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.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
