Wouldn’t be against it. Still an Eberflus guy. 
 

Call me superstitious

Capers-Defensive Guy-Playoffs/Division title

Seifert-Offensive Guy- No playoffs

Fox- Defensive guy-3 times playoffs/2 division titles

Rivera-Defensive guy-4 times playoffs/2 division titles

Rhule- Offensive guy- poo show

 

Our “identity” Rhule has been trying to find for 2 years now is what it’s always been. Defense and running the damn rock.

I like Eberflus for HC as well. Pair him with Pederson as OC. They both have Frank Reich connections. Seems like a classic Panthers coaching combo. Pederson can develop a rookie QB.

Pederson and Reich both went to training camp with the Panthers in 95.

Reich obviously made the final roster but Pederson didn't.

Side note: Always felt like we benched Reich too early that year.

I remember them saying it was for Collins development and yadda yadda. Collins didn’t blow me out of the water in 96. We would have had the same or better results with Beuerlein that year, he played great.

A coin flip had big consequences there.

Bill Polian stated that if the Panthers would have had the first pick in the expansion draft, they'd have taken Beuerlein.

Not sure how having the number 2 pick in the college draft would have affected things given that we traded down from number one anyway.

I'm not sure I'd call Rhule an offensive guy. He's always built his teams on strong defense and an okay offense. He has said he owes his success to Phil Snow. The longer you're with someone the harder it is for them to his ego they really are. Rhule seems much more like he's cut from the defense minded Capers/Fox/Riveria mold.

If Pederson has any success running the offense, he's back in a head coach position.  Going this route, it's a one year rental of an OC and back to square one. If you give Pederson the head coach gig, you never have to worry about someone taking your OC and play caller away.

If Dave Tepper isn't ready to can Rhule at the end of this season, I'd feel better knowing that someone like Doug Pederson was on staff and waiting in the wings just in case this team continues to head south in year three.

Firing a Head Coach mid season a lot easier when there's already a viable candidate on staff to replace them.  Right now there is no one that could step into Rhule's shoes.

He's proven, went to a SB, only was on the outs because of that slime ball Howie Roseman, actually was right about some things in the organization (ie the FO wanted to fire Frank Reich the year they won the superbowl but he fought that off), and I believe the players actually liked him. That last year was not on him. 

Dang out of the game and I forgot about him. He put together a great staff his first time. Im still in the "give rhule 3 years" group......but if a legit big name hits the market and has tepper's dollars in his mind....bye rhule..

      That might balance out because apparently the Texans O-line is ass. He did manage to throw for almost 300 yards the last two weeks though.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By frankw · Posted

      Don't forget that Rhule actually took Tepper's offer to the Giants and they balked. He was just seeking the big payday which should have been a red flag. I have no idea how much time Tepper spends within the Panthers building. I do know that he in the past has been too much involved. He supposedly held weekly meetings with Reich. Then after firing Reich Tepper he held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking and made it about himself. Before that Tepper went out of his way to bloviate to the press about how he spoke to Bryce Young months before the draft and directly told him he wanted him to be a Panther. Then he went to the well of his selling point about Bryce being a point guard and we wouldn't need to invest in elite weapons. The guy thinks and talks like he knows what he's doing. At the end of the day the franchise has been in the gutter in large part due to he and his wife's involvement. It is what it is. Appreciate the convo.

      Unlike most of you, I do not assume the FO thinks he is beyond repair.  For the first time since 2017 the Panthers have a chance to be in the playoffs. One more game will tie them for the most wins since 2018, 2 more wins will put them at 8 wins - the most in 8 years.  Hate all you want but a big part of that success has come from Bryce. He got them in the hole with Miami but he got them out of it as well and was a big part of that win. Against Dallas, he played very well throughout the game plus he converted on a 4th down in the final minutes putting them in FG range for the win. He may not have had a good game against the Packers but he did convert on two 3rd down conversions in the final minutes to help seal the win and of course the Falcons game was his best yet. Tepper likes him and they have a huge investment in him as well. You don't just throw that away unless you have something concrete lined up behind him - which I just don't see.
