Is Tepper trying to humiliate Rhule?

Tepper gave him a third season for better or what has turned out to be worse. He probably figured he’d let him try to dig himself out of the mess he made. The hole is getting deeper and we’re all here to witness what it looks like to enter the NFL hell that the likes of fans of the Jets, Browns, Lions, etc, experience every year.

No Tepper just wants to say he gave Rhule a fair shot. It’s hard to sit at the other side of the table to defend your job when you had 3 years to do it. It also makes other HC candidates feel more comfortable, so they know you aren’t going to yank them out of their office after their first bad game.

Lol this is probably the most likely explanation.

Hardly, he’s applying the Steelers’ Coach philosophy, “never fire”.

Unfortunately for us, Tepper is retaining Rhule and not Knoll,Cower, or Tomlin.

Stubborn adherence to a rule that doesn’t really exist.

Check out Noll’s record of wins and losses especially the first three…

Noll also took over a franchise that had never played in the postseason before. In almost 40  years. And the only way to build a team was the draft. No FA. So it took longer. No comparison to now.

Gotta be honest....

How many good coaches would look at this situation and get excited?

Bad owner, no QB, possible new GM who you don't know.

I don't see Sean Payton, or anyone like him lining up for this one, unless Tepp overpays again.

I think at this point we should tank the season and get legit QB for the future.

I think that could be the inevitable outcome no matter if we try or not.

Purposely tanking never seems to work.  The Dophins tried that and couldn't pull it off a few years ago.  No matter how hard a team tries to be inept, some other team will be more inept just on its own merits.  Unfortunately, I think we are that "some other team."

Dolphins have looked pretty good this year. They traded away a bunch of assets in 2019 for draft picks. It  just took some time for it to come to fruition. The Tua injury might derail them, but I would push back on the idea they "couldn't pull it off".

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
