Kevin Patra of NFL.com has begun to paint the picture here in Carolina. This can't make Tepper happy.

"The Panthers are a mess that Rhule can't seem to clean up. Every button he's pushed this year has sunk Carolina deeper into the waste."

https://www.nfl.com/news/matt-rhule-panthers-fans-booing-team-loss-buccaneers

Granted, the preponderance of the article is a collection of the "colorful" quotes from Rhule's presser--minus the JayZ reference--but it still sounds like the drivel of a lost man that, at the very best, is drunk on his own Kool-Aid and, at worst, under the influence of something else, or a coach that is out of his league. At least he apologized. 🙃

One thing is for sure now, we know that Tepper has to know. What he does about it will likely have some repercussions on fan attendance and interest in the 2022 season.

Per some reports, it sounds like Rhule will at least get one more season. What does Rhule have to achieve in 2022 to save his job? I personally think that he has to make the playoffs to even survive. A .500 record or even winning record but missing playoffs will not cut it. I worry that Rhule will be desperate this off season and make bad free agent signings or poor draft decisions to sink us even further.

Tepper won't fire him if we have a winning record. I just don't believe it. 

Meanwhile, we've gotten to the point where just being competitive would seem like a massive breakthrough.

I honestly don't care. If Tepper doesn't care why should I?

The 3rd season will be his famed 'turn it around' season he did the last two jobs he had.  This isn't college, not going to miraculously turn it around unless there is a complete overhaul of his coaching staff and he takes some coaching tips from a veteran coach this off-season.  

Even with the people we have in place on the roster, we have a team that is capable of being good...not great but good.  And he can't get that out of them so far.

The biggest danger of keeping Rhule is his complete control. He is highly likely to either nuke the cap, trade picks like gangbusters or both. All in an attempt to save his job.

Hence why you never want to have one guy in complete control. That means one guy can pilot the whole enterprise into a fuging iceberg at full steam, rather than just have a leaky compartment that needs repairs.

A great writer said ‘when people show you who they are, believe them….the first time’

The NFL record, the dismantling of he and his coordinator schemes by experienced NFL coaches, the disrespect from other teams players, his own press conferences and the pablum he spews, his mishandling of the draft and free agency, absolutely should show Tepper who this guy is.

I have to say that I’m at the lowest point of my fandom of this team. I had a feeling with Tepper it would be this way.

 What I didn’t expect is that the Panthers would be the next Jets and Jaguars because both this owner and coach both think they are the smartest people in a room they have never been in before 

Its about the best players, keeping players only until they approach peak, details  and smart schemes, not pablum and pablum is all Rhule has as he sure as hell does not have the other things    He should study st the feet of the NE coach

Yep.  If the message to Rhule this offseason is "win or else", how the hell will he be responsible with our cap and draft?  He'll set us back years just to try and save his own ass which will likely be a futile effort looking at our roster today.  This is the time to start over with an NFL-ready coach who understands our needs and can actually evaluate talent.

LOL, back away from the ledge bro! We care to a certain extent, that's why we are all in here venting on the Huddle! "Does anybody feel like how I feel about the Panthers?!?!" (Checks internet, search carolina huddle, post sh*t, move on with our lives, only to do it again tomorrow.)

I have a feeling if he is retained, that he will be fired before the ends of next years season.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I already said things like speed and athleticism you either have it or don't. Like Tet's size and wingspeed. But a big knock on  Tet was that he didn't play as physically as you would expect given his size and strength. In fact he struggled against press coverage and couldn't get separation off the line or off the top of his break which is why he has so many contested catches to begin with. He was not great taking balls away like a Mike Evans was and would struggle against physical corners in the NFL. But he has what you can't coach. That is why we drafted him. What he lacks can be taught.  Legette has good size and speed. He actually could get separation but couldn't catch the ball using poor technique. Once again those skills can be taught. Both Legette and Tet have great physical skills and will complement each other. They are clearly different but I don't share your belief that their deficits can't be coached or remediated. One question with both of them will be their willingness to be physical in the run game and play with aggression.

      This might be my favorite quote from game 1.    "the Hurricanes seem to have it for stretches long enough that you could get up out of your seat, wait in line for popcorn, hit the restroom and get back to the stands — and not miss a Capitals appearance in the offensive zone."   Washington post

      Its not blind faith, we just aren't jaded and can see that he provides something needed that isn't on this team. Like it or not, he is our only deep threat, jump ball guy, Tmac isn't that yet. He is the fastest and biggest reciever we have.  He is really good at getting position on CBs and he also blocks downfield.  Tmac is going to take adams role and get the most targets, Coker will be third and we better hope Theilen is 4th or 5th.
