Have your thoughts on Matt Rhule evolved at all?

More Matt Rhule news from yesterday. He let the guys with kids come in late so that they could see their kids off to the first day of school or e-Learning whatever the case may be. 

 

Got me thinking. Now we know a little more about his style. If I had to choose a few words to describe it, they would be...

High energy

Accountability

Relatable

 

From taking part in the drills himself, to giving time off, to increasing the speed and intensity of the practices. Has your impression of him changed at all?

Thought it was a good hire at the time and a signal that the franchise was trying to refocus in a new direction.  So far nothing has happened to sway that.  The majority of content on the panthers has been conjecture, innuendo and editorialized reactions to PR missteps from the org.  Changing my mind at this point would just be adding another irrational overreaction .  I may have a quick observation here or there, but I will wait for a game or 12 before trying to reevaluate fully.

I was happy with the hire initially and have been growing more impressed since then. It seems he has struck a perfect balance between holding players accountable and being able to relate to players.  Rivera talked about accountability but in practice did not hold players accountable for their performance, especially veterans. He seemed to only care about being liked.

He’s definitely a players coach.

Mind you rivera was also a players coach. However I think they go about it different ways. Rivera was very much about the process, rhule seems to be more of the ‘let’s learn and adapt’. 

not saying that’s a bad thing but the worry would be if things go bad you can suddenly be in the middle of a circus. However, if things go right you have a coach people want to play for and feel like they are heard.

I like what he has done so far in camp. Still have to wait to see what he does in games, how he adapts as the year goes on and what his learning curve looks like after a year. So far it's looking good and a very nice switchup from the last 2 HCs we have had.

High expectations met with even higher team building results ...so far.  Give players a half hour of family time and get a season worth of buy in and extra effort.  Make players accountable for mistakes with pushups but have coaches along side players and form a bond that we’re all in it together.  Great start.

You mean you are asking people are they still basically babies that make a snap judgement on a temporary feeling based on little or no informaiton relevent at the time?

Not at all. Dude has always deserved a chance. Actually...let me go reserve the user ID 'Coach Rhule's toenail clippings"

      I respect Deion but I said and thought immediately when he was hired there he would not be the coach after 3 seasons.  I don’t see it happening

      If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such.  You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well.  Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men.  Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this.  Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS.  He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait.

      I hear you and I can imagine it's frustrating as a fan, but UNC-CH leaving the ACC would be throwing away over a century of history. It would really suck if y'all, or Clemson, or any of the other remaining charter members leave. I still think it sucks that Maryland left as well. Feels so wrong not having that rivalry anymore. Maryland fuging hated us and I loved it. Who's Maryland's rival now in the big 10? Rutgers? lol. Also, I think that the Heels are more likely to be Kentucky 2.0 than you are to get serious about football upon joining the SEC. Both UNC (and also Duke's) administrations seem very stuck in their ways with sticking to their ways and remaining basketball powerhouses. I do wish we could see NC teams actually competing in my favorite sport sometimes but alas. I personally value keeping our history intact over trying to become top flight CFB programs because nowadays it's just a pay to win sport anyways. Even if UNC-CH got serious I doubt they could compete with that Texas oil money, or that Oregon nike money, or that USC rich kid money. That's all top level college football really is anymore. You're either an established blue blood or you're willing to waste tons of money that could be spent on education rather than football.
