Nah. He signed a set for life contract and if we fire him he'll have a decent college job pretty quickly. It's not like he left a powerhouse college job to take this gig. He'd likely land an upgrade from that Baylor job.

That's us Panthers fans sitting there like "WTF??? Did that asshole just poo all over us?"

Cam was bad today. Unfortunately, there was a very long list of Panthers who were bad today. This ship is rudderless.

Honestly I have no clue and I don't give a fug. $50M is less than half a percent of Tepper's net worth.

The other ranked win (vs. #20 Navy) was a similar story. Overall yardage was close, but Navy turned it over 3 times to Temple's 0. So in Rhule's two ranked wins, the turnover margin was +8.

Beating unranked teams because he sure did lose to the ranked ones like clockwork.

I don't want Rhule and company picking our next QB. They've already thrown enough resources down the drain on QBs who have failed spectacularly. But yes, if he's retained I do expect either a 1st round QB or a huge splash trade for a QB. And that fuging terrifies me. I just want Rhule and company gone at this point. Brady not being retained next year seems obvious, but what decent OC with other options is going to sign on to work for a coach who's seat will be as hot as any in the NFL next year?

Great hire by USC and honestly a smart move by Riley. The PAC-12 is just so much weaker than the SEC. Seems like he could easily recreate what he built at OU there while OU is going to be just another team in the SEC.

One of my concerns about Rhule (beyond his abysmal record against ranked college teams) was his nearly complete lack of NFL experience and thus likely serious lack of NFL contacts. It's not like Temple and Baylor had NFL coaches flocking to scout talent. When he assembled a staff reflecting that, it was like uh oh.

Yep. Hindsight being 20/20, Rhule's lack of success against ranked teams in college wasn't a fluke. He beat up on bad teams at the college level. There are no "bad" teams at the NFL level. The worst teams at the NFL level are basically right outside the rankings at the college level since there are 25 teams ranked in college and only 32 total NFL teams. And Brady? Yeah, turns out he just walked into probably the most talented offensive college roster of all time and anyone bringing a modern offense into the mix there would've created video game results since the previous system they were running was last seen when football was played in leather helmets.

The only hope Rhule can give me at this point is getting himself fired. I'm over this guy.

Sadly, this is the truth. We've only had 7 double digit win seasons. 7 out of 27.

Carroll looks great for his age but he's 70 years old. I very seriously doubt he'd want to start over somewhere else. To put that into perspective, he's 11 years older than George Seifert was when we hired him.

Rhule has never been on the hot seat as a head coach either. That can change things.

We couldn't block anything. We consistently ran the ball into fronts with 9 guys on the LOS. When we did get passes off about half of them were tipped at the LOS from the pressure. We made Tua look like prime Drew Brees and their D look like the '85 Bears. We would literally lose to the winless Lions at this point.

The offense was fine last week and they got dominated by a mediocre offense. The Dolphins are an average at best passing offense and we made Tua look like a prime Brady... just like we did Heinicke last week.

You need to look bigger picture. We've been corking the drain ever since Tepper bought this team and the speed of the swirling is getting faster. I just want to know what's on the other side of the flushing. I'm afraid it's the sewer.

God our tax system is so fuging broken.

Defense is set? You watched the last two games?

There has always been clear progression though. We're watching regression.

We were right about Teddy too.

My Giants buddy texted me during the game and thanked us for hiring Rhule away from them. I think it was on that 4th and 34 from the goalline.

I raised the question marks when we hired him. Like, wait a minute... this guy is something like 2-17 against ranked NCAA opposition. That seems problematic.

How are we supposed to be rebuilding when we've traded damn near our entire draft next year?
