Rhule Has No Idea What He Is Doing

Has that happened yet.. Because it was packed today.. And it took a 2 win season for that to happen here..

That’s cause ol’ faithful is back… what happens if he isn’t resigned next year or even worse, what happens if he is BUT the Panthers don’t make the playoffs.

Also, let’s not kid ourselves. Tepper isn’t a fool, Cam is our best option but he also keeps the stadium full.

Ain't he proved it on that wasted timeout on 4th and 4. The fact he didn't already have a plan in place for that situation screams he literally only went for it because the crowd booed him. As a head coach, you should already know whether you are going for it BEFORE it even gets to 4th down. I'm done with this college "cute" coaching staff. They do not have what it takes to succeed in the NFL. Hell, Rhule and Snow couldn't even beat ranked teams in college. This is not surprising.

 

i said it in the other threads, ill say it in this one. rhule and his ilk were more concerned with a feel good story. the fact that he only brought the team back out on the field because the crowd booed ?? like what??

We were playing if’s, but’s, and maybe’s a few weeks ago after the Patriots went seal hunting on our asses… might as well continue to play.

If you don’t think about hypotheticals in the sports industry then you end up settling for Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold as your QB because you were too short-sighted… after all, that’s why Tepper has a “five year” plan… to plan for the future…

Past tense hypotheticals thoe??

why stop at small poo then? What if we in 2000 drafted Tom Brady in the 5th round?? BAM

Then we’d have a bunch of Super Bowls and we’d both be happy I guess.

And past-tense hypotheticals are relevant when the person who fugged up is still with the organization and still fugging up.

But that’s a conversation for next year when Rhule is in his make or break season.

Hypothetical: if this season bottoms out and we never win another game, how short of a leash do you give Rhule next year?

Personally, I wouldn’t give Rhule another year if his team fails to make the playoffs this year. As of yesterday the playoffs were in reach until the organization poo all down their leg.

Right now, the Vikings (tiebreaker lost), Eagles (tiebreaker lost), and 49ers all look much better than us.

As far as the leash, I don’t have an answer because it’s playoffs or bust. Firing him mid-season won’t make anyone feel better even if the team is trash. I believe only 12 interim coaches have ever won a playoff game and it’s unlikely Phil Snow would be the 13th. If we are terrible again next year then we start another rebuild in the off-season unfortunately.

Wise.  I guess my best response is we were told this was a multi-year project and it's clear the oline both needs addressed and hasn't fully been addressed.

If that's achieved and successful next year, I'd see how it goes.  Personally if I move towards firing him it's at the end of the season because as you said interim coaches rarely amount to poo.  

Overall, I think the experiment has failed, but Rivera himself took years to turn it around.  Maybe some kind of switch gets flipped next year.  I'm skeptical but at this point what does hope hurt?

Frankly I think this season is on life support at best.

All of this said, Joe Brady has to be gone this offseason.  I don't think he's ever going to get "it."  At least not here.  Maybe he gets another chance somewhere down the road, years down the road, when he's got more experience.

You know it probably wouldn’t have mattered but you punt late there with 3 timeouts and the two min warning.  That was the wrong move clearly.  Down 3 at the time

That panthers defense couldn’t stop anyone 

going for it wasn’t a problem   You will note Washington did it several times 

the problem was the play call and the execution

Shocking that a college coach at a power five school that lost to Liberty, UTSA, and Duke in a span of three weeks is wayyyyy in over his head… just shocking.

Matt Rhule wasn’t the best coach for the job, he was the best salesman.

In college you don’t have to be the best coach, just the best used car salesman.

He sold out at Temple when he told his players that he wasn’t leaving.

He sold out at Baylor when his players found out he was leaving through the media.

He sold out here when he let his ego get bigger than the team and got rid of Cam so he could run things “his way”.

Just think how stupid it it is that we fired someone and then begged them to come back after we realized we messed up.

Fugging idiotic organization from top to bottom.

This right here….TRUTH

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
