with four games to play in 2012 we were mired at 3-9 and ron was a dead man walking. we'd just dropped a winnable game to the chiefs and the huddle wanted blood.

then we went on a run, beating atlanta (iirc cam had yet to beat them) drubbing san diego on the road, throttling oakland, and then dropping a forty burger on the saints to close out on a hot streak. this was widely credited to the team finally collectively turning a corner and learning how to win as they bought into ron's program.

i don't think rhule has the right stuff, and i don't see him turning a corner like that, but given how program building works i think it would be catastrophically short sighted not to let him close out the season. no one else on the staff is capable of taking over as head coach next year, so you gain nothing by giving them a shot. if we fire rhule tomorrow we are the browns.

 

The teams the Panthers played down the stretch in 2012 were a bunch of bottom feeders. The end of the 2021 schedule is the Super Bowl champions led by the best QB ever TWICE, the team that almost beat them in their own house today, and the team that always beats us in their house.

Prepare to not see another win until fall of 2022 and probably have a new coach next year either way.

With the benefit of hindsight, the 2012 roster was a whole lot better than what we have now.  Also, that 2012 stretch to end the season was a lot easier than what we are about to face. I don't think it's a valid reason to keep him around to see if he can turn a corner. We all know that isn't gonna happen at this point. There is no tangible benefit to firing him now other than appeasing angry fans, but damn if I wouldn't love for it to happen. 

As was said above firing him now mean we can interview potential coaches earlier. Letting him play out the season will put us at a disadvantage.

Daley played more WR than oline

PJ has compromising nudes of Rhule

ehh there are corollaries to the 2021 squad there as well

No.

We have no QB.

Our RB is busted.

Our receivers can’t catch.

Our TE is an H-Back.

OL is horrid.

Brown is a bust.

Burns is overrated.

Reddick is okay.

Chinn is out of position.

Horn is hurt.

Henderson was a waste.

Carter is a back up.

Gilmore is old.

I get that replacing Rhule now wouldn't solve much considering our options if that happened.

Could we get a temp to play the rookies at their best projected spots? If yes pull the trigger. Hell, would Rhule's staff even show up anymore or would they just start making plans to move to whatever school they would all herd towards?

There's a couple more weeks until we get to where we can begin interviewing. I'd be ok with firing him after next week or after we lose to the Bucs to close out the home schedule without a win at BOA since September.

I thought about this during the game. Maybe the wait to fire Rhule is because everyone else would just leave with him. 
 

I don’t know.

That’s what I’m afraid of. Some miracle improvement to finish the season allowing him to continue hoodwinking the organization for years to come like Rivera did.

You don't have to.

Go back to the info you posted on page one about the rule change. It says that teams can interview as long as they've told their current coach he won't be back, even if he's not officially fired.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By strato · Posted

      I did a for instance quick look at the Green Bay game, stats and PFF.  102 yards passing, he graded 42 decimal point something I just glanced at it.   Probably not overrating him, it was one of the lowest scores for the team.   So I wasn’t being real accurate relative to that particular game with the over grading comment. But I don’t know, I still think there are probably other examples like what you cited where he did get some generous grades.

      Canales' O - Year 2

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m trying to see the light at the end of the playcalling tunnel, but don’t know if it will be there. If Canales passes off playcalling duties, I don’t see how he doesn’t give it to Idzik. I truthfully don’t know what Idzik does nor if he’s up for the job. I don’t see a world where Canales passes him over unless he’s instructed to, and I don’t get that feeling after making the playoffs in year two.  I also don’t want Canales calling plays anymore. I can’t tell if BY is holding him back or if his playbook is that predictable, vanilla and determined to create a new style of offense that is dominated by screens and checkdowns.   My gut says you plug 20 of 32 other starting NFL QBs not named Bryce in and this offense moves more. It’s wild because the times that Young does uncork it a bit, he has had more success….sans his signature out route lobs that have the zip of a paper airplane.
