MATT RHULE'S POST-LOSS COMMENTS TO THE MEDIA

Actually, I don't think Rhule has dodged any bullets yet.  He has led a sheltered existence behind his contract. I really believe that Rhule has a 'deal' with Tepper for three (or maybe four..) years in a sort of 'undisturbed' state. And I don't think that is necessarily a bad idea. Rhule had a REALLY tough first year and a half...only starting to calm down about mid-way through last year.  So, I don't think he has ever been in any real danger of losing his job.  But, he might be next year.!!

I honestly didn’t think I’d find a post ok with Rhule ok sentiment.  His third year.  When he took over it was cmc, dj, Shaq, moton, burns, n d jack.  Fact check me I’m guessing, n old.  We’ve upgraded the roster(db, wr, qb, OL) in 3 seasons so far. A lot.  Look at the roster when he signed, but with Fitt.  2 years.  It’s early in the season, but keep

Just my 2 cents on a late Friday afternoon.

Since you quoted me (although it doesn't show as a quote..??), I think I should say a few words here.  A very brief answer...

I think there may have been a misunderstanding..  My post should not -- DID NOT indicate any "OK sentiment" with the job Rhule has done here in Carolina..  Nor should it engender any indication that I am "supporting" Rhule's continued position here as Head Coach.  There---- THAT should clear up any confusion.

What I DID say was that I did not think that Rhule "dodged any bullets".  Which I meant, and which I still mean.  I contend that Rhule has an "agreement" in place with Tepper that protects his status here for this year --- and possibly one more year.!!!.  I don't KNOW this to be true (obviously..), and it has not been reported to be true.  BUT, Tepper has indicated on multiple occasions that he had "complete faith" in Rhule..  That sounds to me like they "have an agreement".

Therefore..... Rhule has not "dodged any bullets" (IMHO..).  You can't "dodge bullets" if none have been fired toward you.....
