My name says it all. I was sold as soon as he gave his first speech to us. Do you guys remember that speech? I wanted to suit up and play for him. 

 

I love the part about his son.

I echo the getting there..

He had the hardest start for any HC in NFL history last year. That team lost close to 60% of the snaps and stats, not to mention the leadership. Besides a few quarters, they were in every game til the end. Major props for that feat. Now with one of the youngest team hes got them 3-0 with never being behind currently. 

My main worry is Rhule getting to the smelly his farts smug ego levels or leaves for ________ . He is a great follow to John Fox 1&2, sick of the archaic 20 years they had that beyond ran its course. I enjoy watching panther football again, same for last season too.

He hasn’t been coaching in the NFL long enough for me to make an informed opinion… Dallas will only be his 20th regular season game.

Watson was all Tepper.

Stafford is more of a short term move imo as I clarified what I meant in a later post. I was talking about drafting a qb in the first round and dealing with growing pains. The anology was if rhule was the head coach of kc with Alex smith I don’t think he drafts Mahomes. 

I think the Darnold trade demonstrated they will take on a young QB that needs development. Darnold isn't a rookie, but he is young and needs development... He isn't in the same category as Fields in terms of what development he needs but it isn't as if Rhule was only after veteran or proven commodities at QB.

Time will tell if Rhule would draft someone like Mahomes if needed / opportunity arises, but he has demonstrated that he values building the team with young players as well as vets so I think that's possible.

Darnold is a 3 year vet. Teddy was a vet. These are much different situations then developing a rookie qb out of college. Darnold showed he could play above average in between his disastrous showings. Yes he needs continued development but he’s ran pro systems and was use to nfl speed. They aren’t the same as bringing in a rookie imo. He’s had two drafts to pick a qb. First one reports are he wanted to trade down and draft Henderson. When we could’ve attempted to trade up and draft Herbert. This one we passed on a couple prospects. I think my logic is sound. That he prefers a vet over a rookie drafted in the first round. 
 

yes time will tell...I was just giving my opinion.

So far so good....

* I like the fact he he's coached almost every position group and really has a feel for the team and what areas we need to improve

* Seems to have a eye for talent along with Fitts

* Has a vision for consistent sustained success aka "the process "

* Relates well to the players and they seem to be buying in

 

HOWEVER he will not get my official stamp of approval until he has back to back winning seasons.

He’s already the best coach we’ve had. Will probably end up the most successful coach we’ve had too. 

How’s he Carolina’s best coach when he hasn’t achieved anything major yet?

[StandandCheer955015]

His calling card in his career is year 3.   He is ahead of the curve in year 2 but it's still early.    As far as back to back winning seasons he will be the first to do it if he pulls it off am I correct (Regular season only)

Because he’s the best at coaching. The question isn’t “most successful”, it’s the best. And Rhule can coach rings around Rivera and I’d also take him over Fox, our two most successful coaches. For example, if Rhule had been our coach in 2015, with THAT roster, there’s no doubt in my mind we’d have been 19-0.

I didn't quite make it there.

In fact, my GPS wound up taking me in the opposite direction.

These threads are fantastic.

Haha this did not age well, and it was only a few weeks ago. 

Rhule officially has the status of a snake oil salesman.
