Luke Decock calling out Rhule

Panthers revert to form after being on verge of winning the kind of game they often lose

 

 

Quote

Then the Panthers contrived to screw it up anyway, becoming the first team to lose an opener to the Cleveland Browns in almost a generation and finding, in the end, a way to lose the same game they keep losing over and over again. And as much as people will point to a questionable roughing-the-passer penalty on Brian Burns that jump-started the Browns’ winning drive and set up their long-range field goal for a 26-24 win, much of the blame lies where it so often does, on a head coach who managed to both settle for a field goal and leave too much time on the clock at the end, a pair of decisions that came back to bite him on each cheek.

This is my fav line:

Quote

There’s a gym class somewhere missing Matt Rhule, whose team managed to look like 53 guys who were meeting for the first time in the first half only to be let down, once they figured things out, by their coach’s decision-making at the most critical moment in the second.

Quote

The Browns had run the ball almost at will all day, but with no timeouts, they were stuck relying on Jacoby Brissett to take them down the field. The Panthers thought they had a better chance of stopping Brissett than trying to punch the ball in themselves. A 58-yard field goal later, they found themselves in the wrong. Rhule even walked away with a timeout in his pocket after the Panthers got the ball back with 8 seconds to go, for all the world looking like a guy pulling a Full Costanza after finding out the Nebraska job was open. If the Panthers had any trophies, he’d be dragging them around the parking lot right now. That, at least, would have been a Rhule decision fans could get behind.

Have nothing else to add. Dude NAILED what everybody is thinking.

Maybe Nebraska will go after him. It’s a hope. This team isn’t going anywhere with him around. 

[Smithers]

Stephen A Smith ripped Rhule the other day as well.  Today was pretty inexcusable.  I’ve defended Rhule before, but the list of coaching mistakes today is very long and unforgivable imo

It's sad we have to waste yet another year of football, but here's to hoping this may finally be the intriguing job that will pry Rhule from us.

As I said before, even if a few things look better because of Campen/Tabor/McAdoo/etc, what doee Rhule himself actually bring to the table? Only been one game but Rhule did Rhule once again even after a supposed off-season of learning and growth.

This is one of the better games they’ve played with him as head coach and they still managed to completely fug it up.

He usually write college stuff...UNC/Duke.  The Observer is a little shorthanded so at ties he spill over to the Panthers.

I said in Feb last year that if he was retained it was gonna be a new low point for this franchise and that is saying something because we’ve had a bunch. 3 years in man and he just doesn’t get it. 
 

Nebraska is a really good job. And it would be far away from Charlotte. He is supposed to specialize in rebuilds and that program has been dead for 25 years.
