Yes Tepper is still the owner, and that isn't ideal, but the fact that Rhule was still HC and doing so poorly left the possibility that he would STILL be around long enough to fug things up for next season. 

Now that he's gone, we don't have to worry about him being around to ruin things for the future. We can reset with a new HC and a high draft pick and look forward to the 2023 season. The draft will be exciting again and we have a shot at a top tier QB prospect. 

There are plenty of qualified HC candidates out there currently, the possibility of us choosing someone this bad again isn't likely since Rhule was historically terrible and we can really only go up from here. 

It's a brand new day in Pantherland.

No because I felt the same when Ron was canned and the man who hired Rhule is still in charge.

It's interesting to give an interim head coach this many games. Usually they're stuck with a few garbage games at the end of the year. Not that I expect anything to happen, but it's got to be a positive for Wilks

It's also pretty unique because Tabor (ST), Wilks (HC) and McAdoo (OC) are all brand new.  This is not like a typical interim that knows the system, well because we really don't have one haha

It’s a wonderful sense of immediately relief.  The boogeyman is finally out of the building.  Unfortunately, all of his minions remain and there’s no inkling of what what the hell Tep does next, so it’s only a flighting sense of peace.  

 

Just gonna ride the rest of the season and hope we don’t botch this next hire

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
