This off-season will be the most pessimistic the fanbase has ever been if Rhule is brought back for a third season.

It’ll definitely be toxic next year for sure.

 

Rhule is coming back next year.  There is no way around it.  Let’s just hope Tepper forces him to make some major stuff changes with NFL experience when he is bringing him back.

I just have this sliver of hope Tepper isn’t 100% on keeping Rhule and with enough outside pressure he will crack and fire him. Problem is, he might not be firing him because they didn’t prepare and don’t have a search plan in place to find a new coach and coaching staff. Maybe that is out of pure laziness or maybe the plan was always to keep him for 3 years regardless of team performance. I don’t think that’s a good reason but hey the team sucks for a reason.

By the way, McCaffrey's been IR'd when he's actually able to play for a combined six games over the last two years. A coach can influence the narrative.

Not going to spend much time, just two things they are the youngest team and honestly can only go up for here. 

 

Bonus- If somehow CMC is healthy, that *could allow to cover up sooooooooo many issues alone, but............

Look, coming from a guy that has always found something to root for with this team, a Rhule return would be the 1st time I would consider a season completely DOA before training camp

I used to be considered one of the most negative folks around these parts I think everyone has just come to see what I saw years ago that this is a very poorly run organization and moreso now under David Tepper.

I have been thinking about the offseason. While everyone is really negative I guarantee that there will be a lot of people who will get hopeful before the season begins. 
Fans have a short memory and NFL has one of the longest off seasons. 
It will be interesting to see if people remain negative. 
I will never forget so while I will always support the team. I am done with Rhule. No matter what happens.

Could of said the same thing last season. Making CMC the focus of the offense is a mistake. We need to get away from the “If only CMC wasn’t hurt” thing.

Tepper take the wheel. You've got a good racecar especially since you now have QB1 back in the building. Cheaper and probably more effective than thirsting after another QB that doesn't want you. You can now groom the right future QB while he watches a legend a professional. You are now a couple interior o lineman and d lineman away from actually being a threat in the division with a healthy CMC and a competent NFL level coach for WR and TEs. Speaking of coaching

Total destruction of your race car isn't building it's quite the opposite. Your whole team feels it. Tepper take the wheel and hand the keys to a professional driver. Insanity is...

Yea him being the focus is the big problem given his health. Much like Darnold the panthers are stuck with CMC given they redid his contract. Got to ride this turd out.... best hope is CMC plays in all games and Darnold figures out the NFL QB.......

 

yea and thats alll....yea....

I really do wish people on this forum would stop telling me how unhappy Im going to be next year with Rhule as HC.

 

It's going to be just fine....

Honestly you know what's more terrifying than a Rhule shitshow next year? Us getting lucky and falling ass backwards into 8 wins due to weak opponents etc and having Tepper keep Rhule for yet another season because "the process is working". It sounds crazy given how the team is playing, but remember we started 3-0 this year...

The schedule is pretty tough next year. I think this team struggles to top 5 wins again
