Reported Panthers Fire Matt Rhule. Not surprising he was fired. Surprised it happened so soon. But for anyone watching their games the last few years, things always just seemed like a complete train wreck.
Also, we are finding out that the "great" college coaches are mostly only great recruiters. I put Rhule Saban, and Meyer in that category. Jim Harbaugh is 10x the coach those 3 are....successfully in the pros AND NCAA.The biggest con in the NFL are GMs and Coaches (like Rhule) that are able to sell Owners that it takes a long time to build a contending team.
Since the salary cap era, if you can't at least win a playoff game in the first three years of a regime you are in a self-masturbatory "rebuild"
The only championship regime in the salary cap era to not at least win a playoff game their first three years was Coughlin's Giants, and they made the playoffs years 2 and 3 and won the super bowl year 4.
Good Riddance to these trust the process conmen
It goes way more than just getting the QB wrong. I watched them a bit when Bridgewater was there and their ability to call the worst way in the key moment of a game was startling.I haven’t watched many Panthers games. It did seem like they were trying to develop a rounded out roster there, but it’s all for naught if you can’t get the QB right. Rhule never got the QB right and even seemed averse to taking a big swing with one of their high 1sts.
He’ll get a boatload of money and will have multiple college programs after his services.
