Matt Rhule says the Panthers offense is about to have a "vastly different look," redefined with more of an emphasis on the run game.

Rhule has never impressed me.  His college resume IMO was never as strong as it was pimped.   He won one conference title.  That’s his resume.  Vs the field of other college to pro coaches that is weak. 

and at least to me, he doesn’t inspire confidence when he talks.   He speed talks a word salad of bullshit.  Always seem jittery and unsure. 

goes back to the preseason where he essentially bragged about letting other coaches set everything up and dictate what they wanted to get out of practice.   
 

Rhule is less impressive than Rivera or Fox to me.  And that’s not high praise of Rivera and Fox. 

I'm somewhere in the middle...  I didnt want him at all as our coach, mainly because I was not impressed by the college program building rah-rah type stuff, and as you said, he never really won anything meaningful.  I wasn't impressed.  But then when we hired him and the reports about wanting to be heavy on analytics, science, player health/recovery, and his watching his opening presser, I felt like he was super charismatic and could be the perfect man for the job.  Well, I have serious doubts about all of that, and I'm starting to feel like gets a used car salesman and I just got sold a lemon.

I was initially a Rhule skeptic but let's keep in mind that he is just 22 games into his NFL career.

I share the same skepticism that I initially did but I am not ready to jump off a cliff yet. Perhaps if we finish the season at 3-14. 

That's something we all had to know was going to be a thing. The coaching staff has a learning curve to navigate, as well. All while during a complete rebuild.

He’s worse after Game 22 than after Game 1. At best, he’s not improved at all. It looked like we hadn’t practiced for weeks on Sunday.

And in that mic'd up last year Shaq asking him on the sideline if he was ok. When one of your only vet leaders thinks you're overwhelmed that's bad.

Can dumbass Dave just admit that he fuged up and move on to a real NFL staff? It’s clear that Rhule is just guessing here. He doesn’t know how to actually coach at this level. He and all his assistants need to go back to coaching amateurs. He reminds me of a younger Mack Brown. A guy who is great at selling hype with no substance.

That was a bad game yesterday, no question about it. But, I am not going to jump off a cliff after a bad game and I am not going to jump off a cliff after a three game losing streak. There are still 11 more games to judge where we are at as a franchise.

I'm not peddling some dumbshit Sunshine Squad optimism, just saying we are in the midst of a season and we need to get the full picture before we start being definitive about anything. If we keep getting worse and worse as the season progresses, I am absolutely on board with the "Fire Rhule" bandwagon. But, maybe we still end up as a 6-9 win team and are relatively still on schedule for where we should be.

You’d be happy with 6 wins?

QUICKLY losing faith in Rhule as a coach.  Dude may can build a program based on motivational speaking skills and get players to trust him...but doesn't mean he knows what he's doing when it comes to X's and O's. 

He’s never been an x and o coach. He has said that time and again. He leaves that to coordinators. He’s basically just a corporate manager. 
 

I still like rhule and think he can be successful but he needs to find a franchise qb or it’s just not gonna work out.

      yeah, I think that side sort of emerged at the end of the prior year too and just stuck.  The Gamecock game specifically.  Didn't he have to apologize for saying too much after Dabo botched that one on trick plays and stuff?  But I mean, I think he was right.  Not that you want your player saying the correct thing publicly lol.   Think he just got frustrated Clemson could of won more games than they did....if it was just about that and not trying to develop DJ and then Cade.  I mean, I do think running and grinding out Shipley/the ground game and playing D....probably could of won some of those losses.  and that CJ Spiller incident on the sideline is a legit dislike moment this past year.   And I largely ding most guys hard for those type things.  Which I probably give him a pass on.  end of the day, I just want a natural pass catcher in the backfield and to round out the backfield better.  I forget about Trotter in this draft.  I do think if a Tiger is signed, it's a front 7 guy.  Just like fearing them overdrafting Shipley.  Part of me worries about Ruke.

      Blank? I’m not a fan of owners being overly involved in draft day decisions, that’s what you hire the GM for, but you should at least be involved enough to veto a decision like this if it is something you would be “furious” over. Also, they knew they were doing this before the draft. The first 7 picks played out pretty much exactly how everybody thought they would. This couldn’t have been a surprise. I don’t know if I’m buying that Blank didn’t know what was going on. Maybe just trying to play good guy with Cousins to keep him on board.
