Baylor had the big issue with Art Briles and the program kind of fell apart, but to go from 10-3 to 7-6, then 1-11 with Rhule, doesn't look good on him. Sounds like he's a stellar recruiter, but what kind of coach is he?

 

To his credit, he had a good run at Temple.

 

I'm hoping this was either just due diligence, or he's in the mix for an assistant spot. 

 

Kind of reminds me of 2012 when Marc Trestman's name came out of nowhere...

Remember the movie necessary roughness? That is literally the situation that he walked into down there.

We did just lose Joe philbin

Rhule doesn't have much experience as an O-Line coach though.

What’s your point with Oline experience?? Ballard wouldn’t interview candidates for coordinator jobs until his coach was hired.  

I'm just responding to a post that says Rhule might replace Philbin. And an O-Line coach isn't exactly a coordinator. I think they can be hired separate of the head coach.

I read some thoughts on why he was interviewed and this was the most interesting: 

Quote

Makes sense. He's looked at strongly due to his work at Temple, back to back ten win seasons at that program is great. Hard to hold his first season at a completely gutted Baylor program against him. Don't think this gets out unless he's not getting the job, though. Baylor has enough obstacles to overcome with recruiting without adding "coach might leave for the NFL in two weeks" to the list.

It makes sense and if he was being hired, there's no way this would be leaked.

Lol this dude isn’t leaving a college HC job for an NFL oline job. But you are also incorrect the head coach hires his own staff.  Obviously with input from the GM but the hire is his.

I never said he was. The poster said he could be a replacement for Philbin and I said it's probably not likely. I know the HC hires the coordinators, but I think the position coaches are probably a mix of both. McDaniels(or whoever the HC is) might be thinking about bringing him in(unlikely) and Ballard decides to take a look.

If they're following the Niners blueprint and hiring McDaniels, then they'll line up several assistant candidates before they officially make the hire. Shanahan was announced one day after the SB, and the next day, the Niners announced a handful of assistants. So they were working on that well before he was sworn in.

I don’t think we’d be interviewing him for that.  I said before he won’t leave Baylor for a positions job in the nfl.

Adam RittenbergESPN Staff Writer 

SOURCES: Baylor coach Matt Rhule interviewed for the Indianapolis Colts head coaching vacancy earlier this week. Rhule, who completed his first season with the Bears in November, spent the 2012 season as the New York Giants offensive line coach. He is 29-34 in five seasons as a college head coach.

 

So minus the dumpster fire at Baylor in 2017 does that make him 28-26 as a college coach?

I wouldn't worry about this folks. No way Irsay will allow this hiring. If he does I would be really shocked. Makes no sense and no way would Ballard and Irsay be able to get on local TV here and announce this guy as the next HC. The fan base would crap their pants.

Cool ndisder me worried that we are even interviewing a guy who has only had success at one of the lowest levels of college football...

No interview for Toub, but Matt Rhule gets one. I'm sure Toub is steaming.

Toub was only mentioned as a potential candidate because of the media and his connection to Ballard.  I don’t think he was ever on the list.  It makes me sad that had we fired Pagano last year we’d probably have Kyle Shanahan as our head coach...

Makes sense to have a few candidates lined up to me.

      I appreciate your frustration…. But you and I have had this exact same conversation before.      What can I tell you?   The world changed.  Information used to come in your morning newspaper or the 10 or 11p news.  Info moved slowly.      Now information moves at the speed of a tweet.  The pressure to keep up has exploded.   Most people don’t get their news from the paper,  they get it from their phone.   Everyone is doing the best they can under extremely difficult circumstances.   Well…. Most everyone.    And what may be crap to some is fine for others.   In this thread here, @Superman noted that for some people the news is good or bad simply if they agree with it or not.  We, all of us,  are far, far more tribal than we ever used to be when we were younger.      The world has changed for better and worse.   Who was the former Indy Star writer who left to join The Athletic? He wrote about how,  for the first time in his life, having to worry about selling subscriptions.  And if he didn’t hit quotas he was going to get fired.  I was horrified for him.  My heart broke for him.  Why The Athletic thinks that’s a good business model is beyond me, but they do.   That kind of excruciating pressure will inevitably lead to bad editorial decisions.  A real shame.      I don’t know what kind of response you were expecting from me….  But these are my thoughts.   Hope it clarified.

      It's a valid concern. We had a powerhouse post on this from one of our members after the Colts made the pick. You should check it out.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By teganslaw · Posted

      Laiatu Latu is one of the best pass rushers in the draft, but I am a bit concerned about his past neck injury. He had to go several doctors before finding one who allowed him to play. I'm sure the Colts vetted him before drafting (as did other teams who wanted him), so they must feel he's safe enough.    However, this injury could re occur sometime, and cause later problems. Consider the Cowboys Leighton Vander Esh who was a very good player but finally had to retire due to a nagging neck injury.    Is anyone else concerned about this? Or am I jumping to conclusions?

      I agree.   Not only is it important to be first but those stories that generate the most clicks make the most money.   In this day and age you have to be very sensationalist, be first and generate the most clicks.   Truth be damned
