Matt Rhule story

My son played football at a small Texas school. I took him to a Baylor football camp. He was the smallest D-lineman there, and he was consistently beaten in drills. But he kept at it, and he got better.

While running a drill against a huge O-lineman, my son’s cleat blew out. The whole side of his shoe tore, and his foot fell out. Instead of sitting out, he ran to the trainer and had them tape his cleat on his foot. He ran back to the drill and jumped back in.

Rhule was standing there, and he blew the whistle and called everyone up. He brought my son up in front of everyone and said, “This is the smallest kid out here. He hasn’t won a drill yet. But he’s got more heart than anyone out here. This is what football is all about!”

I’ll never forget that. I was so impressed by the entire camp. It was the most well run, professional camp I’ve ever seen. Matt Rhule had a presence, and was thoroughly impressive.

If we have a chance to get Rhule, I’m all in. Sorry for the long post.
