Should We Fire Matt Rhule?

[Chaos]

There are NFL coaches that need 3 years to get talented players and build a culture and scheme that fits the personnel.  They need 3 years plus.  Then there are non-NFL coaches who have a talented roster but ruin opportunities and seasons with terrible scheme and misuse of personnel.  They need to go and go quickly.  Rhule is the latter.

I look at it like this. Ron Rivera had Cam and Luke when we went to the Superbowl and I feel like better coaching, preparation and in game adjustments could have got us the win. Do I think Matt Rhule has the traits to get us the win in the same situation? No I don't.

It's laughable you think Rhule could have even gotten that team and that talent to a super bowl.

I mean, if players are really talking about him like this...

Worth remembering theres a lot of friendships between these two rosters.

Posted it in a thread a couple weeks ago, but a friend of mine was watching a game at a party where Kuechly and other former Panthers were.  Luke & Bersin (yes, Bersin) were both yelling "F that guy" at the TV about Rhule.  I don't think he has many allies in the NFL, and there's a method to him loading up on Temple/Baylor guys who've bought into his BS already. He can't win over a pro locker room, can't win over former players, and we're never going to attract or retain anyone of worth here who doesn't have a connection to Rhule from college.

I know it's a bad time of year, but seriously, we need to go ahead and tell Rhule he won't be back so we can at least interview some actual NFL coaches early.  I don't even need his firing to be immediate, I just need us to let him know and start the process of finding a real coach.

This is what I expect to happen on Black Monday.

Yea, me too.  Which is unfortunate.  If we inform him now, we can start interviewing current NFL coaches next Monday.

Hello everybody from a long-time Panther- Fan from Germany.

This is my first post...sorry for my bad english. 

Firing Rhule?

Of course,  natural!!

Why wait? Waiting for what? A miracle?

 

Can't wait to see "my" team to play a game here in Germany. 

But please, please with another HC at the sideline. 

We need to get a real NFL Coach and Rhule isn't it.

Matt Rhule needs to go, I think that is the universal consensus from fans to players to media. This guy just does not have it. Failed experiment, time to wipe the board clean and start again. 

[Soul Rebel]

Up until a few weeks ago, I was all for being patient for his third year. The facelift on defense and securing WR/RB and potentially TE of the future, along with Moton in years one and two made me believe that one more offseason to dig in hard on OL would be the difference. 

Nope.

His pressers are becoming unwatchable and if we as fans can see through the BS, no way the players, front office and our Owner doesn't. 

Bye.

Still on the wait and see path.

Nothing from yesterdays game made the case for firing any stronger (it probably makes it weaker). IMO the team played hard and overall looked better than the previous week; Penalties were down and they didn't turn the ball over until the game was already decided.

Definitely yes. But wait until the season is over. There is no point in firing him before then. If you do fire him, who the hell takes over? Remaining staff would be stretched too thin.
