Rivera?  Hell no.  Rhule?  100000%

Agree on Rivera.

Rhule? We genuinely don't know yet.

His coaching philosophy has always been to put players in a position to succeed.  Good enough for me

You ever watch Restaurant Impossible? I’d imagine Robert Irvine has never owned a successful Southern food restaurant, so why is he called to help turnaround a a floundering Southern food restaurant in BF, Georgia? Because he has shown the ability to continually help unsuccessful restaurants become successful. 

Anyone who continuously spouts this “we have no idea what Rhule will do” is ”genuinely” turning a blind eye to the turnarounds he led at two basement dwelling programs. I get that is not the NFL, but it shows an ability to coach players up and put them in positions to succeed on the field. What more could you ask for in the Panthers’ situation?

[Verge]

You are always so negative.

Rivera has a history of sticking with underperforming vets and not developing youngsters. Rhule has a history is doing exactly what he preaches .  No comparison.

I certainly hope you're right.

Yes, it was college, and smaller colleges at that.

Plenty of guys who were very successful in college couldn't make it in the pros. Take Steve Spurrier, Chip Kelly, oh and some guy named Nick Saban.

I'm absolutely hoping that Rhule is just as good at the pro level, but we really don't know.

Did I say he couldn't do it or did I say we don't know whether he can do it?

It's not negativity. It's caution. I'm not someone who likes to count my chickens before they hatch.

How many times have we seen a player get drafted for a post only to be misused? On paper that front four can be great but not if theyre sitting on the bench. If the safety plays just safety he would be fine, but hurney chiming in with his project bullshit.

Sounds like you have a case of Riveraitis. Fortunately we have a much more creative and modern coaching staff now

Ah. Well...can't argue that.

We're gonna use them whether we like it or not because we don't have the depth not to.  That said Rhule's MO is he takes players and helps coach them up, so its time for him to put up or shut up.

[BurnHurnBurn]

Got no clue.  The guy knows how to do it in college, lets see if that translates to grown men at work.  The eye is sharp but is his message clear and his plan good enough?  Games gotta be played to know that.

I would like to think this is a big reason Ron is gone and Rhule is here. Tepper is a smart guy . I’m sure he saw what we all saw with Ron and his inability to put player in the best position to win. Like I’ve always said.. Ron was a good dude but just isn’t very smart.
