Too much talk about firing Matt Rhule without first having a plan on where we want to go. The first thing would be to fire Mach Rhoades because he picked Rhule and also paid him twice as much as he should have. After hiring a new AD let that person hire the new football coach.

You are really out of touch with how bad a situation Baylor was in 2016.

No coach with a decent resume (and Rhule had one) would have accepted a below P5 average salary to come to Baylor.

And he's even more out of touch to think what he -- or anyone else here -- thinks about our coaching situation has any influence whatsoever on Rhule or Rhoades' future at Baylor. Both were hired with the future in mind, and both will be given fair amounts of time to do the jobs they were hired to do, whether pockets of the Baylor fan base like them or not.

One might ask if Rhoades has done any better than his football coach.

Well, we've avoided major scandal on his watch, so he's got that on his two immediate predecessors.

The really frustrating part is I truly believe a touchdown on that first-and-goal from the 6 likely would have broken TCU's will and all but ensured a Baylor victory.
I agree. That fumble was a bummer.

I'm willing to bet that Nixon is OC for only one more game.

Does anybody really think that Rhule brought Marcus Satterfield here to be a recruiting coordinator? I don't.

Another Temple retread? Man I hope not. They never had a decent offense in a lesser league. It that's Rhule's solution he doesn't have a solution.

Rhule was a mistake. A bad one. Time to move on......probably to the next one. We shot ourselves in the dick, and it's hell to recover.

There was no scandal.

It was the BOR and Starr not doing their jobs and blaming football. Which included trashing innocent players and students on live television and pushing falsehoods as facts. Using entrapment law schemes and relying on hit pieces against Briles and student athletes.

It was a school wide problem and the BOR did their jobs of making the public perceive it as a football problem. That was their PR and self protection so they didn't get personally involved in lawsuits.

They are evil people.

Everyone on this site needs to wake TF up.

Tom Stanton was as responsible for the Dave Bliss issue as Ian McCaw was for the Baylor University issue.

You could say the exact same thing, I suppose, about the Regents at those particular times - the common ones and the University are the only constants in those two scandals.

Can I ask something of everyone that wants CMR fired? How bout we drop the firing comments for now and if next year were a win or two worse you can start them again or by his fourth year if we still haven't made a bowl game can you call for it again.

The reason I think it'll work out is one look at history. He did the same thing at temple and I know it's not power five but that also means no power five recruiting either.

Two a recruits dad said it this way "the coaching staff here at Baylor is one of the most impressive coaching staffs I've ever interacted with." His first son had 20+ D1 offers.

Because I'm a good baptist I'll stop at three even though i could continue. I think our defense is in a different place than ever before. I know they're still not great but after talking to a player on the defensive side he said "man that playbook is tough but I think we're all starting to come around on it and be able to play. We're all playing a lot looser now."

All that to say I know on the game field the results aren't there yet but the culture has changed, they're starting to understand the playbook, and they're wowing the pants off recruits. So before we jump all the way back to square one and start over let's just take a minute and see how the next year or two goes.

That's why the NCAA found nothing on Briles and the program, right? The BOR is guilty. So is Briles. It was and still is a scandal we are rebuilding from.

No, it actually happen. Your buddy who used Baylor as a hole like a ***** didn't have any problem taking that money after he was willing to snitch off his sins to hurt Baylor in a lawsuit.
It was a bad idea to use a school under these circumstances like a hole. It's a big reason why abusers and mentally disturbed Greg Hardy types get second chances in the NFL while the guy using the school as a hole now coaches in a recreational league in Europe.

A cumulative effort to use the school as a hole doesn't need a smoking gun. Apparently, myself and the conservative media partners (including the league's major tv partner) who publish on an international level thought there was enough to place above the fold in the WSJ's weekend edition.

It would have helped to not act a fool post firing. You would have thought after using a school as a hole not to piss off the tv partners and sponsors showing up at Rice and having your hole using assistants let Oakman in the locker room.
Rice sold to the public that they were trash who made it big. The talking heads in the Big 12 then went nuts about it and David Boren used his experience in the Senate to teach those guys a lesson in football business and how it really works. Boren pimped Briles' reputation.

Maybe, but there's plenty of pros out there questioning Rhule as well. Especially the offensive game plan.

He shouldn't be fired if he's going to make a real attempt to improve the staff. If he's planning to roll with the same crew for 2019, then he putting his ego above the program.

You might want to consider a better source. Other sources are confirming there have been significant changes over the past 2 seasons.

From my rather expensive seats it appears to me that the problem hasn't been what O or D we've used but how we used them and how we've utilized our talent in them. That's prolly a bigger problem with the O.

I'm convinced we have significant talent: enough to win but also that a large part of that ain't ready for prime time-this year, at least. Maybe even in 2019.

I'm convinced that this staff can evaluate potential based on some performance and improved hudl's from jr. to sr. years. And, they can recruit.

I'm convinced they know the game and what they want to accomplish. Have been from the Nattygame where Rhule, McIntyre, Barbers et al had a running commentary. Rhule commented on stuff before anyone else seemed to see it...he was way ahead in the recognition game and the ways to counter what was happening.

Will Rhule be successful beyond mediocrity? Don't know. I have some real concerns this year despite the improvements. Can the staff adapt to what guys can do vs. what they want them to do? Don't know. Maybe they've done that and the results show that.

I appreciate the fact that this staff has been patient and not panicked and junked their plans/blueprint. We needed three full recruiting years to stabilize the program and we are 1.5 years into that. It will take more to regain what we lost to get where we expect to be. Or maybe want to be. I don't know what folks expect.

I recently had a football coach tell me "Everyone likes Rhule right now, but in 3 more years, they're not going to anymore. Once his recruits develop to where they are able to play and execute the way he wants them to, he will have a nasty team no one wants to play." He added with a big laugh, "And we've seen that before!"

Who knows? But I give some kudos to the staff for being men about this struggle and keeping things close to the vest.

Rhoads is the one who would fire him and it was Rhoads who gave him a seven year contract.

I think next year is year is the equivalent of year one for a normal circumstance hire. It would take under achieving for two more seasons to even make a consideration of termination. None of us has to agree with that, but why would you think the guy who handed out a seven year contract does not think that?

Rhoads is the one who would fire him and it was Rhoads who gave him a seven year contract.

I think next year is year is the equivalent of year one for a normal circumstance hire. It would take under achieving for two more seasons to even make a consideration of termination. None of us has to agree with that, but why would you think the guy who handed out a seven year contract does not think that?






I think you are on to the reality here.

You are assuming the guy who handed out the 7 year contract will not be fired for doing so among reasons and be the one who evaluates Rhule.

HellToo much talk about firing Matt Rhule without first having a plan on where we want to go. The first thing would be to fire Mach Rhoades because he picked Rhule and also paid him twice as much as he should have. After hiring a new AD let that person hire the new football coach.

You are really out of touch with how bad a situation Baylor was in 2016.

No coach with a decent resume (and Rhule had one) would have accepted a below P5 average salary to come to Baylor.


Hell a good Texas high school coach like McGuire ..could've figured out a way to beat liberty and maybe kansas for 2 wins ... ..beating liberty ain't rocket science...
Well, I thought the same thing back on November 27, 2015 during the TCU monsoon and the very next week, after a week to allow our in-bred brain trust to think about it, we lost the UT Mall Fight to one of the worst UT teams in history.

I think my 7th grade coach would have pulled Johnson and given both TCU and poor UT a pigskin enema.

Remember that game and felt all hope was lost. By the 4th the brilliance of the offensive staff was apparent and ut sphincters we're so puckered they were pinching the bleachers.

This staff has not shown a glimpse of that kind of ingenuity. They don't need to but they do need to prove they can put together an effective offense to beat teams beneath us and better teams every now and then.

Just a question.

Would it make you guys happy if we took away scholarships from Rhule?

I mean kneecapped him. Suspend a few players.

Would that help? I really sense that some of this is personal for a few of you.
