Neither are we.

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.

I nominate you President of the Pollyannas and EvilTroy can be Vice President in case you are out having a soft ice cream or chasing unicorns. Do I hear a second to the nomination?

Took him long enough, think a deal went south?

---

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.

---

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

---

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.

---

I'll go one further: I'd give him a pass since it's the Jets if he hadn't looked last year, too. Clearly he wants out and wants out yesterday.

Or he decided to stay on his own.

Because he had no control over the coaching staff. Don't be shocked if we have this conversation again in January 2020.

Yeah, after building us from an awful program into a conference championship, Heisman-winning program. Rhule got us to where we started in year 2 and has tried to leave EVERY YEAR.

Also, Briles never even freaking interviewed. Rhule was ready to sign on but wouldn't because the Jets wouldn't do it his way. I don't fault him on the last part, but I'll never support him. God didn't call him here, his god did. His career.

As I recall, he was eating at a restaurant with a phone in each hand, one a call from Oregon and the other from Waco. The Lord told him to go to Waco.

He tried to leave twice, and now God will force him to wander around Waco for the next 40 years as punishment.

he declined other offers, he doesnt want out at all costs... He wants to be an NFL coach and he will get an offer too good to pass up one day.

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.

---

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.

Mack Rhoades needs to grow some damn balls and make sure this does not happen in the near future. Matt Rhule needs to be kept on a leash. He was sweating bullets on the Smoak show.
