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.

    • If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.
    • Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
    • Yall... stop taking a sample size and projecting a role player into a permanent starter cuz he had a decent year after what, 5? Come on
