Matt Rhule has surrounded himself with familiar faces as he looks to get his time with the Carolina Panthers off to the best possible start. This might not come with immediate success. But the head coach has a strong record of transforming college programs and hopefully, he can transition this to the NFL.
The Carolina Panthers bet big on Rhule to turn them back into contenders. He was given considerable leeway alongside general manager Marty Hurney to rid the roster of virtually all veteran leadership this offseason. And this has left them with plenty of young talent with little experience.
