Well that didn't take long. He'll probably end up at Bama before the playoff bowl game.

Rhule wanted Brady to emphasize the run game more, but Joe B didn't listen.

I thought we declared him a genius.
Yeah - Gauss, Einstein, Feynman, Pauling, Rhule.

Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, CEH, and a good OL = pass game coordinator looked better than what he was.

Not saying he wasn't a part of the success, but...

For sure. And those guys made Orgeron look pretty damn good too. Not saying that Brady isn't good/won't be good but anointing him the next offensive guru after one great season was kind of silly.

kind of a screw job by Carolina though. They could have fired him a few weeks ago so he had more college job options.

PS. The shine is coming off the Matt Rhule star a bit too.

Big time dulling of Rhule. In year 2, he looks over matched and this smacks of throwing off coordinators to save your butt.

Expect Carolina to be major players for a veteran star QB this off-season. Rhule needs a QB and then we’ll know.

I've heard some whispers that Rhule doesn't love the NFL. Wouldn't be a huge surprise if he is not with Carolina after this/next season.

Rumor is Rhule did Brady a favor while college jobs are open.

you would look over matched too if your QB was Sam Darnold.
That’s my point. You can’t fully evaluate Rhule until he has a competent QB. Carolina will go all in this off-season to get him one.

But it’s a results business and Rhule’s results haven’t been great in two years. Next year is likely when we’ll know how he’ll be judged in Carolina.

So why did Burrow not have much success before the magical year?

He led them to a 10-3 season. They lost at Florida, to playoff runner up Bama, and to A&M in 7OT.

That's not successful?

As for Brady, he wasn't going to replicate the LSU title run in the NFL. Even the most "magical" season of the past 20 years ended in a Super Bowl loss by the more famous QB Brady.

He would have been better off trying it in college. Even then, outside of Bama or OSU, the odds of finding a similarly talented roster are slim and none.

He went from 58 to 76% completions, 7.9 to 12.5 YPA and 16/5 to 60/6 TD/Int in the year Brady was there. No improvement whatsoever.

Steve Ensminger was the OC in his second year.
Thanks. Here's the article I remember with a excerpt first:

"Yet none of it would be possible without the coaching and guidance of Brady and Ensminger. Brady spoke with the Advocate in December about what the relationship is like in-game between Ensminger and himself.

"I think game-to-game it’s different. I think a lot of it has to do with the game plan standpoint. Steve’s the offensive coordinator. Steve’s the play-caller," Brady said. "It’s just my job up there to, if I have any ideas, for him to take them and run with it if he wants. If not, keep doing what he’s doing and we’ve had a lot of success this year with Steve being a great play-caller. There’ll be times in games where he’ll say, ‘Hey look, you’ve got it.’ Or, ‘Hey, whatever you want to do here, you’ve got it.’ I think every coach is always ready, if their time comes, that they need to call a play. So, I just sit up there, and if there’s an opportunity that I have to give some advice or what I’m seeing or my thoughts — especially from the passing game standpoint — I’ll give it. Outside of that, it’s Steve’s show, and I’m just rolling with it."

Ensminger and Brady became the first pair of coaches to win the Offensive Coordinator of the Year Award as it previously only went to one offensive coordinator."
