Mr. Scot

The sad truth is that Matt Rhule doesn't actually have to be good at his job in order to keep it. He just has to be able to fool David Tepper into thinking that he's good. And if we've learned anything from Marty Hurney, Ron Rivera and Rhule, it's that David Tepper can very easily be fooled.

The NFL week isn't officially over until after tonight. The interview window officially opens at 8am tomorrow morning

I watched the 2001 season, 2010season , the Jerry Richardson scandal and numerous other bad seasons and events. In all that time, I'm not sure I've ever seen the Panthers fanbase as absolutely downright hostile to the team as they are now. Matt Rhule is as despised a figure as just about any in Panthers history, and that contempt is reflecting on David Tepper and the team in general to a huge degree.

Reid's coaching tree is highly inconsistent. As far as cover ups, hate to say it but there might also be some of that in Kansas City. Likeable as Andy Reid may be, his own sons aren't exactly angels.

Fox frequently didn't give a sh-t. Rhule genuinely tries, but hasn't got a clue. And given that he's never really had to "develop" anybody past four years, that's probably not a surprise.

Sadly, I agree.

With Matt Rhule coaching? Yeah, I'd bet on the older teams. Rhule and his staff are just that bad.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Pretty much, especially the awful coaching.

I've seen a lot of different projections. If I had to guess, besides the two that already have, two...maybe three more.

It has occurred to me that we only have ryhules word on this. (not that I think he's outright lying or anything, but still...)

Thompson out certainly weakens the defense. Hoskins and Nixon both down means the DT rotation is going to be thin. Ditto with both Burns and Haynes out at DE.

I'm actually 6'3. You just can't tell

Remember when Rhule said Ian Thomas was having a great offseason?

This with a playcaller who's a runningback coach

"Crime" actually plays a role in the story given that Bieniemy has a not insignificant arrest record, including at least one that included a charge of violence against a woman. That's definitely something teams are gonna consider in this day and age.

True The one good thing I see is that Rhule did not get assurance from Tepper that he'd be back next season. There seems to be at least a possibility that Tepper could be weighing options.

Gilbride is the son of Kevin Gilbride Sr, the Giants OC when Rhule was there (also infamous for being the uy Buddy Ryan slugged on the sideline). Rhule was said to have wanted him for the TE coaching job before hiring Angelichio. Don't remember why he didn't get him. Foley was Rhule's Special Teams Coach at Baylor.

Which makes you look dumber? Firing the guy you never should have hired in the first place early or hanging on to him for another year of terrible football just to protect your ego?

Tom Pelissero says Brian Burns is one of them.

Double secret film...

I took his reposting it as confirmation. I've seen one or two other sources say the same thing. Mind you, a lot of places don't update their info until the week is completely over. The Saints play tonight and their result affects our SOS.

Not directly related, but kinda... The article is subscription only but the headline under the pic reads very true.
