True. 

But it’s also a true an incompetent person can have good people around him.  And the fact an incompetent man leads the group defines what ultimately happens in the end. 

I still think Rhule is the problem.  And I have been hard on Fox and Ron at times.   Didn’t think they were great coaches. Incompetent was never a place I went with them.   Even in the dark times they had.  

and maybe Rhule will turn into something one day.  It’s clear he has a long way to go and so don’t expect there to be enough years for him to learn on the job in NFL HC attempt #1. 

Agree 💯I’m being optimistic but the incompetence was real. I’m hoping it’s a sign of growing pains for an inexperienced college coach that needs more time. However, Tepper and us fans have to see significant change on the field to regain any confidence.

and it’s not that he is incompetent.  It’s he is a hands on and one wants to control everything incompetent type.    So it doesn’t appear to be in his coaching DNA not to be able to not put his thumbprint on everything.   

he probably could work if he was just an actual figurehead that hired good people and just let them do their thing.

Yup…hope these recent hires signal an adjustment in his approach. It will have to be for things to change. 

Both coordinators have HC experience (Tabor was interim for one game) and I hope Rhule will be smart enough to draw from that.

Yeah I seen Ellis the other week post something on Twitter from one of the training camp practices he went to this past year. He had a clip where Rhule was micromanaging everything on offense, it was bad. He has to quit that poo.

Maybe that was as much an indicator of Brady’s liabilities as Rhule’s micromanagement. If so, it may explain why he finally cut ties. No confidence in the offensive development. Not excusing Rhule - just connecting dots.

DaCHARLOTTE — The Panthers have found their new special teams coordinator, adding an experienced assistant whose units have performed well in recent years.

Carolina Panthers:

The team has agreed to terms with former Bears special teams coach Chris Tabor, who brings 14 years of NFL experience to the job.

Tabor spent the last four seasons with the Bears, after seven years as the Browns' special teams coach. He was previously an assistant special teams coach with the Bears.

Under his watch, the Bears have ranked in the top 10 of longtime NFL writer Rick Gosselin's special teams rankings each of the last two years.

The Panthers found some stability last year with kicker Zane Gonzalez (who hit 17 straight field goals prior to his pre-game injury in Buffalo), but he was one of four kickers they used from the start of the preseason. They also cycled through three punters last year. The Panthers ranked 28th in Gosselin's special teams rankings last year

That's where my thinking is as well.  I see two important assistant coaches being added with a lot of NFL experience.  It's something which was sorely lacking the last two seasons in Carolina.  If this is a sign that Rhule realizes he needs more talented guys around him, that's great.

Now I'll wait to see who the OL coach is and what the team does on draft day.  Another experienced hire and the #6 draft pick on a LT will go a long way toward getting me enthusiastic for next year.

That depends on whether such a lack of confidence was justified or whether it was just Rhule's overbearing micromanagement.

I'd have to look it up, but I think Brady actually had just a slight edge in NFL experience over Rhule (though not by much).

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
