I don't know whether the hire is good or not.

I hope he is, because otherwise it's a bad sign for our owner's football acumen.

Then why are you itt trying to poo on the contract calling it steep if we’ve established that the money 1) doesn’t effect the fans OR the panthers and 2) doesn’t make him a good or bad coach based off the money if you have no opinion on whether it’s a good hire or not. 
 

Be a man and have an opinion or don’t post just for the sake of posting.

Would you like to apply the net worth of Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder or Jim Haslam as evidence that they make smart football decisions?

Whether or not he's a good coach does.

Do you consider the amount of money given to our Head Coach a “football decision”? If so, how? If not, then you might as well be panicking over decisions like whether he orders pizza with or without mushrooms.

You know what is awesome on pizza? Meatballs. Find a joint that knows how to do meatballs on a pizza. Its an art. Can't be too big or it messes everything up. Too small and thats just sausage...

It’s pretty crazy we went from an owner that let John Fox play out a lame duck year because he didn’t wanna pay two coaches to a guy who is the absolute richest owner in the league and drops 70 million like it’s nothing. Regardless of how anything turns out you can’t say the dude won’t go all in to try to make the Panthers great. 

Exactly. He may make some mistakes, and hell, Rhule may be one, who knows? But the Panthers won’t be less competitive because their owner is cheap, that’s for sure. We should be happy knowing that.

He is correct, it beyond broken all the first time coaching contracts. Say all you want about "no salary cap for coaches, its Teppers money, etc" . This contract nuked the current system. 

Lastly it was for a guy that just become a HC starting in 2013........ AND won at big time schools Temple and Baylor.... David Cutcliffe won at Duke and has waaay more pro-connections, hes a "better" choice in some veins and I would not want him as HC. 

I’m going to say it...I’ve no idea what you’re saying here beyond the money aspect of it.

Who gives a fug if we broke the current coaches contract system. Tepper can afford it. I don’t give two shits of Mara of the Giants can’t afford that without selling his team. He can go cry with his 2nd choice.

Again, no issue whether or not he can afford it.

The concern would be that maybe he doesn't know what he's doing.

I hate this narrative that we overpaid for our new coach since he has almost no nfl experience. Either he is an nfl coach or he isn't. Once you decide he is you pay him the market rate. This isn't used car shopping...

What Tepper did was put the coaching world on notice.  You don't think every coach worth his salt didn't take notice and wouldn't line up to get a piece of that?  Even if Rhule ultimately flops you can bet the farm Teppers phone will be blowing up by the best coaching candidates in the league.  Even current NFL coaches may reconsider signing extensions just to get a shot at this job.  Win/win baby.

Tepper Aint playing around

 

He just showed the rest of the league his big brass balls

It's a huge risk what he's doing. With the potential to set us back years. Did I also mention Marty Hurney is still our GM as well.

Which part is the huge risk?

Is the risk any more huge than if he hired another coach to a five year $4 mill per contract?

If Rhule is a dumpster fire, do you think Tepper will hang on to him longer because of the contract?

I certainly don’t. Hiring any new head coach will bring inherent risk. Maybe Rhule will flame out, maybe he’ll be the next John Harbaugh. 

The goal is sustained success, something this franchise has never had. I guess change is scary to some people.

One thing is for sure, the Panthers are better off long term without Ron Rivera as head coach.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
