Rhule: We don't need to make any changes, we just need to battle through it right now.

We are going to have to change coaches like we change underwear until we find the right one. It was time for Ron to go and it was unfortunately never time for Rhule to be here. He should have been let go last year but Tepper sounded as if he was hell bent on proving to everyone that he was right in his hiring choice. Who knows, if we continue to lose maybe Tepper will get a clue this season and let him go then clean house with rest at end of season since many are Rhule guys. I wouldn't keep many at all from this entire staff. 

Agree and my biggest concern with Carolina is Tepper. I wish he would just write checks and stay out of everything but this isnt how he operates.

By this logic do you want to hang onto Rhule because we could potentially do even worse?

To be fair, this very well might be what Tepper is thinking. 😂

Carolina has a 9 game losing streak which is worst stretch in the NFL. I’m not sure it can get much worse.

It feels like some weird dynamic between Tepper and Rhule holding the firing of Rhule up. Maybe money, maybe ego. Tepper didn’t hesitate to make quick decisions for the new training facility, Charlotte FC coaching (which actually looks like the correct move) etc. Something’s up here. I didn’t buy that he’s ok with this. He really hates loosing at anything.

Tepper called Rhule his Chuck Knoll. He comes from the Steelers who notoriously give their coaches plenty of time to figure things out. This has more to do with pride than money for Tepper.

Yup and Tepper absolutely loathes the fans that complain about his decisions. He will not do anything that will make the fans happy unless he has no other choice when it affects his pocket directly.

I agree with this. I think Tepper truly believes he is some sort of genius level guy that just sees things that aren't there. I'm sure this is spurned by his business successes where he stayed the course and was proven right.

Well, this is the NFL. He doesn't have the football acumen to realize what everyone else already has, Matt Rhule will never be a successful head coach in the NFL. He could get 3-4 more years of NFL experience and he still wouldn't know how to be successful in the NFL. It's not in him and he isn't a real football guy like he makes himself out to be.

I think you are right. He’s at the point where everyone else knew it and said it out loud two years ago. The firing of Rhule is him admitting he was wrong and everyone else was right. And that’s why he won’t fire Rhule until we are mathematically out of the playoffs. Which should help our draft position I guess.

On the flip side of that he was reported to be one of the minority owners who wanted to fire Tomlin. Which is just fuging insane so I don’t think he’s gonna give Rhule one more year if he doesn’t make the playoffs. Which we won’t. I’d fire Scott too tbh. Get a GM or give Morgan the promotion and let the GM have the most power to pick a HC.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
