Jon was a guest on my show yesterday— I thought he provided some interesting perspective on the power dynamics within that building. 

Still fascinating that final say on roster decisions are reportedly baked into his contract. You have to take the good with the bad, and there’s been plenty of bad, and some good. 

Here’s the full interview below, if you’re interested.

 

Thats what happens when a coach has leverage, and during the hiring process he had it whether it was warranted or not.

Also people need to realize this doesn't automatically absolve Fitt and/or Morgan of being responsible for some of the bad personnel decisions that have been made.

I seriously doubt Rhule is doing all of the leg work on his own.  For example, last offseason they all get together and decide they need free agent help at the LT position.  I would think Fitt and/or Morgan do most of the research, maybe one of them comes up with the idea of Erving and then Rhule has final say if he wants to veto it.

Tepper is even dumber than I originally imagined if everything stays status quo.

It's a cycle. 

Something happens -> I say something incendiary against Rhule/Tepper -> people on here call me negative, say it's ridiculous, poo on all of it -> it comes true in short order, the whole Huddle minus Shocker accepts it as fact -> Something else happens

I still don’t understand why an owner would give final say on personnel to someone who had zero experience on an NFL level.

Because he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Doing things differently is a way for him to show it.

Of course, that only works if he succeeds (which he isn't).

Does the "final say on the roster" include the final say on draft day and the picks that go with them?  Because if that is the case that is truly insane that Rhule has that authority. 

Per Jonathan, Matt has the final word on all Panthers roster moves.

But we know it's working 100,000% because he said so. What else do we need? Certainly tangible proof isn't necessary to dumb fans.

There is no hope as long as Rhule is here.

 

There has never been a time in franchise history that we had no hope.

Never. Even   Bossa Nova gave hope.

Here is the sad/scary part, I think that we may end up saying the same thing with "Tepper" in that sentence.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
