Firing Rhule and Snow isn't going to change anything. The vast majority of the staff are Rhule's guys.

I did a deep dive on the current Panthers coaching staff trying to find which coaches have no prior connection to Rhule. Rhule had one season of NFL experience as an assistant offensive line coach on the 2012 Giants. Aside from that, all of his experience was in the college ranks. The following coaches were connected to Rhule in college or in his one season with the Giants:

Defense:

Phil Snow - DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR (Temple, Baylor)

Al Holcomb - ASSISTANT HEAD COACH, DEFENSE (Giants)

Evan Cooper - CORNERBACKS/DIRECTOR OF PLAYER EVALUATION (Temple, Baylor)

Mike Siravo - DEFENSIVE RUN GAME COORDINATOR (Temple, Baylor)

Terrance Knighton - ASSISTANT DEFENSIVE LINE (Temple)

Don Johnson - PASS RUSH SPECIALIST (UCLA)


Offense:

Jeff Nixon - ASSISTANT HEAD COACH, OFFENSE (Temple, Baylor)

Sean Ryan - QUARTERBACKS (Giants)

Kevin M. Gilbride - TIGHT ENDS (Temple, Giants)

Matt Lombardi - PASS GAME SPECIALIST (Baylor)

Special Teams:

Ed Foley - ASSISTANT SPECIAL TEAMS (Temple, Baylor)

Assistants:

Rob Dvoracek - DEFENSIVE ASSISTANT (Temple, Baylor)

Garret McGuire - COACHING ASSISTANT (Baylor)

Bobby Maffei - DEFENSIVE ASSISTANT (Temple, Baylor)

Cedric Whitaker - SPECIAL TEAMS ASSISTANT (Baylor)

Strength and Conditioning:

Jeremy Scott - HEAD STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH (Penn State, Temple, Baylor)

Thomas Barbeau - STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ASSISTANT (Baylor)

Corey Campbell - STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ASSISTANT (Baylor)

Administration:

Matthew "Los" Delgado - CHIEF OF STAFF (Temple, Baylor)

Morgan Fleming - COACHING OPERATIONS COORDINATOR (Baylor)

Jarrett Wishon - ASSISTANT TO THE HEAD COACH (Western Carolina, maybe others)

I didn't even dig into the GM staff. Guys like Pat Stewart knew Rhule at WCU I think. 

Let this be a warning - this problem is not getting fixed this season. Matt Rhule has his hands in almost every position on the staff. The staff is extremely light on NFL experience and it shows on the field every week. We are in for a very, very long season. David Tepper made a huge mistake not firing Rhule and his entire staff last season. 

I hope next season this team is coached by an NFL caliber staff. This college experiment was a resounding failure.

It’s true the majority of them are his but these guys would be auditioning for jobs elsewhere or to take over this one and that would benefit us. Firing Rhule and Snow and giving Wilks the Defense and/or HC job would be a huge beneficial change. I also wouldn’t be opposed to seeing Tabor in the interim role to give McAdoo and Wilks more time to be coordinators.

I wouldn’t include Ryan and Holcomb simply because they crossed paths with Rhule during his one year with the Giants. In reality, both of those guys have had more NFL success than Rhule, and Holcomb had some success under Rivera. But yeah, the rest of those college guys are Rhule guys through and through.

You’re right but it would make me feel better. No one actually believes firing Rhule is gonna make the team better this year. New coach, new coaching staff next season. 

Actually i do if mcadoo runs it. At least has nfl experience

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
