All of my ire is on Tepper. Rhule was put in a position he wasn't prepared for or ready for. He failed miserably but he'll I told y'all that was probably gonna happen from the get go. 😂

This. There's not a chance anyone here would turn down life-altering money from a billionaire determined to give it to you.

Anyway, I'm personally happy for him. The NFL wasn't for him, and Rhule did unequivocally fail at the QB position. He also failed at surrounding himself with coaches with NFL experience early on.

However, there are some revisionists here that won't give him credit for anything. Objectively, the Panthers had the worst roster in the NFL when Rhule took over. And now, outside of QB (although it obviously is the most important position), this roster is in much better shape. To the point where this team is in playoff contention with even close to average QB play.

My historical comparison I hope holds is the Sefiert to Fox transition. Seifert came in with a lot of fanfare and was an utter failure like Rhule in many respects, but in retrospect Seifert's roster building and drafts, especially the last (Morgan, Jenkins, Smith) really set the team up for success under a better coach in Fox.

Regardless, this chapter is over. Maybe its the homer in me, but I do hope there is something positive that comes out of this for both sides. 

And Tepper isn't going to miss the money one way or the other.

Can't wait to see their fans melt down in three seasons when they haven't turned it around.

probably would have been easier to have "success" at Colorado, especially with USC and UCLA joining the big 10.

Easier conference, recruiting territories don't really matter anymore, a winning record gets him a statue built. Plus he's already resurrected one program that was destroyed by rampant sexual abuse scandals. 

Rhule's bullshit church youth group thing will go over well at Nebraska though, that might buy him some time.

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
