Official Matt Rhule has been fired watch...

[Randolph Panther]

Won’t Rhule get paid most of his contract even if he is fired now. I think it would benefit both sides to move on sooner rather than later so he will be ready to take a college job next year. Let Wilks coach the team and mcadoo coach the offense

Well, don't turn it over the McAdoodledoodledoo.

That guy had no game plan today.

Clean house, let the players coach themselves until the next guy comes along.

He must have jizzed on his play book and got the pages stuck together.

Fire Rhule and beg Like to come fill in as coach rest of the season. Hopefully he gets the coaching bug and likes it. If he likes it offer him a contract and build a staff for him.

Supposed to say "Luke". I wasn't joking by the way. This guy may be a damn football genius God. What better way to find out than to get him as interim coach and see how the players take to him while seeing if effort goes up and just general in game coaching decisions get smarter. If he would decide to be a coach (I don't think he is interested unfortunately though) it could be a perfect storm and there is NO WAY IN HELL he is worse than Rhule. My money is on he is significantly better and also coaches with a fire Rhule couldn't have while also having major respect of th players due to him being there just recently and him knowing what they all go through while also doing it at a very high level when he did do it.

One thing that might help this year is that we have a couple of coaches who can easily step in as HC. Wouldn’t mind seeing Tabor as HC, keep McAdoo as OC and do Wilks or Holcomb as DC. Or Wilks as HC.

How many games is the earliest in the season that an NFL coach has ever been fired?

I'm thinking Meyer might have set the mark last year.

We have the Giants on the road and then Saints at home next two up.  If we are 0-3 at that point with the schedule only getting harder, Tepper should pull the trigger.  Will he?  Probably not.  Tepper will run this organization further into the ground trying to prove that Rhule was not a bad hire.

George Allen was fired after 2 preseason games in 1978

Jack Patera was only two games into his seventh year with the Seahawks in 1982 

Joe Collier only made it two games into the 1968 (AFL) season before the Bills fired him.

Hugo Bezdek was fired by the Rams after just three games into the 1938 season

I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that losing to the Giants will be the last of Matt Rhule in Carolina

Only problem being Tepper--"brass balls Tepper"-- is a little attached to his boy Rhule.  You would think a hedge fund guy would be somewhat ruthless, personal feelings aside.  After all, business is business.

[ladypanther]

It makes no sense that he fired the soccer coach so quickly, yet has stuck with Rhule who has done nothing to show he can lead an NFL team.

[tgrfan01]

still shaking my head..he played to run off clock and for the fg against a team who had all three of their time outs remaining...DERP

[YourLastThought]

You guys do realize Rhule is NOT getting fired any time soon right? As much as I wish that were not the case this guy may be here the WHOLE DAMN SEASON but I am willing to bet he wouldn't be fired until at least about 12 or 13 games into the season and that is a HUGE MAYBE. I'm guessing his goofy ass lasts the whole year unfortunately!

The boo birds were out in force you could clearly hear that yesterday.

Community support for Rhule is almost zero.

Tepper would be well respected by everyone including Rhule who would go away skipping happily away with a fortune.

He's probably been expecting the ax. Where are the brass balls NOW? Oh, prosthetic brass balls on a desk aren't as tough as real balls huh?

 

[Panthering]

I think Rhule is getting this entire season no matter what so if and when the axe comes it'll be on Bloody Monday with all the other firings.

I really tried to give Matt Rhule a chance but I keep seeing the same mistakes ever since he was hired in 2020. Run defense is still terrible, penalties, clock management, and the team looked unprepared. I think this team has talent we just need the right coach. I also believe that if Rhule is fired this year we are 100% drafting a QB in 2023 even if we have to move multiple draft picks to move up and get one.
