Was Rhule forced by Tepper to hire experienced coaches?

I think one of the unforeseen benefits of having a more extensive history in the NFL as opposed to coming in pretty much off the street (which is essentially what Rhule did) is having a network. Rhule had none, which is why he went with what he was familiar with....coaches and players from colleges he had coached himself. 

And also why he went for Darnold. How many teams had Rhule interviewed before? Well 2018 there was the colts. Next year the Jets, then us the following to year. 

Thats also about the limit of his familiarity with teams and players in the pros. Yeah, sure there was that season where he was the ass line coach an eternity ago.

But his limited experience and familiarity with players in the league brought him back to really the only QB in the NFL he didn't coach that he had any familiarity with, Sam Darnold. 

The smaller your circle, the smaller your world. Small world translates to limited ability to compete in a bigger world.

Makes a lot of sense...

Posted this summary elsewhere but it applies here as well...

FIRED

OC Joe Brady (hired as QB Coach - Bills)
OL Coach Pat Meyer (hired as OL Coach - Steelers)
DL Coach Frank Okam (still unemployed)
ST Coordinator Chase Blackburn (still unemployed)

LATERAL MOVES

WR Coach Frisman Jackson (Steelers)
TE Coach Brian Angelichio (Vikings)
Assistant OL Coach Tony Sparano Jr (Giants)
Secondary Coach Jason Simmons (Raiders)

NEW HIRES

OC Ben McAdoo
WR Coach Joe Dailey (McAdoo connection)
TE Coach Kevin Gilbride Jr (internal promotion)
OL Coach James Campen (McAdoo connection)
Assistant OL Coach Robert Kugler (Campen connection)
DL Coach Paul Pasqualoni
Secondary Coach Steve Wilks
ST Coordinator Chris Tabor

___________________________

Only Blackburn and Okam haven't been picked up at this time. Okam isn't a shock. Wait and see on Blackburn.

Here's an update I wasn't expecting to see...

Okam joins Josh McDaniels staff in Vegas 

(gotta wonder if maybe Jason Simmons put in a good word for him)

So at this point, three of the four coaches Matt Rhule fired have found new jobs. Only Chase Blackburn remains unemployed.

      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.
