 I don't think I ever seen the fanbase hate one man more than people hate Matt Rhule. 

What's your personal opinion?

Do you personally "hate" Matt Rhule more than any other individual who has ever collected a paycheck from the (not your) Carolina Panthers?

What say ye?

Nah. There's a list of other gents we've hated in the past just as much as Rhule. He's just the it guy right now.

This.

I do think he is by far the most incompetent coach we ever had. His handling of the QBs and OL has been worse than anything I've seen here.

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.

He didn’t turn around Baylor.  Baylor was a good program.   7 straight winning seasons prior to Rhule.  Most of them double digits.  Made it into the top 10 in each of the 4 seasons before prior to Rhule.  

yes, Baylor got punished and hammered.  Yes, Rhule was there while they took that punishment.  But they simply went right back to being Baylor.  Big 12 champs before and after Rhule.  Rhule gets way too much credit for that IMO.

I don't know that people generally hate Rhule so much as he's a victim of the long-running poor performance of the organization. He has put plenty of poor and questionable tape out there and seems out of his depth but Siefert, Hurney, Gettleman, etc were all pretty disliked at various times as well.

I don't blame Rhule for shooting his shot with this job. It just doesn't seem to be working out and fan sentiment is that they're tired of seeing it.


yeah I don’t hate the guy lol, I mean he tried and really wants to win but has just failed miserably.

I don't' think the huddle and fandom have been this united about a person. There's maybe ONE guy that still defends Rhule, Gipetto or whatever his name is. Other than that, Rhule is not liked by anyone here. 

Imagine if you will. A hatred so strong, so United it could accomplish anything. Then picture that focused on Matt Rhule.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
