I agree. Interesting choice. USC will always have an advantage in the PAC and UW has surged, but is that a tougher duo than Texas and Oklahoma?
I'm not sure suggesting Temple has a challenge in replacing Rhule and continuing their recent success is exactly rooting against them.
Temple is never going to the Power 5 so there is no need for them to overspend on a HC again. But their AD is pretty good at hiring Football coaches, so they should be fine.
And just a day or two ago [roll]
Guess they weren't counting on a really prestigious job like Baylor to come calling.
absolutely I would choose Oregon over Baylor. Not even a second to think
Baylor is good training for his eventual job as HC at Penn State--remember Franklin is on the hot seat!
The Baylor AD, Mack Rhoades, was a finalist for the AD job here in 2009, losing out to Pernetti. He went on to become AD at Houston, then Missouri and now Baylor. Pernetti went on to hire Mike Rice and Kyle Flood.
Oregon doesn't have a built-in recruiting base, whereas Texas is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to HS players. At Oregon, Rhule better find a way to tap into California and that's not so easy if you don't have the right contacts. In California, highschoolers think of the AAC as a fledgling conference and what's a Temple.
probably has a longer leash. the coach fired at Oregon didn't do horrible, but obviously losing season are not allowed in Oregon. Baylor probably give him 3 years no pressure and the keys to the palace if he fixes things
I don't think you can discount what happened at PSU. If Franklin hadn't turned it around, Rhule may have been one of the AD's first calls. Now that Franklin is set it makes no sense to stay at Temple.
You really need Temple fans to explain how good of a job Ruhle did there? Seriously?
Plus, Baylor is not even a fair test. I wouldn't go within a mile of that place.
Yes, the Temple job is not a P5 job. Now we see how he does in the big leagues. Same goes for Herman in fairness.
With all of Baylor's problems(who knows what ends up coming down on them) why in the world would any coach take a job there over Oregon?
Chip and Joanna are excited.Cheap housing.
I am sure this play a big part.
His not so secret just got married. Time for him to move on.
It's Waco, sir. Besides Baylor, the only thing Waco is known for is:
Seriously, I would stay in Philly.
But now Mrs. Rhule can furnish her home at Magnolia. Maybe even get on an episode.It's Waco, sir. Besides Baylor, the only thing Waco is known for is:
Seriously, I would stay in Philly.
Money is a good reason, especially if Rhule felt the Oregon job would be going to the Boise HC.
Also with the type of boosters that school has, Baylor will be having heavy political influence and funding for putting pressure on the NCAA to be lenient while claiming those involved aren't part of Baylor anymore
This is a real head scratcher. Rhule leaving makes perfect sense as he loses Walker who is a large part of his success. Now is the time to make the move. But to Baylor? Yes, there is a ton of talent, but there is also a ton of competition. Don't see him doing it there, and Waco? When you could be in Eugene, OR? Looks like a bad decision both ways.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! Where is that one big-mouthed DOUCHE BAG from Temple who has been beating us down with the "I know Rhule...he's never leaving Temple...we've discussed it many times" CRAP??!!!

Baylor may be left out when UT/OKLA/UK leave the B12...very shaky conference since the ACC signed the long-term GOR...
I think he's gone within three years to a much lesser school. The match seems so weird.
TU's coaching change is having reverberations all the way to NZ...LOL..
He will recruit mostly in TX and surrounding States and cherry pick players from NJ and PA. We have seen this act before.
