So what was it about Rhule that these guys gushed about him?

Who gushed?

I can recall Burns and McCaffrey offering public defenses but I wouldn't have called that "gushing".

The closest you likely got to enthusiasm came from Temple/Baylor guys like Robbie Anderson and Colin Thompson. Nobody should take those guys seriously.

maybe. i just don't know what kind of impact they have on the players, but maybe what they bring as a guru will compensate for anything they lack as a "leader of men" compared to Wilks. 

whoever it is, though...i don't want a 7 year contract offered to them. 5 years max. 3 years ideal.

They are both able to lead and build from there background. My problem with Wilks is my problem with Rhule. While Wilks is a better leader, he's not a guru in any field. I would be willing to take a shot if we can't reel in better talent. Also and no, no coach deserves 7 years unless they have won us a SB.

The team is still losing and figuring out ways to lose. I’ll pass unless wilks gets us to 7 plus wins. 
 

2-6 at the moment.  1-2 under wilks. Still kinda like old ways. 

Oh come on

The team weve seen the last 2 weeks has been far more entertaining than the team that started this season

Wilks straight up went to McAdoo and told him him what BS wasn't working, 3 weeks later the offense looks NFL caliber. Not a giant leap but Wilks has owned the fact that he has gone into every position meeting room and giving his perspective. Rhule just hired/fired/benched/unbenched every possible move while micromanaging the social media team to try to get people to stop booing him. Rhule was not able to lead and knew nothing about football. Wilks is an incredible leader and at least has a defensive concept that is helpful to bounce off the OC

Many assholes on the front page of this thread. This franchise was very successful by NFL standards before the Rhule/Tepper mess. Yes there were bad years but two Super Bowls and 4 NFC championship games to go with 8 playoff appearances is good. I don’t know what y’all are expecting pre-2018 other than a super bowl but we have been right at the doorstep.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
