I told a friend of mine towards the end of the season that I just think he’s in the NFL to A) get paid and B) set himself up for the next really big NCAA opening. If I remember correctly he wasn’t that interested in coaching in the NFL until Tepper and Marty pulled into his driveway and handed him 70 million dollars.

I certainly don’t believe he will coach out his contract.  He appears burned out and has for months now.

His contract at Baylor was 62 million. 

This was almost a lateral move money wise.

No his contract at Baylor was 4.1 million per year. He would have had a 17 year contract for it to be lateral. The Panthers gave Rhule a 62 million dollar deal and had a 6 million buy out they had to pay Baylor. Which is about 8.8 million per year.

Finally was able to listen to the pressor.   Agree..Rhule looks like hell.  However...I also did note....

Rhule and Fit seemed to be very comfortable with each other. 

Rhule did a good job evading the question about comparing Fit  and Marty.

Fit sounds confident.  He sounds confident in their board and their plans. I am going to trust this guy.

I told him, 'This is your dream. You want to be in the NFL. These are people that I know you will jive with. You'll do great things

Fair enough. But that was probably before the pressure of having to live up to David Tepper’s 70 million dollar expectations.
 

Also article sounds like her idea not his.

Rhule said many times that he wanted to coach at the top level.  This is his dream job.  I think too many of you are over analyzing him.  This is his first real offseason where traveling and interviews (much better than Covid 2020).  Just like rookies in their initial season it takes some getting used to.

Did you catch the Myles Hartsfield "starting" reference?  (I think he was the nickel at the end of the season).  That is significant if he can hold the job.  Prolly why we let Elder go.

I like Hartsfield.  He is more versatile than Corn E. It was good to Corn step up his game last year though.

The quote I found interesting was Rhule talking about being the first Coach to offer K. Pitts a scholarship. If Pitts slips to #8 (I know its only a dream) then he is definitely the pick!

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
