Rapoport: Tepper to be patient with Rhule

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.
