If we lose to Atlanta does Tepper fire Rhule

[Mr. Scot]

As to the topic, I don't honestly know but I'd be in favor of it.

Hell, I'm in favor of firing Rhule regardless of the circumstances.

Head coaches have a learning curve too.  Especially ones new to the NFL.  

Getting blown out by teams whose own coaches are on a short leash isn't a learning curve that's just plain bad. We should not be getting outcoached by Joe Judge and Jason Garrett or Brian Flores and Ron Rivera but here we are.

Yeah that would probably do it. I think he either finishes strong or Tepper cans him.

I don't think that'll come into play until we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Not sure if losing to ATL would accomplish that or not.

I believe Detroit is still technically mathematically alive for a playoff spot... so no we’re not close to being mathematically eliminated yet

As far as I know, to date only the Texans have been officially eliminated.

There really isn’t anyone on our staff worth trying out for interim HC. I’d say just let him finish this season then (hopefully) cut him lose.

If this team gets blown out at home by the Falcons, that's it. Rhule can't field a competitive team. I need to see fight in this team and competitive games for me to even consider keeping him another season. This team quit in too many games this season.

No one knows……

 

but he should have been fired already.

If the Panthers lose yet another home game to a bad team like Atlanta, does he get his own personal black Monday?

NO.

When i hear the word playoffs associated with a losing record  team like the Panthers, i cannot help but think of Jim Moras playoff rant.

Carolina wins out, gets to the playoffs.  Rhule isn't the real problem, the issue is hes new to the NFL, needs to be coached up so to speak but theres no one on this staff that can do that.  Maybe bringing in a OC thats been a head coach before could really vault Rhule into an NFL caliber head coach.

That’s the one positive thing I remember about John Fox - he brought in Dan Henning who had a ton of NFL coaching experience as his 1st offensive play caller. Rhule would have done well to do the same and if he stays on another year I hope he does just that.

So should Sean Payton and Kliff Kingsbury be fired for allowing Rhule to out coach them?

I believe that Matt Rhule would have likely been more successful in Carolina had he selected former head coaches as his OC and DC.  Rhule clearly needs a mentor or two with NFL head coaching experience. 

Having said that, the first step to solving a problem is recognizing you have one.

Do you think Rhule would admit he needs coaching up?  I don't.

As a condition of employment, Matt insisted on full control when it came to selecting his own staff and got it.   

Yeah, Rhule's biggest problem is Matt Rhule.

I’m not sure, but I do hope so. I’ve been in the give Rhule 3 years camp from the beginning, but the last two weeks switched me over really fast. Choking against Washington and getting humiliated by the Dolphins. His time has come and gone.
