The nightmare..............

Panthers manage an 8-8 season and Rhule says the process is beginning to work and Tepper believes him.

As a result year 4 happens with the bumbling bum from Baylor........

We going to win 8 games with Rhule as the coach and sam as the qb?

He’ll get fired our bye week whenever that is. Knowing this organization, it’ll be the midway point of the break.

I don't think so.................but then again nobody plans on having nightmares when they go to sleep either.

If Tepper is smart.... either the Monday morning after week 16 or not at all.

At this point, we're obviously bringing him back next year, which means he either completely turns it around and thus won't be fired... but if he doesn't... I see ZERO value in firing him at any point until the Monday morning after Week 16, and here's why.......

If he's getting fired next year, it's because we had a terrible year and will be in line for a top draft pick.  

For whatever reason, when a HC gets fired, it usually rallies a team together, especially since the interim HC usually isn't one of the DC or OC, but another coach on the staff who is well liked by the players and so the players tend to care a little more in those first few weeks to play hard for the coach they like.

So if we're having a bad enough season to where he's getting fired, I don't want them to do it mid-season where we could rally around the interim coach, win a handful of games, and thus hurt our draft position late in the season.

And with the new rules about being able to interview other team's coaches during the last 2 weeks of the regular season, doing it the Monday after Week 16 lets them start interviewing coaches immediately and limits the number of games the team might rally together and pick up some wins to hurt draft positioning.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but take a look at next years opponents. We'll be hard pressed to get five wins again.
