Why do people even spend time thinking or talking about this?

Why would Rhule even say this unless he was asked a direct question as to how long he plans to be at Baylor.

He was probably asked about it because of his track record. 2 years at Baylor and 2 years of exploring NFL option. Have a decent year this year and he will be throwing his hat back in the ring.
Still think he choked the first year, probably on purpose. What better way too show just how decimated the team was than losing only to bounce back the next year and will 7 more games. No other way to explain losing to Liberty and UTSA. Its one hell of a boost to one's NFL resume
No O-line, transfers, a lost recruiting class, a festering scandal that took quite a toll on everyone involved including players, etc. Those in the know on here and in articles know why 2017 happened and have in depth posted about it, talked about it, broke it down, and analyzed it, and it's not because CMR was doing it on purpose just to score a NFL gig.ImwithBU said:PartyBear said:

Dude it was Liberty and UTSA, the roster was that depleted. The Oline argument only goes so far. At some point you adjust and get the ball out of the QBs hand faster not have lengthy play action routesBear8084 said:No O-line, transfers, a lost recruiting class, a festering scandal that took quite a toll on everyone involved including players, etc. Those in the know on here and in articles know why 2017 happened and have in depth posted about it, talked about it, broke it down, and analyzed it, and it's not because CMR was doing it on purpose just to score a NFL gig.ImwithBU said:PartyBear said:

Having things like a center that was just thrown in there at 275 pounds, just learning the system, mistakes are going to be made and it's going to be a long, long, season. No one was tanking anything.

Yea that is actually a pretty smart strategy.Timbear said:
He has conditioned and convinced the team to think it's a positive thing when their coach tries to leave every year. He had a long answer to a short question.
There's a big difference between Junior Samples Briles running around after a contract extension searching for a job and a guy like Rhule who is well liked in the NFL and is someone teams might want to hire as their head coach. Rhule makes it clear that he is going to be pursued.Redbrickbear said:Yea that is actually a pretty smart strategy.Timbear said:

It keeps the team from panicking. The players come to expect it every year and even come to see it as a positive "people love our coach and want him!"
It under cuts the x, thee, milli, Regent idiot types who think its some kind of horrible unforgivable betrayal of trust thing for a head coach to look for a better offer.
Rhule is a good long term planner.

When he interviews again after this year, Rhoades needs to tell him to just go so Baylor can get someone they can count on.

I'm a HUGE fan of Rhule. He's a stud. Having said that, your an idiot for saying there's a difference between him interviewing after he signed a contact (first year) and Briles signing a contract (extension).
YOU SEE BRILES IN YOUR SLEEP
Of course CMR was neither sub-par, nor desperate.Dman said:Timbear said:

Who would that be? Only person who would agree to commit to Baylor after we burned down a nationally relevant program is a sub-par desperate coach.
All coaches are hired guns for rent. All we can ask is for Rhule to leave (if/when) us better than he found us. He didn't create this chaos.
