He is not currently coaching. Tony White is the DC at Nebraska.

Well there ya go. I know nothing about White, so there's a great possibility my prediction is completely wrong. It wouldn't surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me to be right. Only surprise would be if Rhule leads them to the college playoffs.

That's a good prediction. We will see.... No one has really turned it around there yet.

There was a rumor Cam had degenerative arthritis in his throwing shoulder which was the real reason he sat out the 2019 season. That shoulder injury in 2016 really f*cked him up. I don’t fault the decision to move on from Cam, he was never the same player again, but replacing him with an overpaid noodle arm like Bridgewater was just a bad look.

I mostly agree.  I mean Bridgewater to me was a guy you sign when you have a team that can compete for a SB and you need a high level backup.  And there was a good chance Cam's career was done.  But I just didn't understand how signing Bridgewater was part of the "process".  The best bet was to go with Cam for his final year, and if he really was done, draft someone.  The moves they made were baffling to say the least.  

Looking back, I think Rhule felt that he was such a great coach, that he could take a average qb and win superbowls.

I supported this guy like no other.  Even in his last season here I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and wanted the team to succeed under him.

That being said. . . he's just a moron.  How in the world did he ever have success at Baylor and Temple is beyond me.  Good luck Nebraska.

He could have success at Nebraska. Being a college coach is just vastly different than being an NFL coach these days.  Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, etc... excelled in college and failed in the pros.  Rhule is a salesman, and can sell himself to recruits.  That alone gives him a shot at being a winning coach in college.  But in the NFL, being a salesman doesn't matter so much.

Yikes. Honestly feel bad for the players that were on that team. 

Bless those who stuck with the Panthers and their teammates, saying the "right" things when asked, keeping it all on the down low and out of the press no matter what they really thought. Like Shaq Thompson. It must've been extremely stressful with the COVID lockdown and Rhule combined.

This pretty much sums up my attitude

Man, Bridgewater would have been fine for two seasons of building the team. The real screwing up started with running him off after a year. Seriously, how bad was two years of him going to be given where the team was?

Bridgewater may have told Rhule something that sparked that. How impatient was Tepper for a QB? That was a possibly factor. 

But really analyzing the missteps of a guy would couldn’t learn to be an NFL level HC, after he is gone, kind of pointless.
On his positive side there is a higher level of talent that was achieved last year, it was almost tangible. On paper the secondary was pretty covered, OL came on and got pretty good, top third maybe. So some things were getting figured out. Maybe he really did need 7 years.

Completely unrealistic though. I think the team exceeded some expectations in his 1st year, and that got them thinking maybe they were closer than they really were. That little 3-0 start the next year just added to the fool's gold, and when reality settled in he was hopelessly over his head.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
