Was Rhule forced by Tepper to hire experienced coaches?

I’ve heard on WFNZ a couple times that Rhule hired experienced NFL guys only after Tepper forced him to do it. If true this would mean that Rhule didn’t learn from his mistakes, he just did what the owner demanded he do.

Also, is this considered meddling on the part of Tepper and if so are you guys ok with it. Remember it was Tepper who forced Ron to switch to a 3-4 defense.

That 3-4 foolishness needs to stop. 

Hiring a guy you have to micromanage into doing his job is insanity.

Suck it up and fire the dude buttercup.

How do you know you've hired the wrong guy as HC?  When (two years into his contract) you have to educate him on what qualifications to look for when hiring a coaching staff.

If Tepper told him to hire NFL experienced coaches then that is a positive. 

See first post for the correct answer.

Any owner that has to direct his HC to fire his hand picked assistants (and hire experienced NFL coaches) has the wrong HC.

Whatever it takes, as long as it's happening. Wouldn't surprise me.

The question has to asked, just like it was asked about Rivera. If the coach needs to be told how to coach, what's the point of keeping the coach? 

Just go ahead and get someone who can do the job without being told what to do and how to do it.

From what I hear, yes he was. This was part of the terms of him being retained another year. 

 

I think it will help. At least now they have people who know how pro practices are run. 

Is that not ridiculous though that the owner has to do that? Also, sadly I hear Tepper is involved in player evaluations as well and he has zero clue as to what he is talking about. It's not a good recipe. He is so addicted to getting a QB he is screwing our future. We are likely to trade for Wentz or Jimmy G because he cant help himself to wait a year and get Bryce Young/Cj Stroud. We will likely be in this same situation next year. Let's hope we don't trade away our #1 pick and ruin our cap for another trash QB.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 12 loss to 49ers

      He hasn't been the same since the head injury last year. I don't know if there are some lasting physical effects, or it's just mental. I hope he can get back to form, but I'm highly skeptical.
