NFL Rumors: Matt Rhule, Panthers Viewed 'as a Lame Duck Situation' by NFL Coaches

[BlitzMonster]

"Rhule initially signed a seven-year deal with the team, although Person reported in December that owner David Tepper is embarrassed by the contract. 

Even if the coach remains for another season, he's clearly still on the hot seat heading into 2022."

No big deal, we just have to suffer for yet another year. Who is ready for another hot start, then the train wreck for the the other 13 games after that.

Lets hope so. Would love to see some accountability around here.

Other NFL owners are probably as happy as can be with Tepper as an owner right now. He allowed Marty Hurney to hire a college coach that never beat a ranked team before he was fired, has kept him despite his greatest success being back to back 5 win seasons. Nothing says wanting to win like 10-23. A .300 average is good in baseball I guess.

Meh..nothing new here.

The fans view it that way too

[Mr. Scot]

They're citing the interview Ellis did with Person.

Not exclusive to Rhule. Any coach that comes in and is as ineffective, if not disastrous, as he has been ends up in the same position.

Rivera was in a similar situation and survived (the first time anyway). We will see what Rhule has in year 3.

Yeah I’m embarrassed to wear any of my Panther gear. Everyone I see, says I wouldn’t be caught wearing that crap. I do anyway but damn can’t we go back before 2015 and start over!

I got news for you, if we can't attract good quality coaches, don't expect to be able to attract good quality free agents.

I'll bet we will get one or two good OL free agents because they want to work with Coach Campen.  He is well respected around the league.

Also a lot of FAs just want the money. If the money is right, they sign.

8-9 wins this year and everyone will be back on board with Rhule’s plan. We’ll see if we get strong enough qb play to get there. Doubtful but depends on who we draft/pick up.
