When did you figure out Rhule was a fraud?

The DBO sign, I didn't think it at the time but as ex players came out talking about how just ridiculously juvenile it was while trying to reach grown men, I realized he was completely over his head and royally fuged.

I was against him from the first press conference.

Yeah, the DBO sign and all the arbitrary running and punishments that training camp was my moment.

Any success Rhule had in college was based on his ability to BS 18-year old kids.  In the pros, that is not a recipe for success.

Day One. I knew he was a fraud and my opinion never changed.

Anyone remember that press conference, can’t remember who signed I think it was CMC but he spilled the beans and tried to play it off even though the contract wasn’t announced yet lol.

I hate to say I gave him a chance through the start of year 3 and realizing we still were soft in the giants game. I thought we put a good showing in the second half of the browns game and we had potential.

I wouldn't say I called Rhule a fraud from the very first day that he was announced as the Panthers head coach,but bad past experiences of NFL teams hiring college coaches, led me to believe at the time he wouldn't be a good long term fit for the team.

When I started digging into his college background and saw that he'd only ever beaten two ranked teams, those being ECU and Navy.

To me it was when he was standing by his free agents last year.  It was clear we had better options and he kept sticking with Erving at LT. He wouldn't play Christensen at LT because he had short arms.  When Christensen finally played LT.  He actually played well for a rookie.

Plus, when we were eliminated from the playoffs he didn't give some of his younger players valuable time in the trenches.  Experience can't be undervalued and he didn't care.

All his chatter about sports science like it was something new, and then the green QB jerseys for practice because 'green means go' were massive red flags. Funny how we never heard anything else about the sport science because, shocker, the NFL was already all over it.

I don't know him well enough to know if he is a fraud.  Not even really sure if I know that the term means in this particular case.  I just know he did a terrible job as head coach of the Carolina Panthers, and I am glad he is no longer our coach.  

 

He does need to move on though and stopped sounding like a bitter jilted boyfriend.

When reporters were able to get close.  The 2nd camp/preseason.   It was evident going into year 2 he was a bullshitter and there was nothing really to him IMO.
