Rhule declared moral victory. What's so bizarre about that?Quote:
And unfortunatly for Matt Rhule of Baylor, he gave a particularly cring worthy quote following his team's 23-13 loss to Iowa State.
"We may not have walked the field off as winners but we're winners in my book," Rhule said.
Some would point out that in the real record book, the Bears are now 1-10 on the season, which is even worse than Jones' Tennessee team.
I think the fact that it was our 4-5th moral victory of the year. Or that this is big time college football, they shouldn't exist at all?GhettoHEBear said:Rhule declared moral victory. What's so bizarre about that?Quote:

Once you start seeing these types of bizarre quotes it is a death knell. I'm not saying it's going to happen tomorrow, but nobody comes back from this combination of disastrous losses and desperate spin behavior. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying he's proud that they are still out there fighting but the Little League "we're all winners in my book" rhetoric is embarrassing.
Guessing he gets at least 3 years. The staff comes back intact next year, repeats some equivalent level of failure in the second season, the AD forces coordinator(s) changes, he becomes a lame duck and then gets fired at end of a 3-9 season in the third year. We'll look back at Liberty like we look back at the UNLV debacle during Steele's first year. It is difficult to climb out of holes in your initial season.PartyBear said:Franklins said:

Agree, he knows the end is near. Not saying next week, but probably 53 weeks from yesterday or today if things aren't significantly better by then. He is already exhibiting Steele final year antics.

Losing to Liberty and UTSA in your first two games as a P5 head coach is hard to overcome.
Not really. Kevin Steele would've at least beaten Liberty (especially at home).Chanceux said:

So if we get one more moral victory, do we become moral bowl-eligible?
Did cover up rape. Paid the big bucks and moved on. Course it wasn't institutional like at Baylor.Dia del DougO said:
Matt Rhule didn't have a full roster chock full of seasoned five star talent like Butch wasted (after actually trying covering up rape, but they failed to mention that part for some odd reason). SEC Country seems like they suck.

I love hearing this. I hope nobody was there (sorry Sr's but you are the victims in all of this) and that next season the stadium is half full.PartyBear said:
If the turnout including the tail gate turnout yesterday is a harbinger of support for this going forward, which the AD should take as such, they aren't going to let this go on beyond 2 years. They can't afford to let it go longer. In fact a career AD such as Is Rhoades is going to be shxtting his pants showing up yesterday and seeing a half full stadium and half full tail gate grounds. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is talking now to BMDs to see if there is possibility he can get a buyout together as soon as next weekend. Rhoades knows he loses his among the highest paid in the country AD gig here real soon as well if he can't fix this.

And then get blown out by everyone else.
This is exactly right. This is the beginning of a coach realizing that he was completely in over his head when he took the job and now it is basically trying to string it out as long as he can to keep the checks rolling in.Franklins said:

You serious, Clark?PartyBear said:
I think what happened actually is that Rhoades put all his eggs in hiring Herman, in fact I think he was probably hired to hire Herman, then Texas unexpectedly made a move against Strong and that threw everything off for him. He then had to scramble to get someone.
