MATT RHULE FIRED

Tepper trying to dance around the 7-year contract.  Without saying it, basically said he gambled (and lost) and would do more a 'traditional' contract next time.

Big question (long winded version by reporter) about tanking (wihtout saying the word "tanking": Tepper wants to win now.  Not that he would say the tank is on publicly anyway.

Just in time to win the division. Although y’all may have trouble with the unofficial don’t tackle Tom Brady rule.

How close can you get to him?  Is it like the college "halo" rule used to be for punt returns, if you get within x distance of him the flags fly?

The halo is apparently bigger when Jerome Boger is throwing the flag.

It is the Tom Brady…. Er,, Ah , Flag football rule.  You have to pull his towel.

What a clown

 

This is why we sucked so bad, we had a guy with very little football knowledge putting his hands on everything. 

Tepper could have just had a raffle on the Huddle for the next HC and had as much success as we did with Rhule. For every two steps we took forward, he made sure to make us take 3 steps back.

Firing the coach of a decent performing D but keeping the coach of a putrid performing O is the type of move that Wilks got fired for when he tanked for Muray in Arizona.

Its a good question.  Why would he do that?

Wilks got fired in Arizona largely because they’re a sh-tty organization.

David Tepper was wise to not delay the inevitable with Matt Rhule

Plenty of successful businesspeople can’t quite figure out how to run a successful football team. Some business principles, however, translate very well to football.

Case in point — when you know that you’re going to move on from a key employee, there’s no reason to delay the inevitable.

That’s what Panthers owner David Tepper has done. He decided that coach Matt Rhule would eventually be fired, so Tepper did it now.

Beyond the obvious fact that there’s no reason to wait, the move puts Rhule immediately in play for one of the various head-coaching jobs that will be available at the college level. With the Panthers getting a dollar-for-dollar credit against Rhule’s buyout on what he makes elsewhere, it’s in Tepper’s financial interests to put Rhule in position to have a land rush for his services.

There likely will be one. He’s been excellent at the college level. At the NFL level, like so many other great college coaches, not so much.

By making the move now, it means not as much of Tepper’s money will be going to Rhule in the form of a buyout.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
