How tough times at Temple and Baylor made Matt Rhule the coach he is today - Panthers.com

Rhule has proven that his process leads to victories.

“It’s about putting a process in place that guarantees you are going to be successful in the long run,” he said, “and having the guts, having the toughness to stick to it in good times and bad.”

Follow his lead, and you’ll have a lot of fun along the way.

As we learned in this story from Yahoo's Pete Thamel, this is a guy who would splash coffee on his face to fire up his Temple defensive linemen at the end of meetings.

“Full disclosure, the coffee had cooled down quite a bit,” Rhule said with a laugh.

Another time at Temple, he decorated the offensive meeting room like a nightclub and called it “Club 72” after the Owls rushed for a measly 72 yards against Kent State. They responded with a 55-point outburst the next week.

Later in his tenure, he put on pads and a helmet and took on defensive players in a one-on-one hitting drill to prepare for a game.

OK, maybe he is a little crazy.

“Letting the guys have a chance to hit me – it maybe wasn’t fun for me, but it was a cool moment for them,” Rhule said. “I don’t take myself too seriously.

“You go through the ebbs and flows of a season and different things come up. I just think it is important as a coach to show the guys that you’re in it with them. And it’s also important to laugh at yourself sometimes.”
