If there is anything positive from today, even if Rhule isn't fired, he is getting a lotta of smoke today that he wasn't getting all season. He's probably gonna be on the hottest seat next year if we don't fire him, especially with all of this OC rockstar poo. 

Tepper obviously doesn’t care about any of that.

This is about money plain and simple. Giving up on a HC that’s after two years on a seven year contract is an expensive mistake. Better to give him another year on the condition of changes to the offensive staff and better FA’s. Not that I completely agree but that’s my take on why Rhule will likely survive Black Monday.

I'm sure Tepper gets a % of all the sales in BofA on game day. There's the licensing sales, marketing etc. Those numbers will dwarf Rhules contract and another season like this will end up in the same place and cost him a whole lot more. The only difference is fans won't be so willing to come back and spend their money for the next guy he hires.

Yup, he's at a crossroads here.

Every single decision he's made since buying the Panthers has been the wrong one, I'm guessing he continues with that trend.

If you figure the average fan spends 60 bucks per at a game and the stadium holds 75k at a 20% cut just on those sales alone for 8 games at home there's Rhule's season salary. That doesn't even count all the extras. Keeping Rhule is going to cost Tepper a boatload of cash.

And not just in the short term...this could have lasting effects.

If fans continue to fall away from the team, as they have done since 2016, this will only put that into overdrive.

We have now reached "bottom tier team" level in the league.  Giants, Jags, Panthers, Jets.  We are no different than them any longer.

No, there's the trash tier, which is the Jags, Giants and Jets.

Then there's the Tepper tier, which is below the trash tier. That's where you'll always find the Panthers.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
