Any news?? (stage 3: press coverage)

[LargeFO]

I'm wondering if Matt Rhule would welcome a return to the college scene and be a fit. Carolina is off to a roaring 0-2 start this year leaving Rhule at 10-25 in the NFL which qualifies as a solid failure (bc one can't win without a QB), but nonetheless, it's still his record.

He's led two programs out of the wilderness back to respectability and should be looking to restore some luster. We have nowhere to go but up.

im good. I don’t want anyone that’s buddies with coach WAHO.

Matt Rhule will have better jobs to chose from then Tech by a long shot.

Rhule is terrible. Someone put on twitter this week that everytime they lined McCaffrey up behind Mayfield it was a run and everytime he lined up beside Mayfield it was a pass. A little league coach can figure that out.

Rhule is a tool!

Please don't. I'm a Panthers fan and I'm actively rooting for both of my teams to lose every week just so both coaches get fired as soon as possible. I would literally burn every GT thing I own if I finally get rid of Collins only for us to hire the other coach I want to get rid of.

Every exhibit of horrible coaching we see on the field out of Collins, Rhule exhibits too.

He has not come across as an approachable guy with the Panthers. I wouldn't be a fan of hiring him

 

[Gt2019]

Also heard some rumblings that TStan goes first and the new AD announces the firing of Collins. Don’t really know if I believe that since the timeline would be odd. Just wanted to post this to give some ideas of things my ears are hearing.

TStan should be forced to announce the firing of "his guy".

 

[Techwood Relict]

I have no significant rooting interest for Rhule other than the thought exercise of what type of coach are we hoping for next.
Rhule meets the previous experience, previous success boxes, but I will admit the Temple connection would spook many.
I like Doug Belk, Houston, as a possible up and comer with AHC responsibilities, but no HC background. Those two are very different candidates.
Ultimately, I'm less concerned with experience. I do want someone who injects an air of seriousness to the program. I'd like someone with some connection to the region for recruiting, but good players can be found all over, so not as much of a requirement. I'm not connected to any single scheme, again, all different kinds can be successful, but the coach has to be able to recruit to it.
Mostly, I want to be able to root for my alma mater with some expectation of success. That's difficult right now.

I had dinner at Ruths Chris last night in Knoxville. Next to me at the bar was John Gruden.

"Hey Coach, how about Georgia Tech?"

"Not a chance."

Just the answer I'd like to hear from him.

We do have something in common, I'm a falcons lifer, so I root for the Panthers to fail each week as well, but don't really follow them actively. Rhule is just a prop for the discussion rather than actively advocating for him.

 

[ibeattetris]

Not sure how best to phrase the question, but does firing Collins in two weeks vs now change the decision of what kids redshirt this year? Seeing as how we are at the 4 game mark, kids that have played 4 games can still red shirt.

 

[iceeater1969]

I have been very supportive of cpj and cgc.

Remember , i am the first person to say i hate the new coach.

 

[takethepoints]

And btw, I'm sure CPJ just shakes his head in disgust everytime he sees the scores.

Not to mention the games themselves.

I remember a shot at the press box when we played Fresno State in the Boise Bowl. Paul was up there with a look of disgust on his face at the misuse of the team that I've seldom seen equaled. And, sure enough, he did use that outfit a lot more effectively.

Well, who knows? Maybe we can convince him to do a Bill Synder and come back to rescue us. Weirder things have happened.

Unfortunately, we can always go down more...there's the possibility of going down to G5 or worse...however, the trouble is, we don't even win against them (I almost said against lesser competition, but I suppose we're the lesser now)

Rhule is a tool!

But he's an elite tool!

This is an extremely bold move. I am not saying it is wrong but have you ever filled a job in your own organization like this? I haven't nor would I have the ***** to attempt it either. It seems like you are picking based sheerly on personality or some other unquantifiable at this point.

Some of you will argue that hiring based on a solid resume didn't work out very well for us either. That counter argument would be that 2 years of HC isn't really a lot of data at the end of the day.

This may not be the right thread for this but just wanted to get other people’s opinion.

Did it seem like the broadcasters today were bending over backwards to say nice things about Collins and the team? They even tossed out the obligatory “this was a very challenging rebuild from the previous coach” and also “you can see that CGC is making progress, even getting the kind of players he needs, but we haven’t seen the results in wins yet.”

I found myself wondering why they were so supportive of Collin yet when CPJ was the coach they seemed to take every opportunity to slam and belittle the offense as well as repeating all the negative recruiting tropes. Wish CPJ had gotten that kind of support. The team could really have used the positive press.
