Walterfootball is finally leaking what the Huddle knows about the Panthers

[CashNewton22]

Idk if most use Walterfootball.com but he seems pretty turned in and likely has scouts as his sources. He basically says what we all know…Rhule is insisting on full control but clearly over his head and we’d be better off letting Fitt/Morgan run the show. Oh and we’re dysfunctional and Tepper is meddlesome. Get your popcorn ready folks….

In other news water is wet.

Not much surprise here. Wondering if and when Tepper will wake up and let Fit make the actual GM decisions. Rhule is going to have this franchise so far down the crapper that we might not see daylight for several years. Depressing.

Of course Tepper is meddlesome. He was on the phone with Christensen even before Rhule was. There are actually people who think Hurney chose Rhule lol. As frustrated as we have been with Rhule he didn't hire himself or give himself full control. You know damn well the Giants brass were laughing their asses when Rhule took our offer to them. We should have hired a consultant but the same man who wanted Mike Tomlin gone wanted to run the show. Now he's nowhere to be seen.

Tepper is a clown as is a Rhule. We ended up with the worst owner in football and it’s not even close. Until Tepper hires the right coach and stays TF out of the way this team is going to suck.

Tepper is fiddling with himself while BOA stadium burns to the ground.

Do Walter reads the Huddle. Best source of info he's ever had on the Panthers. 

[Ivan The Awesome]

No reason to blame Fitt or put as much blame on him when this ship inevitably sinks further come August. Rhule is a cancer.

Yep. Blaming Rhule completely on Hurney was always just passing the buck. You don't give a guy $70M and full control unless you're sold head over heels.

In general I'm sympathetic to coaches who want full control.  Like Bill Parcels said "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries."

But the Panthers are coming off of a 5 win season.  And after CMC got injured, the team completely tanked with a 2-12 finish.  The Panthers had bottom-of-the-barrel stats on numerous measures.  

So, in my mind, Rhule has lost any justification for full control over this team.  The 2021 season showed his personnel choices, contracts given out and player usage were, for the most part, quite poor.

I generally think a coach should get his way.  

But that all assumes you have a decent coach.  If you have an unqualified idiot? Well, you end up giving up your 2022 draft picks for the worst QB in the NFL because your college defensive coordinator told you to.  This only ends one way.  And that became clear a long time ago.

Chances are Rhule didn't agree to coach the Panthers without an agreement/contract that stipulates he has final say.  Tepper wouldn't be able to just snap his fingers and force Rhule to give up his power over personnel decisions.

So new owners with no real nfl experience still is expected to be a expert about the nfl. So I'm guessing you think you could run a nfl team with no mistakes, and chose the right coach when you'd only been in the league 2 years before hiring the first head coach of your tenure.

Meh a lot of half truths in here

first of all…Marty Hurney pushed out Marty Hurney and if Dave had his way Fields would have been qb last year.
