Rhule might equal Rhebuild


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Word was Rhule wanted pretty significant control if he was hired. Obviously Tepper agreed to that.

And what's he known for?

Rebuilding bad programs from the ground up.

This definitely isn't a "win now" hire. It looks more like a "strap in for the long haul" type of choice. Tepper had expressed before the process even started that it might take "a period of losing" in order to create a perennial winner. He also acknowledged that it takes college coaches time to adjust to the NFL. Seeing as Rhule was given a seven year contract, it sounds like he's willing to give him significant time.

Basically, if you're expecting a quick turnaround, you might not wanna hold your breath.

Can someone help come up with a list of NFL players who were coached by Rhule at either Temple or Baylor and see if there are any free agents or guys worth getting? Makes me wonder how he’s gonna build the team/culture. Also curious how many guys panned out from his programs.

To quote our old buddy Foxy, it is what it is...

Or to quote early Ron.... it is what it is is no more...

Regardless, it is obvious a culture change was needed in the worst kind of way.

I have zero expectations for next season.

I am excited by the Rhule hire

I love the Panthers, and as much as I hate the idea of another 2010, I'm also a realist who objectively sees a roster with major holes.  

I would love to be able to compete without a rebuild next year, but I'm mentally prepared for that possibility.

His Wikipedia page has a list.

The majority of them aren't names you'd easily recognize.

Time will tell. What the Panthers desperately needed was a change in philosophy and culture. Go up by 14 points and play conservative football. Unprepared and sluggish after a bye. Passing out vet days like Oprah. Lack of accountability and tailoring our game plan to expose opponent weaknesses. I am all for getting rid of coaches and players that are unwilling to adapt.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
