Anger/annoyance aside, I’d say playoffs or 9 wins. He has not been a good NFL coach. He has proven to be a good college coach. For me, the most important part will be showing improvement. That can be improvement on the basis of wins or showing better judgement towards players, coaches, and just mentality towards the game as a whole. If I see good improvement that shows learning, I’m okay with keeping him as long as he continues to be reassessed.

He will need to make the playoffs, while making the roster continue to get better each and every week.

Starting fast, only to run out of gas after 5 games....he's a goner.

He doesn't have to win a playoff game, but he needs to be competitive.

This is a good point. The schedule going to be really key, especially when the Tampa games are. Rhule needs a good December.

The team needs to look good week in and week out.  I understand that everyone...even the best can poo the bed...but he needs 12 good to great games, not 3 good games.

After watching Ron Rivera become Riverboat Ron and seemingly change his ways only to revert back to who he was and has always been, there’s literally nothing this guy can do this year to convince me he’ll be any good for the next 5-10. There’s a reason the saying exists “A leopard can’t change his spots.” Beware the fleeting hot seat changes we may see in Rhule this year.

Improvement and 9 wins. That is the bar and is fair and also achievable. It’s put up or shut up time. 

Anything less, he needs to be canned immediately.

I voted same.  But with the state of the NFC versus the AFC I need to change to playoffs if not deep run into playoffs.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
