Panthers fire Blackburn, Okam, and Meyer

[RumHam]

Well we can't stop the run and the front four underperforms so go on. At least we didn't hang on to an oline coach forever like Rivera did.

[Growl]

Did anyone at any point last season think “hm yes if only our special teams play was improved”

if anything this team has had a really good run of specialists with Blackburn here

he was fired because he was a holdover from the previous regime and probably still says “keep pounding” in hushed tones when rhule isn’t around

Great more scapegoats.

Hey Tepper, Rhule is the guy who hired all of these fuging bums or decided to retain them from the last regime and now he’s firing them all. 
 

How much more do you need to see to be convinced the guy you’re dumb ass hired has no fuging clue what he’s doing.

Give me 7 years and 60 million dollars and I’m sure I can will this team to a whopping 5 wins.

fuging lowest point in Panthers history.

Before he came aboard, Zane Gonzalez wasn't known for putting his kickoffs in the end zone.

He credited his improvement to coaching that he received here.

Keep on rearranging those deck chairs.

Or ST coach for the 2020/2021 Panthers.

I have no issue with any of the firings as none of them did well or developed anything. Here’s to hoping we get real coaches.

Unfortunately it usually takes one to know one.

He basically fired the entire staff he hand picked except for Snow because they’re a package deal. 
 

fuging clown is firing everyone around him and still isn’t taking any responsibility for this train wreck he engineered. They all must not have bought into this process he somehow sold our dunce of an owner on.

Trimming away at what wasn't working. I still think the bad runs to the core, but we're going to have at least another year to find that out.

I sincerely hope I've been wrong about this team's coaching.

Imagine you're an offensive line coach, and your resume includes the 2021 Carolina Panthers. Time to look into Dental school.

Easy interview answer to why did your OL suck so much: "My boss wouldn't let me play the talented young players with potential that I wanted to play and develop."

It’s a start. 
 

the proof will be in the hirings. I think if Rhule hires a competent OC that can attract a quality staff and is more hands off on the offensive side of the ball then I can get behind this.

Two of those were expected. Okam is a surprise.

That's actually the second time Rhule has fired his DL coach. Guess we're gonna have a new one every year.

I mean we spent #7 overall on a DT considered to be a generational tackle and he’s been a bust. Burns was also mediocre. What were people expecting?

[Mr. Scot]

You know it occurs to me that Rod Marinelli might actually make sense for the DL, and not just because he's a great coach.

I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I think Marinelli was in Detroit while Phil Snow was coaching there.

Were they better the year before though?

I ask because Rhule fired his first DL coach (Mike Phair, a guy with NFL experience but no connection to Rhule) and promoted Okam to replace him.

When asked for comment on why he let go of Phair, Rhule's only comment was something along the lines of "we do things a different way here".
