Rhule came in, shooed away Panther legends, tried to erase the Panther culture of keep pounding, all in only 3 years. Worst HC in NFL history.

He is not the worst in history but he was a predictable flop.  College coaches don't belong trying to run NFL football teams.  It doesn't work.  A guy needs some kind of street cred for gorwn athletes making millions to buy in.  But even more important the guy needs an NFL staff.  And if a guy is a college football lifer, he will most likely lack the connections to get the staff that he needs to succeed.

The idea that college coaches can jump up to the NFL should have died already.  The main thing that keeps teams trying it is Pete Carroll.  News flash...Pete Carroll is not a college coach.  Pete is an NFL coach that spent some time in major college football.  Wrap your mind around that and guys like Matt Rhule will never happen again.

Definitely true.  But other players were less Publicly supportive. Not saying he did request a trade because Rhule was fired, but the timing would fit a request for one reason or another

I wonder if his teammates got sick of the fact that he was constantly on the sidelines?

Also the former DMVP has to be Kuechly, right? He was around the building for a year or so under Rhule's tenure. 

Peppers was working with the team too, IIRC, since he retired.  Could've been one or any combo of Kuechly, Pep, and/or Gilmore.  And it doesn't surprise me one bit...  every one of those guys distanced themselves pretty quickly under the Rhule regime.  I think they all saw it wasn't going to reflect well on anyone associated with them.

Shaq also said superbowl winner so I’m thinking it was Gilmore 

I will say in the interviews I watched last season from Gilly he seemed over it from very early on.  Again, I think these accomplished guys saw all the amateur poo going on and just rode it out or left.  I think the only reason Gilmore entertained coming back is because it was home, and he did share before that it was a dream for him to come back and play for his hometeam. Was probably hoping Rhule would get canned early if he did.

Just a friendly reminder of what Rhule is.

Matt Rhule is the single worst thing to ever happen to the Panthers. This roster, even with all the trades and QB problems, is a playoff roster. Rhule just chucklefuged the entire operation for almost 3 season. fug that asshole.

CMC was publicly a big supporter of Rhules. It's possible he requested a trade when we fired Rhule...  I can't imagine him having Been a distraction though,  we didn't see any blow ups like with Robby.

You think CMC was a bigger supporter of Rhule than he was of the organization? It always seemed forced to me, anytime he said something nice about Rhule.

CMC has always been the most vanilla say the right thing to the media player I can remember. I really doubt him getting traded had anything to do with his personal feelings about Rhule

Nah, but it's possible he wanted out when he saw our direction of being 1-5 and firing our HC.

Tepper needs to take a long look in the mirror and admit he does not possess the judgment or ability to call shots like he has been and humble himself to looking for help. That includes NOT being lazy and sticking with wilks barring a playoff win. Because he likely isn’t the answer. The sooner he does that the quicker we can turn around. 

He is inept. he’s solidified the worst stretch in franchise history. One more move like Rhule and you can bet the culture will engrained itself and there will be a point of no return. The browns have done it, lions too. And at that point, it’s incredibly hard to turn things around.

Christian just wants the ball as much as possible and Rhule's the best man for that job.

From Shaq's comments I take it Rhule pushed the old guard aside to assert his authority while giving his favorites free reign to do whatever. Robby was allowed to act out unchecked and Christian got the ball every snap whether it was working or not.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
