Current estimate of Tepper's wealth:  15-16 billion.

Yeah 50 million to Tepper is the equivalent of someone with 100k in the bank spending $312.50, literally.

People don't seem to grasp this.

Any would be candidates for the Panthers head coaching job are following the situation in Carolina. Tepper committed to a rebuild. If Tepper fires Rhule before it is perceived he (Rhule) had a fair opportunity any quality candidates might be hesitant to show interest. These last games are important not just for the score, but the effort of the players.  That may be the difference in Rhule’s future.

the Panthers 

There are only so many opportunities to become a head coach of an NFL team.  These candidates believe in their own abilities.  They aren't turning down a chance at the brass ring because Carolina decided to fire a head coach who was only winning five or six games a season after two years. 

Candidates aren't blind to the mess Carolina has been under Matt Rhule.  Chances are many of these guys have coached against the Panthers and Rhule's college "game plan".  They may also be astounded Rhule has lasted as long as he has in Carolina.

I've said it in other threads, I'll say it again here.  Rhule in Carolina has one major issue:  trajectory.

Right now, the trajectory of the franchise is down.  Look on the field.  It doesn't take an NFL expert or analyst.  Does this team look better than it did last year?

We heard a lot about culture.  The roster has turned over nearly 80% since Rhule arrived.  His "culture" is in place.  This is it.  What do we see?  Coaches being fired.  Players calling each other out.  Players shifting blame.  Coaches calling out players directly in public.  Is that a successful culture?

For Rhule himself, you have to compare him to history.  Rhule is going to start his tenure with two losing seasons.  Do you know how many coaches in NFL history have done that and gone on to 8+ year careers and a Super Bowl appearance?  Five.  Ever.  Since 1980?  One.

Are these the signs of a team that is turning the corner?  Is Rhule going to beat incredible odds to turn the team around?  No.

These are the reasons Rhule needs to go, now.

I’m going on the assumption that Dave has no plans of firing Matt this year. His comments about it could take five years makes me think this.

So as he has watched us go from 3-0 to 5-8, has watched Sam Darnold be everything he was in NY, has watched an o-line more resemble a pee-wee team than professionals and has watched a defense with some players seeming to quit…

What is he seeing that nobody else here sees? What is it that would make him think another year would be any different?

Tepper and Rhule have one thing in common.    They both think they are the smartest people in the room

Just watch even average teams in the nfl   
in comparison, Rhule’s team  is unwatchable

It's an interesting topic because Rhule"+'s staff is pretty much all his guys he's been with. 

It's a not a more traditional setup where you have retreads and guys ambitious to be nfl head coaches again at the coordinator positions. 

So he probably just holds on to him and evaluate at the end of the season. 

Then he'll have to decide if he's going to cut bait or bring in a big name at OC as a reminder of how hot the seat is.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By frankw · Posted

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
