Keeping Rhule but replacing assistants

That was the Panthers of old.  This new batch looks like the group that could rival 01 and 10 for suck supremacy.

The only way they could go winless is if PJ is starting every game.  Even he could probably pull off 2 wins with this current team.  They are bad but not that bad.

Keeping Rhule and firing his assistants is like changing your baby's diaper and putting the shitty one back on.

I have no idea what will happen. I just don't understand how that would work. If Rhule went outside his comfort zone to hire Brady, WTF would working with competent and experienced people daily do to him? The guy can't handle Cam being around, it's sounds comical really. Also thinking about this crew running a coach search to match with Rhule is hilarious. Hey Rhule, this is the guy who will temp your job when we can you, have fun bossman lol.

There is no good future with Rhule here, polish that turd all day and it will still be a turd. I'm very interested to hear the crowd on Sunday. If we are not looking for his replacement on Tuesday it's going to get bleak AF.

Here’s my two cents for what it’s worth. Joe Brady was out of Rhule’s “comfort zone”. What top 5 coordinator or staff member are you going to get that fits his comfort zone. Because he if don’t buy into the system Rhule is going to crap all over him. Not only that but he’s going to be looking over his shoulder wondering if he’s hiring his replacement. 
 

I think you just got to get somebody with NFL experience. It doesn’t have to be a former HC but somebody whose spent a considerable amount of time in the NFL, and can bring in assistants from multiple teams. This also allows them to have connections to many more players and coaches through the league. 
 

We don’t have that because most of our staff came with Rhule.

Just keep Cam in there and we will continue to winless he is 0-12 last 12 games.  Who really cares though with this rah rah guy leading us.

Nono, its not the talent.  (or at least that's not the main issue)

This staff is so out of sorts another win would be miraculous.

Another win this season certainly will be a miracle.  I mean look at the Saints shutting out the Bucs, miracles do happen.  The Bucs will beat the brakes off us and then we turn around and steamroll the Saints. It could happen. I've seen stranger things my friend.

I think the Brady firing made sense for a few reasons. 

1) After our pretty tremendous first season with the new staff, Brady was already interviewing for HC gigs, and Rhule was pretty irritated that Brady didn't seem in it for the long haul.

2) Former Brady connections not panning out - I am sure Brady vouched for Teddy and Terrece Marshal, neither have performed up to expectations - this couldn't have bought him goodwill. 

3) Season going so poorly, a scapegoat was needed, points 1+2 sealed the deal in Rhule's mind.

Honestly, I wish we gave McDaniels are harder look during the coaching search. It is possible Rhule is not as bad as we think he is... but just like Rivera was too stuck in his ways with playing washed vets > promising rookies... Rhule has done the same if not worse with our o-line.

We need to just restart. I can’t imagine a scenario for keeping Rhule unless they actively want to tank next season.

The biggest problem I have with hiring "college coaches" is that they don't have enough NFL ties or perspective on who they should be hiring.

My stance has been to take away some of the powers Rhule has.  He has too much control over staff.  We need to have a check and balance because Rhule doesn't have the expereince in the NFL world to have full control.

I can see Tepper giving an ultimatum that he has to bring in an OC with NFL experience if he wants to keep his job. That's if Rhule doesn't figure it out on his own like Rivera eventually did. That is the only way he lives to see next season.

 

 

Sounds reasonable.

If we’re keeping pudgy face then keep them all.  Go 0-17 and take back our single season consecutive losses record from the Lions.

Uhhhh....No.

So what does he even bring to the table? He's not a play caller on either side, not good at motivating grown men, horrible with time outs, no half time adjustments, etc. If you're gonna replace everything else just put a more likeable guy as the rah rah head coach. At least someone who can do a decent press conference and not sound like he's guilty of something/lying the whole time
