I disagree. He's so confrontational. This was not the right type of person to own a team in the city of Charlotte or in the Carolinas.

Lol no he wasn’t. Tepper wrote the checks Rhule cashed and had to pay him out the rest of that ridiculous contract he gave him. Fitterer didn’t have anything to do with it

Some names to add: Byron Leftwich - Bucs OC Thomas Brown - Rams assistant head coach Kellen Moore - Cowboys OC

I have no doubt that Tepper is ready to open up his wallet to hire a proven offensive coach to right the ship. Personally I'm against it because I don't think Payton has the same motivation to prove himself as he did early in his career with Brees. He'd just be an older has-been collecting a fat paycheck from a former division rival of his. I feel the same way about Dan Quinn. I'd like to see a younger, hungry coach from a good organization come in and build it up. Demeco Ryans should be a serious candidate. Ken Dorsey is probably too young and inexperienced, but I think he deserves an interview. There are still some good assistants on the Rams that could be worth interviewing as well. I hope Tepper takes this interview process more patiently than he did the last one. He didn't even get through interviewing all the candidates he had scheduled before he hired Matt Rhule. Kevin Stefanski and Josh McDaniels were scheduled to interview after they made an offer to Rhule in January 2020.

There’s no downside to bringing him back. The offense is legitimately awful. Cam can at least put a couple TDs on the board a game usually. He’s better than any of the QBs on the roster, yet again.

Baker hurt, Darnold hurt, Corral hurt, PJ the only healthy QB right now. Rhule gone, Cam coming back?

A season too late

Came here to post something similar. If this team was 4-1 and the team looked good, the fanbase would be excited, the stadium would be full of fans….it would be a whole different vibe. Unfortunately the Panthers are a miserable 23-47 since Tepper bought the team, and 11-27 under his handpicked head coach. No quicker way to kill an already fickle and fair weather fan base than a stubborn owner holding onto a wildly unqualified head coach for longer than he reasonably should.

He put the logo at midfield and painted the end zones black? That's about all I got.

join the club

I am, like everyone else here, ready for Matt Rhule to be fired. He should have been fired after last season's disastrous 7 game losing streak to finish the season. But alas, here we are with another disaster season incoming. I agree that it's not the right time to fire him. It's too early in the season and there's really not much to be gained from waiting until at least December. 80% of the staff are guys who are connected to Rhule in some way, so even if you fire Rhule, there's still a vast majority of the staff that are loyal to him. They obviously won't be cleaning house mid-season, so I'm not sure what's to be gained there. There needs to be at least a skeleton crew to coach on gameday. This season is going to finish ugly either way. I don't see how letting Steve Wilks or Ben McAdoo ride this ship into the depths of hell is any better than just letting the guy who got us here do it. The captain should go down with his ship. Next season I really hope the vibe around this team is different. Tepper has made some massive mistakes, and they seem to be compounding (Tepper should understand how that works). A highly drafted rookie QB with an NFL caliber coaching staff could really bring the fanbase back.

Is not a question of “if” he will be fired this season, it’s “when”

He will get fired. I don’t expect it to happen until the bye week.

Derrick Brown has turned a corner

Snow is basically Rhule’s mentor. There’s a rumor that whenever Tepper tries to talk to a Rhule, he brings Snow along. Snow will have to be fired too.

You’ve had literally every second after you made the account to change the name yet you haven’t.

You definitely need a name change you look like a f*cking retard with a username of a player that not only doesn’t play for the Panthers but is also misspelled

That’s not a ringing endorsement to hire an old coach. Young guys want to prove themselves for better or worse. Old guys don’t have that same motivation. It’s why I think QBs like Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson are playing like garbage. They have fat ass contracts and previous success to hang their hats on. No motivation to win. I think a coach like Ryans who learned under Kyle Shanahan (a coach with a burgeoning coaching tree) would be a great idea. That means the Panthers definitely won’t do it.

Can you name a coach if advanced age who was hired as a head coach for the first late in his career who won a superbowl? I really can’t think of any.

There’s a reason if you’re an old coach that you haven’t gotten a head coaching gig yet and it’s probably because you aren’t good enough

Sign me up I’m in.

I think they should keep him until the end of the year to guarantee the #1 overall pick but advocate everyone get massively f*cked up every Sunday on mescaline so they are cool with the losing

This thread is literally about firing a white guy! You need to look into CJ’s history before you come at me about black men stereotypes. Side key I railed all last season about how awful the Darnold trade was and that’s white on white crime. Don’t make this sh*t about race.

I’ve smoked tons of pot in my life, my original username on the huddle was ganja! Maybe you should be the PR/video marketing guy for these losers. It’s ok everyone, we suck! But if you smoke weed, you won’t care and you’ll just be really into Peter Tosh

Literally everyone is blaming the white men running this team. There’s plenty of black en playing on the field to blame too!
