Time to take a step back..(reality check)

[Doc Holiday]

Ok. Seen quit a few posters on here not only looking surprised, but also upset about todays outcome.

Any chance of the Panthers improving this season went out the window the moment Rhule was fired. When Rhule was fired Tepper wasn’t just letting the terrible excuse for a head coach go, he was also throwing in the towel on the season. 
 

Wilks isn’t going to be the Panthers Next head coach. He knows this, everyone in the Panthers organization knows this. There is nothing to read into anything the coaching staff does or doesn’t do, they will mostly be replaced next season by whoever comes in next. what we are in, is an evaluation process for the team, which players we are gonna keep, who’s getting cut, and who is getting traded. Coaches will be evaluated the same way as complete 100% coaching staff turnovers are actually rare. 
 

We are currently in no man’s land this year, We will not play or have a meaningful game unless we win in an importune time like we did when we managed to actually beat Washington when they had Playoffs on the line, and we were playing for a top 3 pick. 
 

I hope the Panthers play tough and are competitive this season, but we are seriously better off losing out and getting the top overall pick.

Agreed, I’ve already said it, but losing out just doesn’t get us the first overall pick, it also gets us the first pick in each of the rounds we will drafting in. If we get the number 1 pick we will also get the first picks in the 2nd, 5th and 6th

I'm just hoping we don't have a repeat of "Washington 2020". Never forget that bullshit. Some clowns on here were actually happy we won that game for "the culture". How's that "culture" doing now? lol

[raleigh-panther]

I don’t think they will have to try too hard to lose out 

I feel bad for the players and the fans 

the owner let the franchise down. The house cleaning should have come at the end of the year 

we all know in today’s NFL, if you ain’t got a Qb, you ain’t got nothing 

[Jon Snow]

Pretty much. This has been my assessment all along. This is finally going to be a complete rebuild.  Hopefully Tepper hires someone that actually knows how.

The other thing is, you could argue the panthers coaching staff was intentionally trying to lose that game too. 
 

Rivera was doing such a poo job of coaching that he still managed to lose when the Panthers were intentionally tanking. One of the more amazing things I’ve ever watched Honestly.

Agree to a point...

I think Wilks will indeed be given a genuine shot to win the job, but Tepper's own statements that he would need to do "an incredible job" to get the permanent title don't inspire a whole lot of confidence in that happening.

And realistically speaking, the situation he's been dropped into is...awful. As we've discussed, interim coaches have it rough regardless, but there's an argument to be made that this one is tougher than usual.

Bottom Line: Wilks is most likely auditioning to be a defensive coordinator here or somewhere else next season.

But hey, stranger things have happened.

This is the toughest situation I can recall any interim coach has been put into. He doesn't even have a functioning qb for goodness sake. What the hell do fans expect? I'm not expecting a single win the rest of the season. 

The only thing I would like to see is some effort out of whomever is remaining on the roster come game day. If they win then great.

I took it as more of: “yeah, you’re in a poo situation, and if you pull of a miracle I’ll give you a shot”

both know with this teams issues, that miracle isn’t happening. I’d be fine with him coming back as a DC.

Yes, it did. Rhule was the head coach then and it was all leading up to this point. Wtf are you talking about?
