Legit surprised.

I assumed that Rhule was just going to promote his ST coach from Baylor that's the assistant now to full-time ST coach.

I've got a feeling he was directed to hire from outside.

They still let him decide who to hire, but he can't just promote or rehire his buddies.

That's a theory, of course. The OL and DL hires will be interesting.

It’s almost like a clear cut change has been made.  Whether that is Rhule or an owner demand….Carolina looks to be going from college guys to a pro guys. 

I’d like to see some more shakeup too.  Given how Matt Rhule has explained how they do things….I’d still like some of these guys under the coordinators gone.   For example, the OC doesn’t work up the full game plan.  The staff under him, Rhule’s buddies are tasked with different eras to gameplan each week.  Think some of that needs to shake up too.

The initial gameplan seemed fine for the most part. It was the lack of good adjustments after the other team adapted that seemed to derail things IMO. Offense was ranked 7th in points for the 1st Quarter while the Defense was ranked 2nd. I'm hoping the added experience improves the other 3 quarters.

EDIT: Oh and excited for the ST hire.

It’s a decent hire.   Better than McAdoo.  
 

if Rhule gets fired in season….we have options.  Fields and the Bears looked pretty dang good vs SF in the game he was the acting HC lol

Was thinking that when I heard he was interviewing. That whole team looked different/played harder the week Nagy was out haha.

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
