We have the Falcons on Sunday at 1 p.m. If we lose, we'll have an announcement of Rhule's firing by 1 p.m. on Monday.

I think we're that close. Another loss and it's hit the road. Might survive a loss to Buffalo if we win vs. Atlanta. Loss to the Bucs (and that's almost a guaranteed loss) and he's probably out. Lose to New Orleans (a team that has been falling apart all year) and Rhule is on the street.

Personally, I don't think Rhule makes it past this coming Monday.

If we lay an egg on Sunday, it is a certainty that coach has lost the team

We could only hope.  The Falcons, while still losing, have been competitive of late.  We rarely sweep them and I think a home loss to to a sub-.500 team should be the final straw.  Plus, firing Rhule this early gives us a leg up in the next search.  Waiting until the end of the season puts us in the same pool as all the other teams needing head coaches.   My worry is we actually beat the Falcons and Rhule gets a life line that needlessly prolongs his tenure. 

My two biggest wants right now is Rhule gone and the highest draft position we can get.  Losing out accomplishes both.  A meaningless win or two screws up one, possibly both of those.

Unless there's something behind the scenes that indicates Rhule can right this ship, he's gotta go. Based on what can be seen from the outside looking in, Rhule needs to go. Both of his seasons have started out looking promising and then quickly come off the rails.

I’ve been saying all year. He isn’t getting fired after year 2 of a 6-7 year deal. He has to fix the QB situation and at this point I’m not sure if it’s fixable or if they’re going to gut the team trying…but he will get a year 3. Almost without a doubt in my mind.

what makes you think Matt Rhule can fix a QB situation?  His teams never have good QB play.

The problem is the qb situation should be clearer at the tail end of year two and it is more murky than when he started here. 
 

If I’m Tepper, and money isn’t the issue, I’m getting this dude out of the way and letting Fitterer and the new coach come in and begin the building process again.

Lame duck in year 3. I see no way this team is a playoff team next year. OL is still a problem and we still need a long term plan at QB. 
Rhule shouldn’t get a year 3. Nothing is gonna change.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
