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

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
