Is Matt Rhule the most hated person in Panthers history?

Matt Rhule isn’t even an awesome college coach.   Matt Rhule makes Dabo Sweeney look like Vince Lombardi.  
 

Rhule didn’t do anything in college in reality.  One crap conference title.   That’s the whole resume. 

He turned around Temple and Baylor.  That was enough to land him in Charlotte.

Maybe awesome is hyperbole.  He was a very good college coach.  He did something right in the college ranks and he speaks VERY well and knows how to sell himself.  

If we fire him, I’m sure he’ll end up back in college somewhere as a P5 HC.

I'd like to believe Tepper is waiting for what he considers the best time to take appropriate action.

Honestly, getting your ass first in the hiring queue is "the best time".  It may not get you the top candidate(s), but at least it puts you at the head of the damn line.

Either fire him publicly or support him publicly... this wishy-washy bullpoo only makes Tepper look exactly like he's proven to be over the last few years: WISHY-WASHY.  Either that or he doesn't have a clue about what he's doing which is just as likely a possibility.

I hear you, I'm just holding out hope that because Tepper hasn't made any public statement in support of Matt, he is seriously considering firing the guy.

Granted, it would best to get a jump on the rest of the league in searching for a new coach.  Since no other teams (Jags being the exception for obvious reasons) have fired their coach the consensus among the owners may be early termination isn't worth the trouble. 

The Panthers seem to be in the worst possible position with a coaching staff that is uniquely unqualified and potentially unwilling to take over if Rhule doesn't coach the last two games of the season.  The potential for a bigger clown show than the one we have at the moment is real.

I hated Rivera more, but Rhule is easily a worse coach. I’m comfortable admitting that now. 

When you have guys like Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly in their prime and terribly mismanage and handicap your team so you come away with 0 Super Bowls is infuriating.

Ok, thanks for monitoring my posts and letting me know what I mean.  

Well, I’m reading the thread not “monitoring” your posts.  And the first thing the OP did was to *exclude* the Carruth anomaly from his conversation (for good reason).

It would be better if you improved your “monitoring” of what other people write and respond to what they actually said and not The Voices.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
