And yet, Baker STILL wanted to come here.

(although seriously -- have we heard from people who know whether Rhule truly is a players' coach vs what we see and comment on here?)

Not originally...

Early word was that he was as disinterested in us as some of our guys were in him.

That's why the "talking to him" thing was important. He had to be sold on the idea.

Link?

Our buddy Ellis for one.

Heck, even Gantt addressed the question (I think in one of his Ask the Old Guy columns) confirming at the time that Rhule does still have final say but has been asked/suggested to listen more to those around him.

You mean this one where he said Rhule appears to still be lead chair?   It says the exact opposite of what you said.    What exactly from John Ellis says that he has some source that Tepper reigned in Rhule?

You're not exactly good at reading, are you? 😆

i mean clearly from a public perception standpoint the Carolina Panthers intentionally altered Matt Rhule’s availability and presence after his nightmare season. That alone tells you their has been a shift in how he is being viewed.  They made him disappear and when he returned the GM was the lead publicly on all things.  A deviation from his prior seasons.  Plus there is the fact the HC that was booed out of BOA last year until Tepper brought Cam in….had his staff revamped with at least 3 guys that could take his job temporarily and all 3 be more qualified for the role than Rhule was day 1.

Or Rhule just chose that he didn't want to deal with the press. 

He fired his OC, so he had to replace that.  As for the other staff, some were fired and others left of their own accord. 

It doesn't matter, you're going to believe whatever you want anyway.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
