Matt Rhule has seen fans sour on defensive coordinator Phil Snow before, here's why he's not worried

When Baylor coach Matt Rhule was coaching at Temple, the Owls went 2-10 during his first season as head coach. Over the course of the season, he discovered a "Fire Phil Snow" page on Facebook, a page dedicated to oust his then-defensive coordinator.

By year two, Rhule said he was asking for money to try and keep Snow on staff because "everybody wanted to hire him."

Rhule expects a similar year two jump for the Baylor defense under Snow this year.

"I think we have a lot of good players," Rhule said. "It's just are they going to step up to that level of expertise where they're not just doing their job anymore, they're doing their job and ripping the ball out.
