Head coaches have a learning curve too.  Especially ones new to the NFL.  

Getting blown out by teams whose own coaches are on a short leash isn't a learning curve that's just plain bad. We should not be getting outcoached by Joe Judge and Jason Garrett or Brian Flores and Ron Rivera but here we are.

I don't think that'll come into play until we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Not sure if losing to ATL would accomplish that or not.

I believe Detroit is still technically mathematically alive for a playoff spot... so no we’re not close to being mathematically eliminated yet

When i hear the word playoffs associated with a losing record  team like the Panthers, i cannot help but think of Jim Moras playoff rant.

Carolina wins out, gets to the playoffs.  Rhule isn't the real problem, the issue is hes new to the NFL, needs to be coached up so to speak but theres no one on this staff that can do that.  Maybe bringing in a OC thats been a head coach before could really vault Rhule into an NFL caliber head coach.

That’s the one positive thing I remember about John Fox - he brought in Dan Henning who had a ton of NFL coaching experience as his 1st offensive play caller. Rhule would have done well to do the same and if he stays on another year I hope he does just that.

So should Sean Payton and Kliff Kingsbury be fired for allowing Rhule to out coach them?

I believe that Matt Rhule would have likely been more successful in Carolina had he selected former head coaches as his OC and DC.  Rhule clearly needs a mentor or two with NFL head coaching experience. 

Having said that, the first step to solving a problem is recognizing you have one.

Do you think Rhule would admit he needs coaching up?  I don't.

As a condition of employment, Matt insisted on full control when it came to selecting his own staff and got it.   

Yeah, Rhule's biggest problem is Matt Rhule.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
