general manager.  Rhule was unable to get the production out of a team that had more talent at the time. He didn't use CMC correctly and he kept Foreman on the bench who has been ELITE.  DJ Moore was close to checking out, Psycho Bob Andersen was on the brink of complete mental collapse.  The run fits sucked.  Hell even McAdoo is performing better without Rhule here.

You know Tepper is petty as hell. He won't randomly tweet anything but Joe Person will get some amazing in depth source material for an Athletic article soon lol. 

I'm waiting for Tepper to take over the Nebraska collective, donate money to all competing programs, and or purchase property next to Rhule's new house just to keep 7 years of construction running at all hours of the day just to get back at him.

This. I've been saying for months that Rhule and Nebraska were the perfect fit but watching his blame game tour I'd be rolling my eyes if I was a Nebraska fan.

Look man, you got fired as an NFL coach. That poo happens. I mean, Bill Belichick got fired as an NFL coach. It's called the Not For Long League for a reason. Just suck it up, own it, say you tried your best and unfortunately it didn't work out and keep it moving. You've already landed your next gig. There's no reason to play this blame game bullshit other than to massage your own ego 

He is too self absorbed to take the high road.

Honestly, after that poo, it should be fair game for the organization to drop the professionalism and just fuging skewer this fugtard. Air all his dirty laundry.

Don't think we will hear from the major players in the front office but have to think that Fitt has some friends in the building that may speak off the record. Maybe even a player or too.    I would imagine that there are quite a few people upset with what Rhule said.  I hope they start talking. Reporters get to work!

Players have made a statement about Rhule already in the way they are praising Wilks.

Yikes 😬

He's basically saying Tepper misled him, and that if he were told differently or given more time he could have produced.

He references Wilks, but seems to ignore the fact that the team only improved after he left and some of his loyalists were fired.

Wonder how the players who defended him while he was here would feel about this.

Ultimately I don’t think many players who have stuck around the league for a few seasons care at all. Honestly reaching the NFL at all even for a short time is a massive achievement regardless of what team or coach you play for.

These players will tow the party line until it’s not convenient to do so and then they’ll migrate to toeing the line for another coach. Except low IQ players like Robbie Anderson who will likely be out of the NFL as soon as next season.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
