This is why I worry about Mack Rhoads and CMR they want to do something different which is more of the same that never really got us to where any of us want to be at the top!
Couldn't agree more my. This right here is why I am so down on the program. In 100 years of Baylor football, we figured out a way to hang with the big boys for the first time by running an unstoppable offense. It was the great equalizer.
And now we destroy our one significant advantage to try and do things the traditional way. In short, same old same old that got us nowhere.
I suspect Rhule can be a good coach with the right talent and competition, but the football he's selling isn't going to have us competing with UT and OU formconference championships IMO, given the talent disparity. Gone is the great equalizer.
Anyone who thinks as you do deserves to squirm in your hell you live in today. It is almost as if I wish we had not even beaten Kansas. You deserve to suffer by accepting "equalized" results.
We are already competing with UT and OU because they have been down the past 6 years or so.
Your equalizer was tainted and ill gotten.
All of the ELITE teams have all three (3) pieces of NCAA Championship Football. Our offense raised some eyebrows but had we gotten into the Final Four a few years ago and played a physical team like Alabama who would line up and jam our receivers at the LOS like they have never been beat up before and then unleashing 4 fire breathing SEC DLs on us with LBs that would have hurt a few of our RBs you would be singing a different tune my juice boxing friend.
You advocate a continuation of what amounts to millenial video game experts scoring 60-70 points from your cush sofa in daddy's house on the Baylor campus while the REAL teams practiced and excelled at DEFENSE and SPECIAL TEAMS in the blood, sweat and mud.
All hat, no cattle.
I advocate a continuation of what you admit is the most successful period of Baylor football in history. You want to do things the traditional way. Where has that gotten us? A few decent years in the 80's and otherwise mediocre.
I respect what you did on the field, but you've proven yourself a clown and buffoon.
This clown and buffoon is confident that Baylor leadership will win out over a handful of juice-boxing knuckleheads on a sports bulletin board.
As usual, this clown is right and you are wrong. Baylor is not going to sell her soul to the devil when we can win with class, honor, decency and be an incredibly good example of what college athletics were intended to be. We do NOT have to fall into the cess pool of what college sports is becoming!
Who the hell are you arguing with? Never have I suggested that we win without class. honor or decency. Never have I suggested we become a cess pool. All I suggested was that we not get rid of the offense that had us performing at our highest level ever - yes even higher than our brief stint of success in the 80's when beating Texas was considered a miracle for little ol' Baylor instead of the norm.
Good god man you argue with more strawmen than any poster on this board.
And before you go touting how right you are, you might want to check your grandiose predictions regarding Rhule prior to the season - you know where you predicted he would bring a championship defense and take us to the place Briles couldn't? I promise I won't let you forget those comments. Yeah they're looking pretty ridiculous right about now.
This just shows you how football ignorant you are. Do you honestly think this was going to happen in a few months????
Did you honestly believe that Rhule was going to come in and keep our track meet O? Did it ever occur to you that he had no prior experience with this O and maybe with our depth and experience in the OL that we would run something he had used successfully before?
Did you honestly think that given our returning players were going to magically start playing championship defense? This was a team that lost 6 in a row.
All of you poindexters need to stick to Madden and leave the real football to men who have been there and done this before.
I'm not giving up on you Spice Girls. I'll continue to work with you but you need to get with the program because a large number have seen the light and are no longer wandering around ripping Rhule, his staff, the BOR and anyone else they want to pin the blame for our demise on.
Are you capable of making a cogent argument without resorting to strawmen?
First, no one said Rhule was going to come here and win a championship overnight. What people DID expect is to win more than one game and not lose to the likes of Liberty and UTSA. Vegas had us winning 6. Did you honestly expect us to lose to those teams? Did you honestly expect us to finish 1-11?
Second, do you know anything about Temple last year? Did you watch a single game? Apparently not because if you had, you would have realized the offense Rhule is running here is very different than the offense he ran at Temple. This is an offense Rhule has never run before. What makes you think he couldn't have hired a coordinator with experience running Briles' offense? Hell, Sterlin Gilbert was available. But instead Rhule hired a former roomate to run the Oregon offense - something he never ran before.
It's kind of pointless arguing with you because it's clear you have done no research and apparently know very little about a Rhule, other than the fact he's not Briles. But if things stay the same, it's going to be enjoyable continuing to throw your predictions in your face.
We are not arguing. We are having fun! This is an avenue to vent and you are a steaming pile of ____tty smokestack belching out filth along with a bunch of other internet warriors just waiting to get on the field or on the sidelines. The problem is that not a single one of you are qualified or able.
I know enough about Rhule to know that he was chosen to rebuild an internally torn down and burned up Baylor program into the image that best represents Baylor University. I have no problem with this given what the previous staff had allowed to be done to our image.
As an ignorant dunce concerning football, you and the other broken hearted pansies (yes, you deserve to be bulletin board whipped and called an appropriate and befitting name) did not realize how bare the previous coaches (using that name loosely) left us when they quit on us.
Players and TEAMS can get into the ditch mentally very quickly and I am convinced that going 0-6 last half of last season, being bombarded by the evil deeds of some of the previous bad apple players brought into Waco and suffering a few bad breaks once the season started led to what they had to endure. I know this because I was a part of a team that went 3-8 when we were supposed to contend for the conference championship. GT was so convinced that this would be our shot at a National Championship that he had hired a film crew to chronicle that entire season from 2-a-days on. That 3-8 season should never have happened yet it did. I never thought we would be 1-11 but we are and now it is time to re-group, see who is truly committed to being here and being successful and start working on 2018s season tomorrow. Fans too! Go ahead and bail now like many have done or get behind the program.
I know this was a different O but did not know that Matt hired his college roommate. Guess what. I don't care because he knows a lot more about football and successful football than you do. I trust his process. Had he wanted to please you and the abundance of bulletin board football heroes on here he might have hired Gilbert. He has a plan and I support it as long as he is 100% committed and does not quit like the previous staff did.
You can cry all you want. Matt is not going anyhere. Get on board or get out of the way.
