What does firing rhule 4,5,6 games into the season accomplish?  If it gets to the point where he is fired then the season is a waste anyway at that point

It keeps the fans that are ready to turn off the Panthers as long as you're owner. I know he gets profit share from the TV deals, but how much money are you losing on your own "brand" by continually backing a losing product? Fans aren't incensed because we're losing. We've been there before. We're incensed because we as fans are right more often than a professional HC. We're riding the worst losing streak in the NFL and told the process is working 1000% but we just can't see it. Comments like this just insult the intelligence of fans and drive them away.

I've never been convinced Rhule would be fired this season unless they looked as completely hopeless as late last year, and the staff looked totally clueless again as to what to do about it.  Any perceived progress may be enough for them to continue with "the process."

That would be largely because Tepper has no idea how the business of an NFL team runs.

The rational reason for Tepper to wait is to play a game of chicken with Rhule and see if he leaves on his own for a college job.  That saves him a ton of cash, which is not a deal breaker for him, but if he can save a few million by waiting, why not? 

But I am not convinced either of them has a clue about an NFL franchise.

The only reason I think tepper is patient is that he pulled a Stephen Ross and told rhule to lose the final 7 games last year for draft purposes. We did start throwing in the towel once we were a game away from elimination for playoffs.

what I find funny, is that is what fans want but when they get it… it’s the coaches fault fire him. Who knows what’s really happening.

Shitty situation for any coach who is asked to lose. It’s a lose-lose-lose situation.

I'd call that wishful thinking.

Rhule isn't losing deliberately. He's losing because he's in over his head.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers

      I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
