It’s just really funny how people want to assign anything bad to Rhule and good to Fitterer, regardless if they say the same things. It’s pretty comical and while Hurney did blow donkey balls, it was the same with him. While we had plenty of proof, he was still the dumping ground for everything.

Basically Fitt can talk in a microphone/in front of people and doesn’t come off poorly.

If you are in a situation where a FO is literally forcing players on a coach, it's time for someone to go.

Well yea he does need to go, Rhule still being here is inept but thats what the Panthers have been more often than not

He's just repeating what the coach and team's philosophy is. What's the issue here?

So last year the best OL was playing?

he's worked hard to earn that.

not a bit of the hate is undeserved. he's f*cked up at every level so much he's had to be corrected at almost every turn.

I mean he said it....its the teams philosophy. Doesn't mean they evaluated who the best player was correctly.

Apparently in Rhules mind they were, or at least on that particular Sunday.  Hard to say as the starting 5 were never the same.

I mean it's a hatred so deeply rooted and hitherto unknown to the people of this area...

Now we’re back to why people HATE Rhule.  He looks at that line last year and felt he nailed it.

Offseason additions are usually universally celebrated.  Fresh faces, new energy.  It all looks fun and exciting.

Trudging thru 18 weeks  looking like a new breed of horse turd each week won’t get you a lot of support.

 

Coaches that lose aren’t liked.

GMs have to miss on a few draft days and free agency periods to feel the heat.

Outside of his love for old Temple and Baylor guys (and the dumbass "short arms" thing) personnel hasn't been the primary issue.

The problem is that he still coaches like a college coach, and that just doesn't work at the pro level.

In order to believe that Rhule is going to be successful, you've gotta buy in to the idea that he can learn to be a pro coach.

For me, it's not just that I don't buy that idea. It's that I'm really not interested in employing a head coach who has to learn his job to the level that Rhule does.

yeah, this is really fan fiction by Matt Rhule's board family though. 

There is no deep hatred for Matt Rhule.  Matt Rhule was simply a comically bad NFL HC last year.  Comically bad.  We just say that.  It was what it was.  Generally, when someone is that bad they disappear.  Matt Rhule hasn't.  Therefore, it keeps getting mentioned.   You know, being he is the HC and all and has his finger print on literally everything going forward. 

Jimmy Clausen sucked horrifically as QB.  There was no real Clausen hatred.  He just couldn't play QB. I think Clausen actually gained more respect as a person throughout his bad career.   But if Clausen would have been our starting QB in 2011 it would have been spoken about a lot.
