We are DOOMED! Panthers expect Rhule back for 2022...WTF

[Mr. Scot]

I have never not watched a Panthers season but another year of Matt Rhule would make it extremely difficult to do so.

[gofightwin]

There are exactly two people that know the fate of Rhule right now:  Tepper and his wife. That’s it. That’s the list.  
 

Anything else is pure speculation. And Jonathan Jones and Person don’t have the Tepper’s on speed dial.

Does it even matter? A new coach isn't going to turn around this franchise that still hasn't had back to back winning seasons. We are the Lions, Browns, Falcons, Jags. Just live with it.

“And those inside the organization believe the 46-year-old will return in 2022, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.”

Is what the article is based on. Course I can’t read it because I don’t pay for the Atheltic.

This is the full paragraph from The Athletic, and overall it's pretty non-committal.

Rhule has five more years left on the seven-year, $62 million contract he signed in January 2020, but David Tepper has shown he’s willing to cut his losses and paper over his mistakes. Team sources believe Rhule will be back in 2022. But Tepper’s not happy about a fourth consecutive losing season, so nothing’s guaranteed unless or until the $16 billion hedge fund manager says Rhule is safe.

If he comes back, the only real bit of motivation for the 2022 season would be that we’ll be in contention for Bryce Young.

now you’re getting me excited for another pickles-esque season.

You'll watch in September, but will you be watching in November? Probably.

It's honestly not guaranteed, and I'm not exaggerating.

Rhule is just awful, and I have zero faith in any notion that's going to change anytime soon.

I do however have a lot of confidence that I'm far from the only one who's thinking about it.

I won't watch next year if rhule is here. I haven't watched the last two games. He's an idiot and he's dragging the franchise down

[top dawg]

I never thought that as a Panthers fan that I'd be embarrassed to be a Panthers fan. This is what David Tepper and Matt Rhule have brought me too. I mean, I used to be able to wear my gear proudly--yeah I still wear it, will wear some tonight at a party--but the other day, as I was taking care of my wife's Christmas gift at the jewelry store, the guy said, "So, you're a Panthers fan." I responded, "Yeah, I know, they suck." That's the depth of conversation now with strangers because I'm reticent of being clowned.

I have progressed like either Rayzor or McNasty said, can’t remember which one, anywho. I’ll watch, but if there is other stuff going on I’m not going to be disappointed I’m not watching. I got the Canes to fill my sports fix. So there’s that.

My biggest issue with Rhule right now was always my biggest issue with Rhule, he’s a college coach, this team has absolutely no identity, no buy in from the players. It just feels like a dead entity. If the players were out there dying for the coaches, I’d probably feel differently. But there is no energy and you can tell by what happened the first few weeks when cam was injected in to the team. There was a mass explosion of energy and excitement. Unfortunately, that’s warn off. Now the players are back to going through the motions because they have to. 
 

And if Rhule is around I expect that to be even worse next year, because no good FA is going to want to come here. Because they know how toxic the culture is.

I haven't watched the last two either. I'm going Sunday but only because a friend got free tickets from work.
