David Tepper gave Matt Rhule a 7 year $62m contract. Rhule never beat a ranked team as head coach of the Baylor football team.

I thought our owner had some savvy and outbid others for a high potential guy.

 It was a huge plus to me that he was an offensive line guy and would understand the importance of o line.  WRONG.  Passed up several elite talents in the past 2 years and we have the worst oline i can remember.  

I could deal with all that if we didnt mortgage our future and just stuck to rebuilding.  Trading assets for darnold and cbs will bury this guy

Baylor was razed to the ground when he got there. 

They weren't exactly national championship worthy when he left.

Questions about his college resumé are fair game. Heck, they were brought up when he was originally hired.

Let's also not forget that since he left Baylor, they won the big 12, beat 5 ranked teams. I question if Matt Rhule was holding Baylor back.

Once you do a deep dive it becomes more apparent that he wasn’t so great in college either.  The only bowl he ever won was the Texas Bowl. Now he’s coaching an NFL team on a deal that only a championship winning coach should have.

It was always a long shot and should serve as a warning about letting an unimpressive GM pick the HC for the owners. Hint hint, it could all happen again here next year. Some even want this to happen. We are set up for a rerun as it stands so there is that fun ahead.

It’s truly amazing how many people in this country are borderline illiterate. Studies have shown something like 50% of the country reads at under a 6th grade level. Just saying this because whenever wrote that is in that 50%.

You're never shy about bashing the players but you'll throw yourself in front of any and all criticism for the head coach. There really are some odd folks out here.

Let’s be honest. Most of you here deserve all of this. I told y’all Rhule wasn’t qualified when he was hired. Told you that Sam couldn’t be fixed. Me and few others were in the minority. In typical Huddle fashion you failed to see this coming and now you’re upset. This was always the outcome.

I have been saying this was a boom or bust for a long time. College coaches don't work out in the NFL, Beat up QBs don't get reformed, and Cam was never going to save this team. Hell Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers couldn't. Even before that I was not so happy about Tepper either. He likes to think he knows more than everyone else in the league yet it's clear he doesn't.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
