Took him long enough, think a deal went south? Glad to have him for at least another year.

I can't wait to hear Rhule say that he was never interested in going to the Jets, but he gave them an interview out of courtesy and that he feels like he has a job to do at Baylor because he was lead here. It will be really believable.

Neither are we.

Probably means it's Gase as earlier as leaked at about 5 pm CST. Rhule is being given a few hours to save face in Waco before the announcement.

Rhule is gone if a better offer is made to him.

Should let him go anyway. Screw that guy. He just undermined himself completely.

Maybe the Jets didn't like that he couldn't grow a real beard.

It's going to be tougher walking this one back.

I have no issue with him shooting for an NFL gig if that's his dream job....I just wish he would give this at least 4 years first.

NFL flirting 2 years in a row will certainly be used by rival schools in the recruiting wars.

What an ass.

We're going to have to take 'Trust' out of 'Trust the process'.

It's simply 'the process' now.

An attempt was made by Rhule no doubt. Who's to say he won't do it again next year.

Personally, glad he's staying. I want to see what he can do with a few more years. But cut this **** out every year. It will be used against us in recruiting.

And I better not hear.."see..he was never leaving". BS. He'd be gone if he was offered with right circumstances.

Honestly, this is bull***** I guess the "process" is using Baylor to achieve his own dreams. What a way to completely tank the trust and confidence that you just gained from the entire fan base

I'm curious what Rhoades had worked up or was working on?

And your head is up your ass!!

Wish he would have gone. Not from a negative thought because he has been transition guy and done it well. But his interests are with the NFL and we need a foundation now that transition guy has finished his work and he has no interest in being foundation guy in Waco. Plus, it's understandable that he and his family want to go home to the Northeast. The players don't deserve to be put through this every year. So long and best wishes Matt. There are still other NFL gigs open.

That reason "didn't like the coaching staff" was a lame excuse for not getting the job. I'd think Rhule could put together a better group that KK

What a dick as well. Lame text to your coaches as if you "passed" on the job.

Rhule is staying . . .

For now.

His staff helped us get a bowl win in only his 2nd year here.

And as usual, those who trashed him and jumped to conclusions his two seasons here are...doing the same thing now.

Last year: "I wish the Colts would hire this guy away from us so we can get real coach."

This Year: "Boo Hoo, someone wants our coach."

It's the business. If Briles can be accepted (until his downfall) after flirting with the Longhorns, Rhule will be fine.

YUP. And Briles was flirting with in-state rivals.

Briles won the XII again the next season kicked the ass of the program he talked to on the road and OU as well on the road the next season and we were in play off contention as well and then didn't make himself available to be a candidate anywhere again. That helped make a hell of an amends.

Yes, that's what coaches do. It sucks for us, but it's funny that you think this isn't on every coach's mind every day until they get to where they truly want to be.

I said this in another thread, but the primary reason that I am so annoyed by this process is that he said he was called here by God. That he was "planning on wearing green for a while." He makes his purpose of coaching very faith-based. If that's the case, then his behavior shouldn't be that of a typical coach, working for selfish advancement. He should be different if he is so vocal about Christianity. Take that aspect away from Matt Rhule, and I would still be annoyed but totally understand him returning home for what was probably his childhood dream job. It makes sense. But when you make promises to players and a fan base and have your plans rooted in Christian ideals, your behavior should be markedly different.
