His name shouldn't play any role.

With that said, it's not like Ron Rivera has exactly earned the benefit of a doubt when it comes to staffing decisions.

He's the head coach he can hire and fire whoever he wants for any reason he wants, there's no benefit of the doubt needed. Argue whether he should be a HC, sure. But he is.

I still find it hilarious how you all hate on a two time NFL coach of the year. Look at what is here now. What-everrrrrrr!

This is very valid but 99.9% of the fans here wanted Rivera gone. Be careful what you wish for as they say.

Rhule is terrible, but "coach of the year" is nothing special.

Take a look at the last twenty or so winners of that particular award and you'll see why.

Rivera needed to go.  Sometimes messages become stale and a change of scenery is necessary.  Getting rid of Ron wasn’t the problem, we just replaced him with a trash heap

Yep, everyone has a window.  Decent coaches too.  Ron is a decent coach.  He just isn't a great coach. 

It's much easier to do worse than Ron Rivera than better.   Same w/ Fox.  I consider them to be the same.

Fox and Rivera were very different people, but as coaches they had a lot of the same weaknesses.

Honestly so does Rhule, but without the strengths that Fox and Rivera possessed.

I mean, Fox and Ron were just decent coaches.  Flawed sure.  But they overall were decent NFL coaches.  Clear strengths and weaknesses. 

Rhule doesn't have a NFL strength IMO.  He has a college one. 

Rhule seem like a Dabo-wannabe.  And Dabo would be a horrible NFL coach.  Dabo's A+ schtick wouldn't work in the NFL.  And Rhule is bringing like a C game college schtick to the NFL.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
