Matt Rhule to Baylor

we should be more concerned with ourselves than wishing ill on others.
Wait a minute. Didn't the Owl fans steadfastly say Rhule would NEVER leave Philly? His wife loved it there? @Owlfan_in_North Jersey ????
Psst. He's a Syracuse fan. Why he is here, don't ask me?
He will be reunited with a lot of recruits who chose Temple over RU!
Al Golden with Flood as OL coach?
He is going to be in for a challenge there. They have 1 commit so far. Now we learn if he is the coach the Temple fans have made him out to be.
If Walker had eligibility left Flood could move him to safety to prove he was right all along.
Not sure about the money but I cannot see GS going down to a group of 5 job. He could have had one last year and declined it.
AAC>MAC.
Read this article last night about Cincinnati being the best job for PJ Fleck. Same logic applies. It is a better springboard to a bigger job.

Dantonio went from MAC to Cincy to MSU; Kelly from lower level job to Cincy to ND; Jones to Tennessee.
Al Golden to Miami. Now Matt Rhule to Baylor.
He should consider it.
Good points. I think Houston is the best AAC job. Money from alums and great area to recruit.
Co offensive coordinators! They could setup a real sweet Ciarocca inspired spread offense. Of course the really sad thing is that it would put up better numbers than ours did last year.:flushed:
I agree. Urban Meyer took a similar path going from Bowling Green to Utah (Mountain West) before getting hired by Florida.
We can do both.
BTW, tough adjustment for Ruhle's wife.....going from Philadelphia to Waco.
Fleck is hot now. Why would he make that move when it could backfire? If no Power 5 gig comes along, I'd stay where I am.
The BE was still a BCS conference when Dantonio went there and wasn't Temple in the MAC when Golden started?
Fleck gains zero going to Temple..doubt that happens..same size fan base as WMU..WMU at least has on Campus stadium..
Could see PJ at Cinncy..but still,thats kind of a lateral move..
He would be best to sit another year,when more power five jobs will come open..

Kind of disappointed that's the job he's taking. I'm sure he'll get a ton of money, but he deserves a job like Tennessee. Good luck to him - very good coach.
Although he did manage to get out coached by Kyle Flood twice. Not an easy feat.
That's a good point, and don't think the SN looked at it that way--and they should have. Their oversimplified point, however, is Cincy is a great trade-up/stepping stone type of job. Perhaps Temple is too, as it served Al Golden (for a short while) and now Matt Rhule well. But Fleck can be picky--we saw Hazell go from Akron to Purdue and Babers from Bowling Green to Syracuse--so he can probably make the P5 jump.
Cincinnati & Houston are jobs that also have an added 'wildcard' in that they may be queued up for ascension to a better conference - Houston was very close - and then the possibility faded - but it is still felt by many that there will be some shuffling in the not too distant future and Cincinnati & Houston (and a few others) are on the list of 'usual suspects' to come out as winners in the changes when & if they happen.
Temple....? hard to see it ... I'd bet on UCONN escaping their purgatory before I could see Temple finding a pretty new home.

If Temple can maintain its football momentum (and they are no slouch at basketball), then Temple>>UConn if the ACC were looking to add more TVs, and please don't say UConn brings the NYC market--but Temple brings the Philly market.
Temple has been more successful hiring lately than we have. The Tie, Dazzler, Rhulester. Each one arguably built on the foundations of his predecessor. They didn't have to pay out contracts with three successive hires. Stepping stone, sure, but that's huge. We got lucky with one hire in modern 1A history. And forked out tons of money for firing coaches. Sorry, Frank doesn't count.
Not sure I would have picked Baylor, and all of its' problems, over Oregon.
