Does 0-2 put Rhule’s seat red hot?

[PanthersGTI]

No doubt. I'm always optimistic in the off-season but 0-2 is undeniable and I don't think Tepper hesitates making a change mid season if it continues to slide from there. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

We had a Cleveland team that was set up for a defeat, We have the last place NYG from the NFCE last year and three more home games against rival N.O. and Arizona, SF from the NFCW.  If we come out of this 0-5 or 1-4.  Tepper better pull the plug or we're going to see a riot in Panther Country.

Honestly, and this is bad to say, but if a loss today is the beginning of the end for Rhule as our HC, I won't be mad with the 'L.'

[PghPanther]

There may be a possible bond between Rhule and Tepper that extends beyond the grid iron which might provide him a longer leash than most would have in this situation..... and as long as the NFL marketing machine and the Panthers continue to increase Tepper's return on investment it may continue to extend this professional relationship longer than most of you would care for................and that's all I'll say on the subject.

We're not going 0-2, were going 19-1. The Bake Show gets rolling today!

no NFL coach just gets 4-7 years.  You still have to earn it. 

the stadiums will empty, the season tickets they so want to bump the price on won't sell, etc. 

 

The lion's share of the NFL owners return on investment isn't driven by the lemming fans.............Covid empty stands should have made that clear .........nobody was in attendance then and yet their team values still increased.........

Folks the world is a conjob.........ask the bankers..........and for the most part so are pro and big time college sports........anywhere there is big money there is the big con.

Should be, but nothing will happen. Rhule is still owed like $43 million. I doubt David Tepper would piss 43 million away for sake of potentially winning some football games. I am afraid we're stuck with him so we might as well grit our teeth, support the team, and weather the storm. 

 He already pissed away 62 million by hiring Rhule.

I would also point out that "winning some football games" is the number one goal of having a team. Supporting a team that doesn't do that would be pretty goofy.

My answer for the last week: It should. My answer today: It will! 

Just call it a sixth sense. Tepper won't take too much more of this. If we lose, the end is near.

[MHS831]

I do not understand those saying he gets a few extra years due to his contract.  I mean, eating $8m per year is not as bad as losing for 10 years as a team--what that does to ticket sales, merchandising, the brand, etc.  If we lose 10 games this season, time to move on.--if not sooner.

[Cary Kollins]

Yeah, it’s not like we’re losing to the Chiefs and Bills.

I figured out how to get beyond that…

Or just stop wasting our time watching this dumpster fire of a team, stop wasting our money buying merchandise or at bars watching them, and probably feel happier and less stressed until changes are made...

The money is a sunk cost. He brought Rhule here to build a winning culture and team and if that isn't happening and continues to look unlikely as it does now, then he's only losing money (such as from fans etc) and more importantly a chance at success by keeping him.  If he's committed to winning then it doesn't matter what he's paying him really.
