Worst coaching staff in Panthers history.

I can't believe I was pissed at Luke from walking away from this shitshow.

I said all along when that happened it didn't feel right. Now we know. He made the right call.

I kinda think Luke walks away regardless of the new coach, tbh. He and Rivera had a special bond, his health was at serious risk, he knew it'd be a couple years before the team was competitive for a championship (this is regardless of coach) etc etc. Even a good coach is probably not having the roster competing for a championship immediately... But ideally in the playoff hunt or playoffs this year. Ah well.

I'm sure he legitimately did want a break from football altogether but I also think he got a sense of something from this regime that helped expedite his desire to move on.

It's possible. Luke's the kinda guy that would never let us know that tho.

Just to be clear, in my original comment, I meant I was pissed when he walked away from his staff position with the Panthers.  I don't blame him one bit for retiring.

Eh, it's not that simple.  NYJ wanted to pick the coaches coordinators or have a very strong hand in it...  NY Post reported that Bill Parcells told Rhule not to take a job where he didn't have final say in his OC and DC.  Which makes sense.  Rhule is bad but so are the Jets.  The problem isn't a HC picking their coordinators it's Rhule not being the coach people hoped.

I remember reading that they specifically wanted Gregg Williams to be the DC.

We all know now that Rhule wasn't going anywhere without Phil Snow.
