This is Rhule throwing a player under the bus. If he cost us touchdowns in 3 games why in the hell was he still playing by game 3? Do we beat USC if he is on the bench? Who knows, but our chances would have been better. The decision to play him is on Rhule. And what is Rhule implying here? That Hill lied to them about how bad his injury still was? But once again, if that was the case it should have been immediately evident to any coach with eyes that the dude was still compromised.
The more I listen to Rhule the more I hear the voice of a man who knows he is a dead man walking. That his team sucks and he knows it sucks. Holgorsen is a band aid. A PR move to buy time. He may not even be back next year.
Rhule is putting together a good recruiting class. But once again, so what? We have seen this movie and heard this bullshit before. We win the off season and fans see a decent recruiting class and all of a sudden hope is in the air. But then the season starts and reality takes over. Other than Holgorsen all of the coaching staff remains. And if they are all back next year expect more of the same.
The only glimmer of hope I see is if Holgorsen stays and many offensive assistants are shit canned. Holgorsen could then hire a competent staff.
If that happens will we see an air raid offense? Shit I hope not. But if it works I will suddenly become its biggest booster.
