Tepper embarrassed by Rhule. Rhule lost locker room.

[Ja Rhule]

Yet, Rhule is set to return in 2022. 
 

The Athletic's Joseph Person reports Panthers owner David Tepper is "unhappy and embarrassed" by the team's performance under head coach Matt Rhule. 

Rhule, who has lost 21 of his 31 games as Carolina's head coach, said this week that Tepper has “nothing but confidence about me and the future and moving forward." Often citing "the process," Rhule has preached patience with his underperforming Panthers, who have flailed wildly over the past year in search of a franchise quarterback. They inexplicably settled on Sam Darnold before the 2021 NFL Draft, only to see him flounder after a promising start to the season. Panthers players have reportedly grown deeply skeptical of Rhule's "process," criticizing his micromanaging approach to coaching. “The proof’s in the pudding,” said one veteran personnel official. “The product on the field is bad.” Expect 2022 to be Rhule's final year as Carolina's head coach barring a miraculous turnaround.

Why wait?

That doesn’t add up to the conclusion that he should return unless tepper just don’t want to saddle the new coach with Sam as his QB.

If I had to guess is because of fat contract Tepper gave him.

[TheRumGone]

Person is just the media arm of the panthers. If they’re putting this out there then have to think there is a possibility he could be fired at seasons end.

We are paying Darnold $20M and trade away most of our best draft picks.  We fuged the pooch big time with Rhule hire.

[Cdparr7]

But the three-month collapse after a 3-0 start has tested everyone’s patience, with one Panthers source characterizing the team’s regression in Rhule’s second season as “a clusterfug.”
 

No kidding

[LinvilleGorge]

Yikes. If true, this is BAD. If Tepper really feels this way and is STILL bringing Rhule back, it's over y'all. This owner doesn't care enough about winning to let it eat into his bottom line.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Fans hate you, owner "embarrassed" by you, you've lost the players...

Get excited for your 2022 Carolina Panthers, everyone. Rhule must be one hell of a snake oil salesmen around Tepper or Mr. Brass Balls might actually be mistaking patience with pure ignorance.

Lame duck year inbound. Hello 2010. Please don't let these turds trade future picks again, hell start a sell on anyone not able to sit tight and waste a year. Fuggin waste of another damn year

No fuging way Tepper brings this idiot back. It just doesn't make sense.

So we can do even worse next year and draft one of the QBs coming out.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Tepper is only keeping Rhule in order to get the first overall pick in 2023, y'all. 4D chess and all
