I am gladly eating crow on this because I was not sold on Coach Rhule due to:

1) Comes from lower tier college programs, never won anything at either of them and thought his ra ra speech would not translate to the NFL

2) Wasn't sold on his coaching staff, two unknown coordinators with limited to no NFL experience, thought Snow as a guy who the game passed him by

3) Didn't like how he handled Cam, thought to myself how could he run out of town an NFL MVP and not give him a season to prove

4) Didn't believe in all his analytics stuff, thought this guy was a copy of Chip Kelly and his "system"

 

Well, I am here to say I am wrong. I think Matt Rhule may end of being the best coach in Panthers history. In addition, I give credit to Tepper, it appears he went "The Steelers Way" in finding his version of a young Bill Cowher who will coach this team for 10-15 years.

I think we are in the honeymoon phase with Matt Rhule.  

History with Carolina coaches says not to judge a HC off that.  They have all seemed great minus Seifert in the honeymoon window.   

and we are early in the honeymoon window.  So much is still unknown about year 2.

His first season I had zero expectation, thought the defense would be beyond horrible. Within a few games I started wondering if we could possibly improve and sneak into the playoffs or at least knock on the door. 

His second season I had the expectations to win 9 or 10 games at best. Thought the D could possibly sneak in the top 10, top 15 at the very least. Now I honestly wonder if we could make it to the playoffs....could we win it all?

In short. YES.

I actually go out of my way to listen to his pressers that Panthers.com puts on YouTube. He is just dripping with charisma and has a very clear vision. It's obvious that the team is following him and trusts that he's showing them a better way. Even watching Dante Jackson talk about overcoming Jaycee Horn's injury has demonstrated how much Dante has matured in the past few seasons and clearly has not only bought into the process but he's benefitting from the process. Lastly, I don't think it can go unmentioned that this starts with Tepper. This man had his own vision and found the right guy to bring in and implement who Tepper wanted the Panthers to become...and I chuckle to myself anytime I think about Rivera in his dwindling days here trying to defend himself and that he's been using analytics for years. Such a breath of fresh air to finally break the status quo of what we've been since our inception.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
