Like I would assume was the case for many of you, when I found out the Carolina Panthers were hiring Ben McAdoo to be offensive coordinator, my first reaction was that of apathy. Not necessarily that I didn’t have feelings on the hire, but more so, general hangover from a disappointing season where the Panthers certainly did not feel like they took a step forward under second year head coach Matt Rhule.
This author’s opinion is that Matt Rhule should have been fired for a lack of progress in his second year of the rebuild, and that the reason he wasn’t is that David Tepper simply invested too much money in him to not give him another year.
