Was Rhule forced by Tepper to hire experienced coaches?

I’ve heard on WFNZ a couple times that Rhule hired experienced NFL guys only after Tepper forced him to do it. If true this would mean that Rhule didn’t learn from his mistakes, he just did what the owner demanded he do.

Also, is this considered meddling on the part of Tepper and if so are you guys ok with it. Remember it was Tepper who forced Ron to switch to a 3-4 defense.

That 3-4 foolishness needs to stop. 

Hiring a guy you have to micromanage into doing his job is insanity.

Suck it up and fire the dude buttercup.

How do you know you've hired the wrong guy as HC?  When (two years into his contract) you have to educate him on what qualifications to look for when hiring a coaching staff.

If Tepper told him to hire NFL experienced coaches then that is a positive. 

See first post for the correct answer.

Any owner that has to direct his HC to fire his hand picked assistants (and hire experienced NFL coaches) has the wrong HC.

Whatever it takes, as long as it's happening. Wouldn't surprise me.

The question has to asked, just like it was asked about Rivera. If the coach needs to be told how to coach, what's the point of keeping the coach? 

Just go ahead and get someone who can do the job without being told what to do and how to do it.

From what I hear, yes he was. This was part of the terms of him being retained another year. 

 

I think it will help. At least now they have people who know how pro practices are run. 

Is that not ridiculous though that the owner has to do that? Also, sadly I hear Tepper is involved in player evaluations as well and he has zero clue as to what he is talking about. It's not a good recipe. He is so addicted to getting a QB he is screwing our future. We are likely to trade for Wentz or Jimmy G because he cant help himself to wait a year and get Bryce Young/Cj Stroud. We will likely be in this same situation next year. Let's hope we don't trade away our #1 pick and ruin our cap for another trash QB.

    • Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does).
    • Evero runs Vic Fangio's scheme and leans heavily on cover 4 with disguised coverages. It is not predominantly cover-2 as suggested. This means that the box safety is going to likely be covering 1/4th as opposed to 1/2 of the field. Whomever the team brings in to be the boundary safety (unless they stay with Demani) is going to be covering the 1/2 part. Though with Evero's scheme, that box safety can also be one of the three underneath coverage guys depending on how they've got it disguised prior to the snap.
    • I was messing around with ChatGPT and feeding it a lot of information about the current draft.  I think we came up with a perfect draft scenario for the Panthers.  this was just a quick 3-round mock with a trade-back with Pittsburgh.    TRADE RECAP Panthers send: Pick 8 Steelers send: Picks 21, 51, 84 Panthers draft with: 21, 51, 57, 74, 84 ROUND 1, PICK 21: Tetairoa McMillan – WR1 – Arizona (#12) Why it works: Gives Bryce Young a true WR1 with elite ball skills and separation ability Resets the WR room with a long-term outside alpha ROUND 2, PICK 51: James Pearce Jr. – EDGE7 – Tennessee (#36) Why it works: Gifted edge bender who can win off the edge with speed and twitch High-upside Burns replacement with flexibility to rotate early behind Clowney/Wonnum ROUND 2, PICK 57: Kevin Winston Jr. – FS4 – Penn State (#83) Why it works: True free safety with range and coverage instincts Plays faster than timed speed — perfect deep safety fit in Evero’s scheme Could immediately compete to start  ROUND 3, PICK 74: Azareye’h Thomas – CB6 – Florida State (#51) Why it works: Big, athletic corner who can develop into a full-time starter Could play outside or nickel and provides much-needed depth with Horn’s health always in question ROUND 3, PICK 84: Darius Alexander – DT7 – Toledo (#61) Why it works: Fluid, active interior lineman with pass-rush upside Great value here — helps solidify the DL rotation behind Derrick Brown and Shy Tuttle Final 3-Round Mock  Pick Player Position School Rank in The Beast 21 Tetairoa McMillan WR Arizona #12 51 James Pearce Jr. EDGE Tennessee #36 57 Kevin Winston Jr. FS Penn State #83 74 Azareye’h Thomas CB Florida State #51 84 Darius Alexander DT Toledo #61
