Baylor has doubled down on Rhule. It is admittedly a gamble- - such is life. It will help with recruiting. It rewards a coach who went from a horrible 1 win season to a Texas Bowl victory over sec sec. Rhule likes where he's at. I like Baylor's chances going forward.

---

I have cautious optimism, regarding the direction Matt Rhulle is leading Baylor Football. 2018 was a pleasant surprise with a bowl victory, and a winning record. 2019 has been very good so far, but we all know the toughest Big XII football games are ahead, especially Oklahoma and Texas Tech. I would love for Baylor to have at least 8 wins by those two big showdowns.

You lost me on Texas Tech.

First of all, I am and always have been a Baylor fan. When Baylor wins I'm happy.

That said, I question the timing of this decision. Rhule has yet to bring his overall record to over .500. He is 4-0 this year but has yet to beat a team with a winning record. Last season showed seven wins but none against a team with a winning record.

The Bears grabbed a win Saturday but gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and were lucky to survive.

Does anybody think this might be premature? Does Rhoads think this contract will keep Rhule from bolting to the pros like he has threatened the last two off seasons?

It seems the squad this year still poses a lot more questions than answers. And I think most of the questions lie with the coaching staff, not the players.

I remember Kevin Steele being given an extension while he still had a losing record at Baylor. Shortly afterward, he was fired.

I think all Baylor fans want the best for our team but myself and others think the jury is still out on Rhule. Could it be that Rhoads is trying to bolster his decision to hire Rhule in the first place?

Let's let the season play out then judge this decision.

We'll see.

Stranger, You are more than welcome to relocate to Mount Vernon, and continue supporting Art Briles. There is aa core group of Briles supporters, who drive from the Waco area to attend every Mount Vernon football game, both home and away in 2019. In the meantime, Matt Rhule is proving why he was the right hire for Baylor Football in the aftermath of the sexual assault scandal. More positive stories are being written about Baylor football, who by the way, has a 6-game winning streak. How about giving the man a chance, ,Stranger?

Rhule's first 12 games 1-11

Rhule's last 12 games (back to K-State 2018) 8-4

If you can't see improvement, you should get your eyes checked.

Dont placate Stranger. He won't be able to reconcile that Rhule will have a better Record after 3 seasons than his golden calf
