Yeah, he walked on as a player at Penn State and turned around two college programs without knowing what a football looked like. Jesus.

Not every head coach is a good X's and O's guy. I think it's pretty clear Rhule is definitely not an adept scheme guy. More of a motivational speaker/CEO type.

I bet if Rhule is fired and Snow goes with him Wilks will be the new DC. Snow even said that he and Wilkes think alike. I think Wilkes was chosen so he can be our next DC if Snow leaves or retires. Snow isn't exactly a spring chicken.

It is interesting they tapped into two flameout NFL HC's in this round of hiring.

If Rhule goes, anybody that came with him from Baylor/Temple needs to go with him.

I would presume that if Rhule goes everyone goes save possibly Fitterer and that's not a given. 

I suppose I could conceivably see a scenario where someone would take over at some point in season. That would certainly make it uncomfortable for Rhule's guys if that were to happen.

Based on what we've seen and heard this offseason, I don't think Fitterer's fate is tied to Rhule at all.

Lots of coaches have had success one place and flamed out elsewhere when they changed jobs and added responsibility. Wilks did a decent job for us and likely learned from his time in Arizona.  We dont want him for head coach right now, he is our secondary coordinator and will add much needed experience at making adjustments and mixing coverages to help Snow manage the backside on game day.  And McAdoo's value  is based on his system and his playcalling. I haven't heard many critics suggest he didn't know how to run an offense or get the most out of his quarterback.

Yeah, those are two guys that not many seemed to want even after they had success as AC's or coordinators. I kind of get it with McAdoo because of how badly he performed as a HC but I always sort of felt like Wilks got a raw deal.

Either way, glad to have actual NFL experienced coaches on the staff for a change.

Yeah, Tepper and Nicole clearly stay plugged in with Panthers twitter for better or for worst and they have made it known they are aware of the support and love the fanbase gives to Fitterer, memes and all.

Ding ding ding. 

Doubt Rhule wanted to hire former HCs to begin with when his seat is hot and he's rumored to have one foot out of the door anyway by his own choosing. They were probably part of a list of names given to him and he was told to hire "qualified" candidates who could replace not only him, but Snow as well. McAdoo and Wilks are the HC/DC candidates in waiting to finish out the season when Rhule inevitably gets shitcanned and Snow follows him back to college. 

Wilks could be named HC tomorrow and probably have more respect in the locker room than Rhule does. McAdoo is at least a name. I'm sure Snow, and even Rhule in some capacities are well-liked...but doesn't mean they have the respect of the players as NFL coaches.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
