Predict what week Rhule gets fired next season.

If Tepper is smart.... either the Monday morning after week 16 or not at all.

At this point, we're obviously bringing him back next year, which means he either completely turns it around and thus won't be fired... but if he doesn't... I see ZERO value in firing him at any point until the Monday morning after Week 16, and here's why.......

If he's getting fired next year, it's because we had a terrible year and will be in line for a top draft pick.  

For whatever reason, when a HC gets fired, it usually rallies a team together, especially since the interim HC usually isn't one of the DC or OC, but another coach on the staff who is well liked by the players and so the players tend to care a little more in those first few weeks to play hard for the coach they like.

So if we're having a bad enough season to where he's getting fired, I don't want them to do it mid-season where we could rally around the interim coach, win a handful of games, and thus hurt our draft position late in the season.

And with the new rules about being able to interview other team's coaches during the last 2 weeks of the regular season, doing it the Monday after Week 16 lets them start interviewing coaches immediately and limits the number of games the team might rally together and pick up some wins to hurt draft positioning.

The nightmare..............

Panthers manage an 8-8 season and Rhule says the process is beginning to work and Tepper believes him.

As a result year 4 happens with the bumbling bum from Baylor........

We going to win 8 games with Rhule as the coach and sam as the qb?  

I hate to sound like a broken record, but take a look at next years opponents. We'll be hard pressed to get five wins again.

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
