Rhule need to go back to college

Recommended Posts

there are now 5 openings at power 5 schools.  Hopefully he takes one in the next month or so.

He is a bad NFL coach.  And that’s a okay.  That can be said about a lot of college coaches.  2 different games.  He knows that now I think.  He isn’t going to come out of this.  He doesn’t belong here.  Better college coaches have realized this too.

We are in a bad situation. We have a coach that just doesn't have what it takes to be a an NFL coach and then we have an owner who doesn't have what it takes to make a tough decision and get rid of the coach who doesn't belong in the NFL due to owners who of not wanting to appear he was wrong. This is a huge issue as nothing can happen until Tepper admits he was wrong and just gets rid of the unqualified coach. I really don't understand the issue or ego with admitting you were wrong and working to correct it? That's just life and in life we all make mistakes and then when realized we correct and attempt to better a situation. Ignorance comes into okay when one is too hard headed to admit and their ego is so blown high that they end up hurting themselves worse due to just not wanting to ever appear wrong. This is a lethal combo we have here currently. Bad coach and owner who can't admit he was wrong.

The pressure is being ramped back up so I expect we will soon hear a lot worse from him.

When Rhule and Snow leave to go back to school it will be a great day. I'm not sure Tepper will fire Rhule before the big school openings are closed. He apears that petty and I can only imagine where he is at in the coping process of his epic and public failure at this point.

I think this sums up the situation, Waldo.

Tepper should be beyond the disbelief stage and probably past denial. Whether he is in the guilt/pain, bargaining, anger, depression, or acceptance phase is anybody's guess.  I'm thinking anger or depression, but that's just me.

I saw an article in the Arizona Republic (the big Phoenix newspaper) from about 3 days ago that was thinking Rhule was a leading name for the Arizona State job.  Tepper may want to consider offering to pay for a new building or two on campus if they hire him.

Tepper at anger should be interesting to see. I think if he was there Rhule would look like he did in week 17 last season. Tepper looks like a natural bargainer to me but either way it will probibly all get louder from here on out. Looks like the media smells blood and has already brought out the knives.

If Tepper fires Rhule, and Rhule gets a good college job, does that reduce the amount of money that Tepper owes him?

In a normal NFL coaching contract, yes.  The amount the Panthers owe him would be offset by all or a major portion of whatever his new job pays him.  Also, normally, the fired coach is required to actively seek another job.

What Rhule's contract says on those matters may be different, although I would hope not.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
