The problem with firing Matt Rhule: Who would want to coach this team?

[Snake]

I've said this before and I will say it again. Most new coaches don't come into good situations. At least with the Panthers they have talent. 

[SteveSmithTD89]

DJ Moore, Robby, CMC as weapons. Hubbard, TMJ, Tremble with potential. 

Burns, Chinn, Horn, Shaq with potential contributors in YGM, Taylor, CJ, Brown, Roy and Nixon. 

Potentially able to retain Gilmore, DJax, Reddick. 

Not to mention an abundance of future cap space and a top 10 pick to secure your QB if so desired. Factor in a small market with a bar previously set so low that .500 is an accomplishment and a relatively passive media presence compared to other markets and THEN you factor in an owner who will throw 10 mil a year and total control and you have a very desirable opportunity. 

Somebody will take this job and there people who will be banging down the doors to get it. Theres only 32 of them in the world.

I'm not a big fan of retreads.

I'm a very big fan of Nathaniel Hackett.

I usually look forward to some up and coming coordinator that can turn things around. There are no current coordinators that excite me, none. We need NFL HC experience. I’m with you, I’m not a fan of retreads, due to tape. However, Harbaugh is top of my list, then Pederson or Kubiak. I think if we hire anyone else, we are looking at 3-4 years before that coordinator gets enough experience to be a HC. Rhule, obviously could not learn on the job. Hell I would even be excited about Wade Phillips before any current coordinator.

I am worried if the Panthers fire Matt Rhule they might struggle to attract a good head coaching candidate.

Better to roll the dice on the unknown if your only other option is to stay with a KNOWN failure and disaster.

He has Aaron Rodgers. It is hard to know how good he is in situational football when 12 is making the calls. I’m not saying he wouldn’t make a great HC, but we do not have a Rodgers. His other OC stops were ok, but nothing exciting. On the plus side, he could go dancing with the Top Cats after a score, that would be entertaining.

Imagine applying this logic to a girlfriend or wife. "Oh my girlfriend is awful and I hate my life but I can't do any better so I guess I won't do anything at all."

 

I hate this word but that's a pure cuck mindset. This franchise has addled its fans' brains.

Look back at his history before Rodgers.

He made the Jags the #5 offense in the NFL with Blake Bortles.

So there's that.

When do NFL head coaches ever walk into “good” situations
