Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

[Napkins]

Rhule mentioned at least once that he is tired of the entitlement mindset. My guess is that this is not the first time that he's had that issue here and he felt calling them out publicly was the next step because keeping it in house had failed. If my guess is wrong and if egos are bruised over being called out rather than the turd they laid in MN then it's no wonder we are baby shit soft.

I agree that it is intentional. That it got to that point is a failure of leadership.

Disagree. Addressing it is leadership. Sometimes things need to happen to be believed. I don't hold myself accountable to everything my kids do that I think is wrong or not inline with my expectations; if I've clearly communicated expectations and taught them how to do things, then the accountability is on them. That's when you call them out and coach them or provide consequences.

Leadership is NOT preventing anything wrong from happening.

“The buck stops over there.”

Maybe it is just me but “I had to tell on my coaches to the press because they didn’t listen to me” is concerning. Leadership when you are a head coach is absolutely preventing your team from playing like that, especially when they are demonstrating that they do not share your vision for preparation.

Either they will respond to it or not but that it needed to happen is a problem and reflects poorly on the head coach.

I think there were obvious major distractions last week. Ever been in a work environment when you were on the "outside" of the inside information? I'd bet it (it's) causing a ton of anxiety and can be very de-motivating. That game shouldn't have been close, I don't buy we shit the bed. Rumors true or otherwise fuck with everyone's headspace. I hope I am wrong on Saturday.

Maybe there is some reason for his coaches and team to feel resentment and a sense of betrayal?

Current situation at my work place.
Going through a new director search, unsure of progress of the search and/if our interm, who I want, will be the next director.
Worried about change if there is an "outside" hire gives me anxiety a little bit. Nobody really knows

Both can be true

Team development is not a linear thing. You have peaks and valleys, ideally those peaks and valleys track from bottom left to top right.

As a competitive coach (of course not one being paid 8.5 million), I've had a number of teams that struggle during their growth path to championships, then they invest in the culture, the new ideas, and then break through ceilings achieving things they once did not.

Once that ceiling is broken, they can feel as though they have arrived if you will. Only to find out they haven't, after getting punched in the mouth. During those learning moments, I can assure you that messages were being delivered that speak to the idea that we have NOT arrived, and that we must improve our work and preparation to be successful at the next level. Often times all the intentional messages delivered falls on deaf ears until they are once again punched in the face.

I do not believe it was intentional. There were many distractions, they experienced consecutive weeks of squeaking by on fourth quarter come backs...and that doesn't mean the lessons weren't being taught or delivered by Rhule or any of the other coaches. The question is were they being absorbed.

We will learn a lot more this upcoming Saturday and what the make-up of personal ownership that the actual team has in all of this.

To say it was all intentional is at the very least short sided. Learning and growing isn't a straight line.

This is a real thing with these shots?

 

[realbp]

Holgo press conference is absolutely in-line with HCMR. I'm confident in Saturday.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

This press conference is the first thing that really makes me think Rhule is leaving. A week ago he thought he was in line for either a raise to take the PSU job or an extension and more NIL money.

After that turd of a game he's staring at the reality of getting neither

Intentional that he was calling them out publicly in that it was strategic on his part to escalate in that way.
