Are you sold on Matt Rhule?

[Jesse]

I've been saying this for the last year or so. My boy who I coached with played at Temple when Rhule was an assistant and again his senior year, Rhule's first year as HC. He's got nothing but positive things to say about Matt Rhule and Snow. Once people buy into Rhule they'll understand he's a great fuging coach and people seem to gravitate toward him.

Matt Rhule may not always make the best decisions, but he'll always bring the best out of people and that's why he's a successful coach.

Even last year he exceeded my expectations. This year it looks like we are going in the right direction even more. From 2019 until now look at the roster. There maybe 3-5 non rookie guys that are still on this roster from 2019. He has turned this roster into a hungry but extremely young team. Bill Belichick was complaining about all the 27 years olds on his team. poo 27 is an old man on our defense and we are #1 in the league after last year I thought we would be the worst defense in the league. I wasn't excited about the past couple of seasons but Rhule has definitely won me over.

Yes!  And on certain topics he ends up going on and on with such depth that it's obvious he knows what he's talking about and the man is dripping football knowledge.  It's not every question, and there are plenty of fluff answers, but when he starts talking deeper, you can tell he's legit.

I've been hyped since day 1.  I'm not going to say I was blindly sold on him, but the product on the field I think speaks for itself, especially on defense - which is a statement that could  have been made 6 months ago regarding the defense.

I'll eat some crow for this but I still Rivera was still our best coach in Panthers history (to this point). His time did come to an end and it was time to move on. 

That said, the bar to overtake RR is not very high. I think Rhule will easily get there.

I like him a lot. He seems very adaptable which is a breath of fresh air compared to the stubborn, set in their ways coaches that generally get HC jobs. He's innovative but not Chip Kelly "this is so crazy it just might work" innovative.

Fox = Rivera.

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.

 

Exactly this! 

I actually look forward to his pressers. They are full of really interesting nuggets.

Isn't that like saying Robert E. Lee wasn't a good general?

[raleigh-panther]

Huge fan of Rhule and have been since day 1, but hard for anyone to be fully sold on him until we see results. This 3 game stretch has been awesome and very promising going forward but he needs to keep it rolling over the course of a season and into the playoffs. I fully expect him to do so and I love how he coaches and how Snow and even Joe Brady have done for the most part.

This. No, not entirely sold yet but we certainly seem to be trending in a positive direction.
