I don’t understand why we’d fire him

let that man lead the panthers to the #1 overall pick

Agree let him keep driving our record down for a while. Fire him with like 2 or 3 weeks left to get a head start on the search and tell the interim coach the last 2-3 games to play only young guys so the tank continues

It's possibkle that Tepper is also rattled, not used to a city being put out with hime and is so careful about doinh the right thing that he is missing the necessary thing.

I've been a bit surprised at how little criticism goes toward the GM.  There have been some quwstionable trades, lost compensation and weak drafts.  If that's because he's been overruled, it makes sense.  But if he's been a key influencer on the QB decisions and in season trades, he needs to be evaluated as well.

Not to be a cynic but the amount of hell fire that would come raining down on Tepper from the “if Matt Rhule was black, he would have been fired after year one” crowd in the media might just be enough to force Tepper’s hand if he likes it or not.

You better believe it Rhule somehow didn’t get fired if we go 1-16, Stephen A and a lot of others in the media would start bringing race in the equation.  

I can see it now. “Black assistants and coordinators aren’t getting head coaching jobs but Matt Rhule still has a job.” 
 

im not a fan of bringing the race card up, but if that’s what it takes to get Rhule fired, I’m all for it.

    • He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.   
    • zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious 
    • Ran across this bit of fun. As seen on https://www.thesportinggent.com/blogs/dispatches/front-porch-musings-field-ethos-journal (a blog for outdoors gear and clothing)
