WTH?

 

[doctornick]

Huh. Interesting choice of destination for him. I guess it's better than the likes of Purdue and has some recent history of success.

 

[c1976]

Good for him

 

[jim cummings]

I said this to my uncle and dad the other day but Rhule could have left last year. Is it any possibility that he bought into the CJF hot seat stuff and wanted to hang around Philly one more year to see how the season played out for PSU? I don't have any doubts that PSU would be the pinnacle for him.

Clearly, Franklin isn't going anywhere so I'm not surprised by him leaving at this point.

 

[kgilbert78]

I hope he doesn't run into what Golden ran into in Miami.

Culture, you know....

 

[Obliviax]

Quite a change in style for Baylor. Rhule is more of a pro-style, game control guy. Will be interesting to see how he puts the pieces together at Baylor.

A good friend is a season ticket holder. Baylor's stadium sounds awesome. It has its own Wifi with video feed. You can select one of several replay feeds from your mobile device on demand.

Back to Baylor, they'll now be back up against UT with Houston's old coach.

 

[bwifan]

Interesting choice for Baylor. Rhule will be a good HC I believe at most schools. As others have said interesting since he does not run the wide open offense, more a pro set offense. Good time to go as with Walker leaving at QB Temple will struggle a little bit next year. Gives the new coach some time with whoever wins the QB job. He leaves Temple with a pretty incredible standard for the new coach to live up to....

 

[LafayetteBear]

I'm pretty certain that Rhule is getting himself PAID. Money is about the only thing that would make the Baylor job attractive. It is in Waco, the school is about to gall under the sanctions banhammer, and they have one recruit to show for the last two recruiting seasons. They are gonna stink for several years even if Rhule does a bang up job.

Cal fans are in mourning that Sonny Dykes did not get this job.

 

[psuro]

i thought Baylor had the SMU coach in its pockets. Does Rhule have ties to Texas football?

Texas is full of recruits. Plus, give him 5 years and Baylor will be Oklahomas major threat in the Conference.

 

[demlion]

Sure is funny how schools in trouble (Miami, Baylor) have a way of picking Joe's former players to be HC.

 

[RTLH]

WIP and Fox Sports reporting Matt Ruhle to Baylor.

I did post last week about his tenure ending at Temple as the big boys would be coming after him.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Huh. Interesting choice of destination for him. I guess it's better than the likes of Purdue and has some recent history of success.

It really comes down to how much they offered him per year, especially the "guaranteed" amount, and how many year's the Contract is Guaranteed for....(i.e., what is his "buyout" if they did decide to part ways). Given Baylor's recent success and much higher profile, I would imagine that they are offering him a pretty lucrative contract with a decently long "guarantee" (i.e., buyout). Additionally, Ruhle has shown that he is pretty adept at rebuilding a program with a "fractional roster" from a very well-respected predecessor(s) - i.e., both Golden and Addazzio at Temple) -- IOW, he's shown the ability to recruit in such a way that he can use the base roster at Baylor and build on it "selectively and strategically" to get them back to the top of the B12 (i.e., his ability to "strategically" recruit in re-building a program is pretty well proven at Temple). Hard to see how this would be a "bad move" for Ruhle given what they are likely paying him to re-build the program which is only 1-Year removed from being one of the best programs in B12....

ha! thought that too. Baylor cannot afford to have their HC choice flame out for any kind of off the field blow up. Quality guy...good choice for the Bears.

Also, we have a history of sending guys to Baylor!

 

[Nittanyplayer#12]

Best of luck to him.

Good for him but now I'm kind of worried that Temple comes sniffing around State College.
Hey Temple people there is a really good OC in the western part of the state that works for a complete psycho.
Give him a call.

 

[Obliviax]

Also, in coaching news, it is being reported that JoeMo interviewed for Purdue head coach the week he was in Indy leading up to the B1G championship game. I feel like, if he stays one more year, he'll get a big time job. But he may be closer to leaving than I thought. Honestly, he'd be a great fit for Oregon.

Miami didn't hire Golden due to any scandal issues - - - they hired him because Randy Shannon couldn't win enough games

At the time Golden was hired, Miami's "reputation" and status with the NCAA was the best it had been in 25 years.......
It's "reputation" with the fan base - which only cared about wins (and not the fact that Shannon had really cleaned up the program - and had some of the highest grad rates, APRs etc in the country) was the problem

It was not until almost a year after Golden was hired that the Shapiro stuff hit (and none of that stuff - even in retrospect - touched on Shannon. Shannon had told Shapiro, and guys like him, to pound sand - - - maybe (probably?) one of the reasons he didn't win enough to keep his job)

 

[dawgduice]

I thought the same thing. Clean up this program, only not really!

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

This should be interesting. The thugs within that program are about to get an awakening.

NOT! How I remember it, but to each his own. He was hired to clean up their awful reputation PLUS win. All want a PSU but most get a, well we all know.

 

[psuro]

So, I guess Golden can leave the Detroit Lions and come back to Temple?

 

[lionlurker]

Pitt guys predictably chortling that JoMo now is headed to Temple.

I doubt he would leave after one year, but would be a solid option for Temple. Personally, I expect him to go that route in the next year or two, but to a power 5 team like an ACC team (not Pitt). NC State?? Boston College???

From Wikipedia: "In press conference remarks upon his hiring on December 13, 2010, Golden emphasized the importance of the University of Miami football legacy. "It's the most recognizable brand in college football," he said. "I go back to the former players that are here, the five national championships, 20 national award winners, countless All-Americans, incredible tradition. It's a dream job."[8] Golden signed a five-year contract at an undisclosed salary on December 14, 2010. However, due to NCAA rules, Golden did not coach the football team in Miami's bowl game against Notre Dame but instead focused on recruiting players for 2011.[9][10] Despite fielding teams with multiple future NFL draft picks, Golden was unable to defeat Florida State, his in state rival, in 5 attempts.[11] Golden began his tenure hampered by probation from a previous booster scandal, and self-imposed bowl bans during Golden’s first two years with the program.[12]

Yeah I am SURE nobody At the U had any idea whatsoever that their entire FB program was corrupt.

 

[sammyk]

Good hire for Baylor the guy won 20 games in two years at Temple, TEMPLE

Whatever

If you don't know the timeline and sequence of events.......any scenario will do.

 

[bwifan]

Can anyone block any 215 numbers from dialing to JoeMo's office???

Not sure why you need to be a A$$hole about it but...

Joe Moorhead Reportedly Interviewed For Purdue Job

the article sources a guy who is a writer that follows Purdue...if you dig deeper, he says he was told by an official at Purdue.

 

[sammyk]

Temple has turned into a half way decent job. The AAC is a solid conference arguably the best non power 5 conference and many think that the AAC might move up to that status. Temple is close to so many D-1 caliber recruits in NJ, Eastern PA, Maryland, Northern VA and even if they do not get the best talent in those areas there is still enough there to get good players . If the right coach comes along Temple can become a 8-10 win club every year, so I see a lot of interest there.

 

[jabba2]

Temple isnt Purdue. Moorhead would be dealing with a rebuild of sorts at Temple and in a non P5 conference. But if he wants a PA head job I suppose Temple is one of them.Just not a very good one.

OK..... I stand corrected......I was WRONG......mea culpa

You and Pete Diprimio

 

[PennStateNate]

What happened to Zack Morris?

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Pitt guys predictably chortling that JoMo now is headed to Temple.

Guys on Sirius XM Radio too...

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

OK..... I stand corrected......I was WRONG......mea culpa

So you have it "on authority" that JoeMo didn't interview at PU? If you're so adamant that Obli is incorrect, show us what evidence you have to support your position.

A leopard never changes its spots.
Miami was, is and always will be a renegade program.
Golden was never a fit there. Golden to Miami was Joe Paterno. Joe Paterno and the Paterno way was everything Miami was against.

I know whats gone on recently at Baylor but do not know if they have the 30 year renegade reputation of Miami.

 

[TenerHallTerror]

always loved Matt. my only criticism was that he never pointed out to the idiot Temple fans who said crappy things about Penn State/Joe that HE played for Joe and still admires him

Actually he voiced his support more than enough and his job isn't to play Joe police to every idiot not carrying a Joe statue.

1 - Uh.......I've already "mea culpa"ed. (ya' gotta' keep up ).
Obviously Obli DID get that story from someone. I don't know who this guy is, but it appears he is some level of PU beat-writer - - - or some such thing.

2 - (and this is tooooooo good)
Are you asking me to "prove a negative"?
Haven't we had enough of that from the GTASCA boys over the last.....oh.....FIVE F&CKING YEARS?
