Pretty sure there’s a better chance of Meyer going than Rhule. Rhule doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would start something without finishing it.

Matt Rhule signed an extension to coach Baylor through 2028….4 months later he signed a deal with the Panthers

Matt Rhule will do what is best for Matt Rhule.  That ain’t hate either.   That just the reality of it.  

If he bails on Carolina it would mean he didn’t have confidence in where things would be headed for him here.  Because a USC move wouldn’t be about pay in the near future.

I don’t see him jumping ship now though. There is no way he leaves/Tepper let’s him leave. This isn’t college. There’s nobody left to run the team if he leaves either, snow will piggy back him, Brady would probably be HC with a nonexistent coaching staff. Tepper, by way of his business, doesn’t let those kind of implosions happen. 
 

All I see if a college talking head spewing bullshit way out of his league. 
 

After the season if we have a shitty season than idk. Rhule is an East coast guy though. There’s nothing that says he’d want to go to USC besides the fact he’d be handed the keys of a college Lamborghini.

It's always seemed like he wanted to be an NFL guy, and college was just a means to an end. He's not been bad here. He took a team that was supposed to be absolute dog poo and made them scrappy/competitive right away. He's already shown a great talent for developing players and it seems like the team is trending in the right direction. He also just picked up his family and moved them from Texas to North Carolina, he has young kids and I can't imagine that would be a desirable thing to do again.

The only thing that would give me pause is how his demeanor has changed since he's been here. On day one he was upbeat and positive, now he seems tired and annoyed most of the time.

Yeah, that was just facts in response to someone saying Matt Rhule doesn’t seem like the type to start something and leave. 

so again, Matt Rhule signed a deal to coach Baylor until 2028.  4 months later he signed a deal with the Panthers.  Matt Rhule will do  what is best for Matt Rhule.  It’s what people do.  

I don’t think the USC job would be better for him right now.  So I don’t see him leaving.  But he could hit a window after this year….where he realizes what he does works better at the college ranks and dips before he establishes himself as a meh NFL coach.

it was during a segment on College Gameday...they were talking about who would be a good fit for the Trojans (😏) and Kirk said Rhule was the kind of coach who would relate to the young players, and was the kind of coach that had the characteristics and personality for that particular job.

He Matt and a couple of other guys were who they should be focusing on because of the kind of coaches they are.

Love the double-entendre there.

Can't see it happening. Seems to me that Rhule wanted to be an NFL HC but wanted the right situation where he basically had full control.  Well, that's what he got. If he jumped ship barely over a year after getting that he'll probably never get it again. College opportunities will still be there if he fails at the NFL level. Maybe not USC level opportunities, but good opportunities none the less.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
