I didn’t really pay attention to the Rhules contract details after he was hired, but now I am curious about how much of Rhules contract is guaranteed so I looked it up. 
Wow, the entire 60 million, up to 70 million, is guaranteed. 
How stupid can you be to give a college coach so much guaranteed money? 
So unless Tepper buys out his contract or, I guess, Rhule leaves on his own. We are stuck with him no matter what happens. SMH. Hope the guy improves then. 

NFL coaching contracts are fully guaranteed.

It’s a SEVEN year deal. Thinking that Tepper expected playoffs in year 2 is naive. 

Also…if you think a guy who’s worried about getting fired after year two is going to hitch his future to a previously failed #3 overall draft pick and Bridgewater you’re crazy. 
 

The last two years were Rhule basically trying to build elements of this team (mainly defense) and develop a culture. He wasn’t going to compromise the overall way he thinks you win in order to reach for a guy like Fields. So….we got Darnold. We will see what happens in year 3 but he ain’t going anywhere unless he wants to

Were you a man with $1,000,000 of cash in hand...

...on an equivalent basis it would be as if you contracted with a yard man for 6-years for a total of $4,285.75...

...Tepper doesn't GAF about this contract -- he'll buy it out in a NY minute if necessary.

I'm not a fan of the college route, but I would have more faith rolling the dice on a Dabo type.  And by that, it's just about looking at how he has seen his success.  Dabo at least understands one thing, his success has always been tied to and has been QB centric.  QB play is the puzzle solver for problems.  A lot of college football, especially lower conference play...isn't about that.  

Rhule might can build an overall decent football team.  But he never put the type team together in college that is almost required to win in the pros. 

Dabo? Dabo is an idiot who is a snake oil salesman elite recruiter. He would be an abject failure in the NFL where you can't just out talent your opponent and win a couple of tough games a hear. He can't coach worth a damn and would be worse than Urban.

Hurney is the gift that just keeps giving... Years after he's gone we will still be frustrated by him.

People will continue to poo on Hurney and he’s done enough damage to this franchise to deserve it, however if he had his way last year; we’d have our franchise under center in Justin Herbert.

Who cares?  His contract doesn't affect the Panthers.  I'm pretty sure Tepper would have no issue firing him if it came down to that.  Tepper doesn't strike me as someone who would hold onto a bad investment over a mere millions of dollars.

(Not that I want Rhule to get fired.  I think the hate he's getting is unnecessary.  Hard to win with a piss poor QB.  He 100% deserves blame for hedging his bets on Darnold, but he deserves another offseason to correct the issue).

If I'm a betting man I would say Tepper will cut his losses sooner rather than later. He wants to win and having a poor performing team is almost like a black eye to him. As soon as he saw Hurney as a bad investment he cut him loose and I don't think the Rhule to Penn ST is bullpoo. He might be reading the Tepper tea leaves. Either way Tepper is a man on a mission and normally he seems to get what he wants so hopefully that will come sooner than later.

You mean if Herbert hadnt been drafted before our pick? Sure.  Do we know it'd be any different with a different gm?

But Hurney has generally been money in the first.

He’s building a losing culture

Look at some of the guys still here hired by him and what they do...

That was Teppers biggest mistake, not firing Hurney with Ron and now his stink still lingers. 

I doubt Hurney was in the room when Rhule was hired, he may have had discussed it with Tepper. I’m just glad Hurney didn’t  make Cam the highest paid QB in the league.

Hurney was there and a big part of hiring Rhule. That's on Yeppet not Rhule.

Thinking Tepper will take losing long enough for that 7 year contract to expire is naive. 

This wasn’t part of the argument? But giving someone a 7 year deal does seem to imply that you aren’t going to fire them after the second year. Granted, Tepper could probably burn that money and not care. But considering his business background I’m going to say he has no trouble being patient and waiting for the process to play out.

If this team stays healthy it’s a borderline playoff team. That’s progress in year two. Rhule can’t control that the best player on the team is out and the two best players on defense are out. Could argue the 3 best players on the team have been out over the last 4 games and one of them is a rookie that Rhule preferred. That’s not bad team management. That’s bad luck.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
