We will see. I have no idea if he'll do well or not but Matt Rhule wasn't seen as a home run hire either and three years later everyone here was basically begging him to leave Baylor.
This guy might do great, and he might flop. Time will tell.
I don’t know anything about the new Baylor coach other than what his previous job was, but I’ll say that I watched Rhule’s Temple teams on ESPN mid-week games a couple times and I was very impressed with them. I figured he was a solid hire.
I still think he was slightly overrated. That Baylor team was solid but nowhere near as good as their record, not that I’m saying anything groundbreaking here. That being said, I guess that’s a sign of good coaching (having a team that finds ways to win close games you probably shouldn’t win).
Either way, I wasn’t worried about him staying.
