Will David Tepper admit he made a mistake when he finally fires Matt Rhule?

Disclaimer - I would genuinely love to be wrong about all of this. I’ll be first in line to eat my crow if the Panthers magically morph into a playoff contender this season!

—-

While I am hoping for the best outcome this season, I am expecting the worst. I have a rational brain and can’t escape the sting of cold hard facts. The evidence that Matt Rhule is a fraud who swindled a naive new NFL owner making his first head coaching hire is pretty substantial. That evidence compounds itself every season Rhule remains head coach of the Panthers.

What I’m getting at is, it’s pretty likely we’re in for another losing season. The schedule is much harder than in 2021 and I can’t see Rhule surviving another miserable year.

Will Tepper show any ounce of humility and admit he made a mistake hiring Rhule? Rhule was wildly unqualified for the role of head coach of an NFL team. He never beat a ranked team at Baylor and lacked the NFL connections to build a proper NFL coaching staff. As evidenced by the high turnover on the coaching staff year after year. 2022’s coaching staff is a another group of misfit coaches from the college and NFL ranks. 

Unless Tepper wants to see PSL sales plummet into the abyss and all the fancy “fan experiences” he’s trying to bilk out of the fans go unattended, Matt Rhule will have to go. A seasoned NFL advisor will need to be hired to clean up the mess. And Panthers fans will be yet again left hoping for better days.

Virtually every coach that gets hired in the NFL eventually gets fired, and the owners rarely admit they made a mistake.  

Big difference firing a coach who had some success and then their time runs out vs a coach who was given a top 10 head coach salary despite having only one year of NFL experiences as an assistant position coach

If it comes to that once he fires him that ACT in itself is admitting he failed. That’s not hard to see you hire someone who can’t do the job you fire them that means I didn’t hire the right guy I was wrong I must go find a guy that can. You don’t have to say anything actions speak volumes.

I would bet that a lot of head coaching hires get fired after 3-4 years.  The NFL has a very high turnover/failure rate.  For every Bill B or Sean Payton, there are 3 or 4 Matt Rhules or Bobby Petrino's, or George Seifert's.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
