Panthers are doing a good job of building good defense.. The move to fire Rivera and hire Rhule is starting to look good.

Looking good for all parties involved imo.

We could lose the rest of the games this year and bringing RR aboard would still be the right call.

For this organization at that time .. RR was the right guy at the right time for us. He doesnt seem to be a X and O genius and hes not under 40 ... but hes smart enough to identify what he does well and allocates to people for things he doesnt do well.

RR was and is much more than a HC for this organization. He was the PR face of it last year during a tough time, he built an entire FO and Coaching Staff, he got Snyder to double the scouts and asst coaches and asst GMs he brought in.

RR has elevated this franchise from a bottom 3 in terms of staff/infrastructure/scouting to now I feel like we are middle of the road. Which is a huge improvement from where we were.

I mean, you can only play who you put in front of you, but the Jets, Saints, and Texans aren't exactly the stiffest of competition out of the gate. That defense came back down to earth last weekend.

WFT has a better W/L record through their respective tenures, made the playoffs, and gave the SB champs all they wanted - all with a much more maligned QB situation, and apparently a paper tiger defense. RR has done more for this organization in the same time than Rhule has for Carolina in my opinion.

I do think that Rhule was a good hire - time will tell for sure, but I'm tired of the comparisons that seem to indicate that Carolina is on a much better trajectory than the WFT. I don't see it.
