But a lot can change between now and season's end so who knows?

Good news is that Rhule, if the teams stays as it is, will be gone next year. 
This team is till years away from being contenders. 
I see nothing positive going into 2022 season.

Im a Canes fan. They just fired their AD, normally when you do that you completely clean house. There were rumors even before the AD was fired that Kiffin would leave Ole Miss for Miami. At least those part of the rumor sounds at least plausible

What is wrong with the Canes? Only loss 2 games in a row but both losses are concerning.

A team with a power vacuum?

That might be of interest to a guy who wants control of everything.

Honestly going from Ole Miss to Miami feels like a step down but its someone to be said for not having to fight with GA and Bama every year

Definitely not. Ole Miss just had their first 10 win regular season EVER. They've never even won the SEC West, much less sniffed a Natty

Kelly got $100 mil. ND could write Rhule a voidable 7-year contract for $60 mil and save $40 mil. Rhule gets basically another start with the same money he’d make at CAR. If they offered that he’d be dumb not to take it. Bc if he has another bad year here he’s done. Nobody is gonna touch him. He’ll be a coordinator or get a mediocre college job. Ole Miss is a losing proposition. They’re gonna get run in the new SEC and now you’re following Kiffin if he leaves. You basically take that job if you’re looking for any way out of your situation. 

I know a lot about ND 

as I said, Rhule was never, ever going to be the pick  there

Tepper has shown he is slow on the trigger 

that trend continues and Rhule is still here in 2022 

…a bit concerning as the probability of Rhule succeeding here dwindles by the month.

The guy simply doesn't  get,  can’t get, or refuses to get the NFL 

Might as well get used to another season of press conferences starting with a lost looking Rhule stating ‘we got out coached, out hit, and out played today,  credit to the other team’. 

That is just what I’d want to hear from a guy I signed to a 6 year 65 million dollar contract

The mid-tier SEC programs are stepping stone jobs for a reason. You might be able to have a good season or two but sustained success is going to be practically impossible going up again the Alabamas, LSUs, and Georgias of the world. Might as well leverage that good season or two into landing a job where sustained success is a lot more probable.

On the topic of coaching rumors in his latest mailbag, Albert Breer also affirmed Rhule's commitment to staying with the Panthers:

From Hovis Panther (@HovisMyers): Matt Rhule back to college?

Hovis, I’m not gonna channel Mike Tomlin here, but I think it’s highly unlikely. Will Oklahoma and Notre Dame call? They’d be out of their minds not to. And for the same reason Kliff Kingsbury deflected questions about the Oklahoma job, it’d be understandable if he let some rumors percolate for a bit (though Kingsbury’s in a contract year in 2022, whereas Rhule’s deal runs through ’26).

In the end, though, I think Rhule’s viewed himself as an NFL coach the whole time, going back to when he had jobs at Temple and Baylor, and is where he wants to be now. In fact, as I’d heard it, one reason you didn’t hear many complaints from players in Waco as Rhule worked to leave Baylor was because he was up front with everyone on his aspirations.

The other thing is that the college game will be there for Rhule, if things don’t work out in Carolina down the line. It’s the beauty of his situation. He was wildly successful in two places that weren’t the easiest to win at, and he’s still just 46. So maybe he’ll be in the NFL for good, and he’ll win big with the Panthers and that’s that. If not? You better believe some big-time college program will be waiting for him behind the wheel of a Brink’s truck.

Oy 😕

If Rhule "views himself as a pro coach", then it's pretty much Panthers or bust because it's hard to imagine any other pro team wanting him based on his performance here.

Breer did mention one intriguing possibility in another area though when he was asked about the Bears  head coaching options:

As for other candidates, I think Josh McDaniels is one worth keeping your eye on, someone with a high-end résumé in quarterback development, and a coach who took a very hard look at Fields predraft last year. Or maybe the McCaskey family will take a big swing at someone like Sean Payton, who worked with GM Ryan Pace in New Orleans and is from Chicago.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      By CRA · Posted

      I feel largely the same way I did entering last year.  What we are attempting to be on O.....doesn't matchup with Bryce Young.   Scheme nor talent.  I think Canales would pair much better with a young Jake Delhomme.  And Johnson and XL would be great additions for a young Jake Delhomme.  It would be fun.  Bryce is going to make this OL look worse.  He is too small to be in a traditional pocket/scheme at this level.   Bryce Young needs an innovative/Bryce Young centric O scheme to succeed with a bunch of quick YAC check down talent.  That's not Canales.

      BIG fan of the pylon and line marker camera technology that's come along in recent years.  It's definitely helped a lot for replays

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I'm serious. You take all of the first year jitters any rookie QB starting will face. Then you put him behind an inept line, give him a group of WRs that features a 32-33 year old slot receiver as their only reliable guy and use him as WR1, no TEs to speak of, pay big bucks for an undersized and over-touted RB that isn't out competing practice squad players AND THEN pair it up with a dysfunctional owner/HC/OC combo that keeps running the same play concept again and again and again. (And coaches that were already at each other's backs with daggers don't develop young QBs... heck it's the hardest skill ever for any HC.. Jon Gruden never could do it and there's a case to be made that Belichick never did it (the QB developing the coach possibly there)). Yeah, he was bad, legendarily bad, but he was in possibly the worst environment imaginable for a rookie QB. You can take away some mechanics issues that should have been worked on and still need to be worked on, but everything else was tainted by that environment.  I wasn't impressed by him in the least for anything except for his character and willingness to go back out there and just get killed again and again. At least he wasn't running away on every play, little girly screams lifting to the cheap seats, like Pickles was.  Will he be good this year? Honestly, the odds are stacked against him. They are on every young QB in the league, and he had more piled against him. Maybe Canales can fix him and the team. I sure hope so. If not, it's back to the drawing board and we'll have wasted two seasons. I really don't want that to happen.
