Pretty sure the NFL owners were forcing him to sell. Not just sell, but sell to Tepper. JR had clearly fallen out of favor since Snyder has done as bad or worse and there have been no cries from within the NFL to force him to sell. LOL @ JR. He always out the NFL as a whole above his own team and they still ultimately turned on him.

Not go to any games. Not watch any games. Cease to GAF as long as Rhule is here. Just watch good NFL matchups. Basically, go back to pre-Peppers draft pick mode.

I'm afraid Tepper might just be realizing he doesn't know WTF he's doing so he'd rather stand pat and massage his ego rather than pull the trigger and blow it all up just too fug it up again.

He has brass balls though. Remember? Yeah, neither does he or anyone else. I guess Matt Rhule has those on his desk now.

Always planned to go until I spent more time in CH. Great place to spend an occasional weekend. Too big for me to want to spend four years of my life though. Then I got scholarship offers elsewhere and none from UNC and made a business decision. Still a fan. Same as how I've been a fan of the Panthers for nearly 20 years and yet you'd have to pay me NFL money to live in Charlotte.

Why? Because a billionaire decided to start up a football business venture nearby? Nah.

I agree. We've all seen Joe stumble haphazardly through practices and ask endless idiotic questions in pressers, but good for him on this one. Exposing the embarrassments of a billionaire that owns the team you make a living covering when no one else will is walking a dangerous line in terms of your career. Good for Joe.

With Urban Meyer gone, we are now the new biggest dumpster fire in the NFL. I hope Tepper realizes that we're going to be a big media focus next year for all the wrong reasons if he sticks with Rhule.

If Rhule is still here I really hope we don't.

Bill Cowher?

You aren't seeing something others are missing. You have the fan version of Stockholm Syndrome.

This was me before we drafted Peppers. I had casual interest in the Panthers as the local team but there was never anything to make me take the leap into full fledged fandom until we drafted Peppers out of UNC. Prior to that I was just a general NFL fan with favorite players more so than favorite teams and I'd basically just tune into the best game on at the time.

Oof. It's true and it hurts.

Yep. Nothing wrong with "just" being a great college coach. It's just that the skill sets to be a great college coach and a great NFL coach are pretty different so the translations are far from perfect. NFL coaching is Xs and Os all day everyday. It's a lot less about player development and much more about scheming, play calling, and refining minute details. College coaching primarily recruiting. It's not the Xs and Os, it's the Jimmies and the Joes. Don't get me wrong, you still need some coaching to win championships but you can build a good college program simply through recruiting and having some decent coordinators under you.

The guy has lied through his teeth over and over again with that same dumbass smirk. He's nothing more than a corner lot buy here pay here used car salesman who just lucked into a far better paying line of work.

I'm leaning more and more toward being done with the Panthers if Rhule is brought back. I mean DONE done. I've already watched my last Rhule coached Panthers game a couple weeks ago but bringing Rhule back for another year just shows me that Tepper is an insurmountable problem.

Yikes. If true, this is BAD. If Tepper really feels this way and is STILL bringing Rhule back, it's over y'all. This owner doesn't care enough about winning to let it eat into his bottom line.

Strong like Niagara. $0.00 per month.

There's plenty of cheap high quality streams out there.

The media is so lazy. 90% of their "analysis" is just looking at boxscores.

I... uh... I doubt that's gonna be here.

If I'm DJ I'm refusing to re-sign until there's clarification on our coaching and QB situations.

Tired of seeing this team lose the meaningful games only to win a meaningless late season game that dies nothing but shoot our draft position in the dick.

Draft. Being happy playing spoiler to better teams at the expense of the betterment of our future draft capital is ultimate loser mentality.
