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

I should have preface that with, 'if we keep Rhule'.

Tepper has to know that sales and views will be down tremendously if Rhule is kept another year. He isn't stupid. Keeping him would just be about pride at that point. 

Never underestimate the pride of someone who has been wildly successful.  It makes you believe you are "smarter" than you really are.  When you have success you spend a good amount of time with people telling you how smart and great you are.  It's pretty rare that a successful person is wise enough to understand that their success in one area doesn't guarantee their success or knowledge in another.

No one with other opportunities is going to come work for this college coach who would be on the hottest seat in the league.

The Rhule experiment flopped spectacularly. Time to own it, learn from it, and move the fug on.

The only way this scenario works, which I think it doesn’t based on the fact Rhule won’t ever fire his guys. Is if Tepper brings in some old vets on very high pay scale one year deals. Tepper and Fitts would have to cut Rhule out of the decision making completely for it to have any chance of success.

That my thing. If you're having to force things like this on a coach, you have the wrong coach.

I’m over it at this point. Nothing will surprise me at this point and that includes Rhule being around for another year with this same staff.  I think I care about as little as I ever have about this team.  It’s pure comedy now. Keeping Rhule around another day is pointless.  Tepper has managed to ruin a .500 franchise most of us were clinging to and make most us us really care less.

Losses to a billionaire just means less taxes paid.

The sad truth is that it's also easier to build a fanbase when the wins starts.  Face it the majority of fans come and go with the wind. Diehard fans (the base) stick around no matter how bad it gets. The fans that hang around for one player will always be there until that player leaves. Those are truths every team deals with. 

The fans are never a factor in team decisions, at least by smart teams.  The reason being is that until the owner figures out how to build a consistently competitive team he will never build the Diehard base who fill his pockets with the real money from merchandising.  And everyone knows cash is king.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
