Is there any way Rhule could pull this train wreck back on the tracks? I'm digging but imo the only way would be to hire both a NFL caliber OC and DC. Being that he doesn't know many I would suspect he would have to rely on Fitters to do this. Not very likely to happen but let's hear your ideas. Because what else we got at this point. 

Not no, but Hell no!

DBs dropping interceptions, WRs dropping passes, penalties galore on the lines... Rhule hasn't even got the basics down...

Yes, I put a lot of that on coaching...

Panthers are currently 4th highest in the league for penalties.  That's definitely on coaching.

I had high hopes for him when he came out. We forget that Rhule was a sought after coach and hot coaching candidate when we picked him up.  I liked the message he preached about rebuilding. So along with that comes patience as to build it up, as he has before takes a few seasons. I was willing to give him 3 or 4 seasons to be playoff ready. 

However the issue that I see is the confusion between WIN now and rebuilding. He started doing one, then changed to the other. 

I HATE moving on from coaches this quick but I think at this point we do need a refresh. Rhule is not the guy.

Rhule is obviously learning on the job.  The only way he's going to get better is by working with an experienced guy.  

Fitterer has been in the league over 20 years.  For half that time he worked with a well respected coach, Pete Carroll.  Could Fitterer be the one to help Rhule learn the ropes in the NFL ?

Here's the issue. Put yourself in the shoes of good NFL coordinator candidates with other options. Are you really going to come to work for a guy who everyone knows will be on one of the hottest seats in the league next year (assuming we would retain Rhule here) with a massive question mark at QB and nearly the entire OL or would you go somewhere with more job security? Honestly, it kinda feels like you're just setting yourself up for failure. Which is why Rhule needs to be fired.

 

 

This 100%. At this point, there is no chance of landing a quality OC.

Have you ever seen a train wreck for real?

........picking up the pieces to putting this deal all back together with Rhule would be like trying to put together a life size puzzle of the Sistine Chapel blindfolded after Andre the Giant farted all the pieces out of his ass.

You might have a better chance putting the train back together.

theres zero accountability, no consequences for playing bad.  Players literally do whatever the hell they want.  They constantly play out of position, dont stay in their gaps etc.  Thats on the coach.  The only one that has been held accountable for his mistakes, is the guy that was just tossed into the mix and told to learn a new offense, Cam.  Rhule is far too nice.  Dude needs to drop the fbomb in that locker room already.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
