Any and everything associated with Matt Rhule needs to be vanquished and removed so far and from the Panthers that his name will only be the distant memory of a plan gone bad.

There's still a few of Rhule's players around but I like what Teppers got cooking.

Why was he still around? Did they forget he was still in the building?

I was about to ask the same question.

I don’t think the Wilson story is true. He’s stuck with Wilson for 3 years at a minimum. You don’t take the job if you can’t work with Wilson.

His ego is larger than Wilson's. He is arrogant enough to think he can fix him enough to win with him.  Also Denver is a much better organization than Arizona.  Payton makes bank either way.

I was thinking more like this..

It is both good management practice and good leadership.  Every competent manager should be identifying and training his own replacement.

Absolutely, we all do in the business world. In football however it's not been a common practice.

Matt Corral's had one offseason.

Trask is going into his third year and still struggling to even learn the system.

Then Sam Darnold says hello.

Unless you already have somebody that's been at least somewhat groomed for that role, that's a pretty difficult thing to do in one year.

It is. That is why I am concerned about how they are going to go about doing this. It will be an interesting little experiment to say the least. 

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Meanwhile over in Tampa...

 

Matt Corral says hello.

He didn't get the job. It's time to move on.

If, as everybody suspects will happen, Evero gets a head coaching job next season, Bradley could conceivably be back in play (depending on what happens in Indy).

If Evero is true to the direction he was given his replacement will already be on the team. Remember, one of his directives was to hire and train his successor as part of his staff. I think Reich and the soon to be OC will be given the same orders. I like the concept of doing that, as they should.  How practical it will be is yet to be determined. 

Daniel Jeremiah just listed his top 50 players in the upcoming draft. He has 1 qb in the top 10. Young is rated the #4 player in the draft. He has Stroud, Levis and AR at 12, 13 and 14 respectively.  

Over paid like every other Marty Hurney extension he ever did. He didn't pay them based on past production he paid them by what he thought they would do in the future. It never worked out. He was an idiot.

Man, I loved Reddick.  He made some great plays for us.  The Panthers made other choices in who to pay, whether it was Rhule or Fitterer at the end of the day.  Reddick is a great pass rusher and impact player, but as we've seen, he wasn't truly a full time player in that he had to come out.  Is it a quibble?  Probably, but Frankie has been more than fine.  He's not the pass rusher that Reddick is, but he's really coming into his own as a player and I'm thrilled that we have Luvu.

Would Reddick have been as impactful this past season?  Considering we switched from our hybrid approach to more of a standard 4-3 when Wilks took over - I'm not totally sure.  I'm happy for him.

He was a pass rusher only. He could not cover a TE or RB out of the backfield. That is Burns problem as well. In a 3-4 the LBs have to be able to cover as well and those 2 cannot.  They can only do one thing, rush the passer.

He signed a 5 year contract.

Good. I hope it blows up in spectacular fashion.

He'd probably make a good OC, to be honest. He understands offensive plays backwards, forwards, by the QB calls, the gestures of the opposing coaches, the sweat on the WRs...

 

Knowing Luke you're probably right.

I can see why his interview with Tepper went nowhere.  

13 minutes ago, bythenbrs said:

Where do you ‘hide’ him until he can take that big step or, do you think he is ready now?  I agree he will make a great DC, just not sure the path within the Panthers that takes him there.

Would be a dream to have Evero for a couple years and then elevate Luke to DC, if he is ready at that point.

I don't think he wants to coach.  If he did I would certainly give him a shot. But the great ones never seem to be able to coach their position.  I think their expectations are so high that nobody can live up to them.

2 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

I didn't, but I believe you.

Sure did his best to screw over Ejiro Evero 

That guy is out there. He was all over the place. It was as if it was an improvised, last minute thing.

JMO

Staff Id like to see join the staff:

OC: Brian Johnson

QB: Kevin Patullo

DB: Kris Richard

CB: Marquand Manuel

Asst. LB: Luke Kuechly

Luke, as good as he is, would be a terrible LB coach.  You can't teach natural abilities.  I think he would be one hell of a DC though.
