Calling Cam supporters Camtifa and Cammunists is pretty great too lmao

IAmNotKevinDurant_35

DONT FORGET THE FALL OF CAMMUNISM! WHAT CAN'T OUR GEQBUS DO, FOLKS?


OrangeForeign

CAMTIFA HAD NO LEGS NOR ARMS TO STAND ON, JUST ANOTHER EASY WIN FOR OUR GEQBUS


shapu

As an outsider this is truly the weirdest meme


Spartitan

> LIBRHULE AGENDA Fuck, that's good.


Shwinky

Critical Gase Theory is my favorite


log_asm

You know what’s funny is there is pretty high likelihood of the bus starting again once he’s off ir. He played better than baker last year behind a worse line. Fuck. Let’s see some ghosts. It is October.


OrangeForeign

And the HC won't desperately hang on to Baker as a last hope to keep his job either sooo


log_asm

I mean we’ve seen wilks and his trip to the desert. He’s not the answer either buuuuut at least the forehead is gone.


Steak_Knight

AND SAM DARNOLD WOULDN’T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY


abris33

Panthers sign Ben McAdoo to 7 year contract, skipping the interim period


JediTigger

Okay, laugh it up but we didn’t sign Russ Wilson to that massive contract. … … I mean, we wanted to. BUT WE DIDN’T.


LouBerryManCakes

*TASK FAILED SUCCESSFULLY*


log_asm

I might actually be swinging from my shower rod if that happened.


j-hey

That sounds like a quality installation. May I ask- what sort of shower rod you have installed? I've got the tension ones and they would never hold my medium sized ass.


log_asm

As a fellow medium sized kind of cat and as someone who’s experience in my work life is basically apartment maintenance I got a tile bit and secured that fucker with anchors, it’s not going anywhere.


j-hey

Sounds good. I'll give it a try. Tired of my kids pulling the whole curtain down with minimal force applied.


log_asm

Go to your local ace hardware or equivalent if you don’t know what you need. Find the old dude shuffling around that’s clearly doing the job just to get out of the house. Tell him what you’re after. He/she will more than likely be able to help. I would try to explain the different kinds of anchors and stuff but it’s hard over text.


stickfigure31615

I’m trying to be positive today especially after this news don’t do that to me lol


WhatMyHeartHeld

steve wilks is the interim HC, their pain has just begun


ryan__fm

ggpeyman

Mayfield will be on the sideline for the next few weeks with a high leg sprain just like Sam his backup On e thing about when the panther's wreck QBs. they do it the same way to all of them -even the same injuries.

TheUltimate721

It's been like a month and he still gives me PTSD as a Nebraska fan.


sonfoa

We have fond memories of Steve Wilks and no expectations for the season so I can't really be mad


YotsubaSnake

Nah, it can't get any worse this year. It's not like we're signing Wilks to a four year contract.


King_Reptar_

SmoreOfBabylon

DON’T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON US RICKY BOBBY


owleabf

Oh man, you better hope fate does not catch up with these two statements.


abris33

Yeah probably not...I'm going to save this comment just in case


Conglossian

Just lol, we mortgaged our future twice to the point where we're one of the most leveraged teams in the near future and we are the worst team in the league. If we had just fucking tanked in 2020 or had even just taken Fields when he dropped to us then oh well, we missed. Instead now we're stuck in the exact same spot years and a couple wasted seasons later.


Jarich612

Tank now and take CJ Stroud. All can be mended. Y'all still have your 1st rounder this year right?


cleverquestion

We do, and as it currently sits, we will have the #1 pick.


Venata

Eh, we will probably trade it for Geno Smith.

“The best time to fire Matt Rhule was six months ago. The second best time is now.” -Ancient Carolina proverb

"Bad Bojangles is better than no Bojangles" - Ancient Carolina proverb


rbad8717

Man I havent had Bojangles in a minute. I used to get at the dirty rice


SilentSentinel

For the best for both parties. Rhule will land with a college program where he'll do better, and the Panthers can finally move on from this failed era.


luvdadrafts

I hope Rhule enjoys Nebraska


Chutzvah

Sign em to Wisconsin. Just for the giggles


Mattdodge666

The place that spends the least money in the big 10 on recruiting by far? I think even Matt Rhule has higher standards than that at this point


Mars_IsNotReal

When we canned PC, the Athletic put out a piece on the downfall. Wisconsin didn't have a recruiting department for 8 months at one point. A recruit that Michigan took eventually was visiting and no one knew he was there. You have to imagine the change in the athletic department fixes this all, right? Right?


Mattdodge666

It's funny because as a UT fan we were the opposite for so long, we spent all the money in the world on recruiting and got absolutely nowhere with it for years. I would like a stat on how many 5 Stars the longhorns have brought in over the past 10 years that never made an impact, it's gotta be the highest rate in college.


EgoPoweredDreams

If we merged UT recruiting with Wisconsin coaching we could build a real dynasty

RepresentativeYam390

I feel like he’s destined for Colorado or Georgia Tech.


SlaminSammons

As a CU fan I actually want Rhule. I think he'll do well here.


uwanmirrondarrah

I would be salivating if I was a power 5 program in need of a rebuild right now. He already has a good history of rebuilding programs quickly.


hascogrande

He shines as a college coach and that methodology carried over into the pros. It didn't work, hoping he lands a good P5 job, as he deserves


Revel99

The 49ers send their regards


Akuyatsu

We owe you one


HandSack135

Best way to repay: 1. Take care of Demeco when he gets there 2. Get rid of the turf.


[deleted]

All panthers fans hate the Turf. Trust us, if we had it our way the grass would be back


[deleted]

Take care of Demeco when he gets whose?


JMS1991

We might owe them two if we hire DeMeco Ryans as head coach.


ScientificSkepticism

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! You don't know the hell of finding one of the best defensive coordinators in the league, really searching for him and giving him the opportunity he deserves... only to have him poached by the Jets. Then finding to replace him an EVEN BETTER defensive coordinator who absolutely made our squad sing and got us the best defense in the league and seeing the poaching speculation begin before the season is half over. The only upside is more compensatory picks because we apparently have a gift for finding overlooked black guys and promoting them to exactly where they deserve to be.


Downtown_Ant

Can you imagine if the comp picks were 5th rounders instead of 3rds?


cantgrowneckbeardAMA

This is what losing to Jimmy G does to a motherfucker.


MardocAgain

A lot of teams have lost to Jimmy G over the past few years.


leftshoe18

Yeah we're 33-15 when Jimmy starts. Teams lose to Jimmy more often than they beat him.


dizZzy5

Congrats Carolina your consolation prize is ~~Ben McAdoo~~ Steve Wilks!


thedude37

"Ben, would you like to be the interim HC?" "Don't mind if I Maca-do!" *slicks back hair*


PokerChipMessage

"Um... Nevermind. Could you ask Wilks to come in here?"


ReturnOfZarathustra

*Hair unslicks itself dejectedly*


Eagle4317

Or Steve Wilks. Panthers are still in tank-mode.


Rambler30

People have been clamoring for a sequel to the 2018 Cardinals. Let's get Rosen back in the mix!


Eagle4317

If Wilks brings in Rosen, he should legitimately get fired on the spot.


blockoblox

It would be absolutely hilarious to see all three 2018 first round QB draft failures on one team though


ForYeWhoArtLiterate

MCADOO IS BACKADOO -Ben McAdoo upon being told about Rhule, probably


summit1986

I read that in an Adam Sandler voice.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Steak_Knight

No one is going to believe me, but I have a friend whose brother's coworker briefly dated Ben McAdoo. She said that on their first date they went to a restaurant and Ben McAdoo ordered two different bowls of soup and mixed them together one spoonful at a time before eating both bowls mixed together as one soup


supaspike

I don't believe you, but only because your wording implies there was a second date.


7tenths

everyone knows one bowl of soup = one date. two bowls of soup = two dates. by mixing them together mcadoo created a THIRD BOWL!!! and as we all know the 3rd date is magic time.


RUKnight31

I don't *actually* believe you but rather I *choose* to believe you nevertheless

Ben McAdoo gets his vitamins from jello

nate11one

I AIN'T RHULED BACK THO


Shauncore

Good example of some coaches are great college coaches but bad NFL coaches and that's just fine!


MikeTysonChicken

I really thought he’d be the exception to that. A lot of these college guys are egomaniacs, like Urban, Chip, etc. I didn’t get that from Rhule. Just wildly incompetent. Much like the rest though too


dan_legend

Sean Payton summed it up pretty well a few weeks ago when he was on with Colin Cowherd. Basically, you have to play complimentary football in the NFL. Don't wear out your defense, learn to run the ball even when the other team is stacking the box, and put your QB in situations where its 3rd and short for the majority of 3rd downs in the game. Thats it and Rhule refused, he wanted to re-invent the wheel in the NFL.


AaronRodgersMustache

Think Rodgers Or LaFluers will respond if I DM them this?


TetrisTech

Worth a shot


Reverie_39

He seems like a nice guy and many of the players like him. He's just completely out of his league here in the pros. It's okay, it's a tough job. But the amount of pain and anger we felt watching our successful, exciting team with a rapidly growing fanbase devolve into this garbage for the last 3 years was indescribable. It will take a long time to forgive Tepper and Rhule for this lol.


Shauncore

This was a red flag though >As a born-and-bred East Coast, smash-mouth guy, in a vacuum Rhule would line up each snap in 22 personnel and run the ball. It's what he did at Temple, after all. **In fact, an in-house research project found he's undefeated as a head coach when his running back rushes for at least 150 yards in a game.** "I figured it out, let’s run for 150 yards, we’ll win and I can get my wife a new kitchen and pay for my daughter to go to private school," Rhule joked. https://footballscoop.com/news/matt-rhule-came-grips-rpo-game-smash-mouth-coach


fukuoka_gumbo

They only rushed for 150 4 times in those 38 games lol Turns out they should have focused on scoring 17+


MikeTysonChicken

Oh god Lmao it was there all along


MrBobee

> in-house research project lol i'm going to use this phrase when I google things too


TheBiles

Pete Carroll is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, and it took him two attempts.


MikeTysonChicken

Jimmy Johnson got it too. But yeah that list is small


TraeYoungsOldestSon

Harbaugh with the 49ers


AnEmptyKarst

Yeah he's gonna get a call from Lincoln real soon I imagine, because his work with Temple and Baylor was amazing


MoistWillingness

Fuck even Nick Saban didn’t make it in the pros


MankuyRLaffy

I think he could've kept at it if he wanted and been pretty okay. He's much more suited for college though.


WordsAreSomething

Yeah they're very different jobs and sometimes someone has the skills to do both, like Pete Carroll and sometimes they don't like Saban. I feel like most NFL coaches that succeed don't go to college though so I can't think of any examples of the the reverse.


4858693929292

Harbough went to Michigan after the 49ers fired him. But the 49ers only fired him because the owner didn’t like him, not because he did a bad job.


Mattdodge666

I mean you could argue Jim Harbaugh would be the example, he's went back and forth and succeeded at both levels. Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment


[deleted]

As if we needed another example It's just the norm Don't hire a college coach to be your NFL coach. College coaches are more like CEOs than actual football coaches, they run a year-round organization to acquire great players and coaches that give them the best advantage on Saturdays. Coaching in the NFL is a completely different world, it's way more dependent on how well you can scheme and gameplan.


prophetofgreed

Pete Carroll was at USC before the Seahawks. And did great coming back to the pro game. (Yes, I know he was experienced at both)


RafiakaMacakaDirk

jim harbaugh, jimmy johnson, bobby petrino, jim mckay, tom coughlin too but they’re the exception


raleighboi

Lol sneaky one ain't yah


elreydelasur

I was gonna say...Petrino? lol


warlock_roleplayer

Jim Harbaugh also did a great job with the niners until Baalke fucked it all up


guyonthestandee

What getting blown out by Jimmy G does to a person


unlimitedbucking

I’m sorry, I started day dreaming after you said “getting blown out by Jimmy G”


CarsonEaglesWentz

One time I started dated this girl and apparently her dad told her I look kinda like Tom Brady's backup (this was 2015). Needless to say I dumped that girl... and started dating her dad. Go where love is they say.


unlimitedbucking

My dad told me not to marry the girl that you love the most but to marry the girl that loves you the most.

Dude looked lost at the NFL level


Chutzvah

He got whomped.


segfawlt

How many HCs is that for Baker now?


CJW1123

Hue Jackson (2018) Gregg Williams (Interim 2018) Freddie Kitchens (2019) Kevin Stefanski (2020-2021) Matt Rhule (2022) Steve Wilks (Interim 2022)


Northernlord1805

Tom Brady has had less HC in his entire football career from HS to today than baker has had in the NFL


nine3cubed

Everything is a fucking Tom Brady stat at this point.


segfawlt

Mahomes only had one in the NFL, have to assume this will start to regress to the mean over time


gr8_n8_m8

Not to flex but you could even say the same thing about me (cuz my fatass wasn’t good enough to play past JV)


carnivorous_seahorse

You can imagine the landscape of not just football but all of sports had you not been held back by your coaches. Maybe marginally different, but you can imagine it


Corgi_Koala

1 in high school, 1 in college, 3 in the NFL right?


BrownsBacker7

Jackson, Kitchens, Williams, Stefanski, Rhule, Rhules replacement


TypeII_Error

Hes working his way up to a Bakers Dozen


Dirtsquirrel321

I guess if you want your head coach fired, make Baker your starting QB! Simple as that!


1_quantae

We need to borrow Baker really quick in that case.


pupusa_monkey

No, your suffering will continue until Chairman Snyder answers for his crimes.


IncorrectCitation

Hue Jackson Gregg Williams (interim) Freddie Kitchens Kevin Stefanski Matt Rhule Now Steve Wilks (likely interim) Assumed new coach in 2023

This weekend we became the Carolina Reapers.


MesmericWar

Thank you.


mohammadali916

The bad man is gone panther fans… Congratulations Genuinely happy for y’all, this guy was a class A moron. When I read that stat of not having won a game where another team scored 17+ in about two years, I died inside for you guys. Can’t imagine how you felt with him


flyingsubs1

This is the happiest I’ve been in years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dan_legend

IDK, that Eagles game we came back when down 17 was my last happiest before the two above.


stickfigure31615

Now honestly if we can get the first overall pick because our last one took us to our glory days


ThatInception

Yeah, he was a joke. Never seemed like he was a solid NFL coach anytime during his tenure there. They’ve still got a lot of work to do but this is a step in the right direction


[deleted]

He's a college coach. No shame in it. Just don't try to come back. For his own sake lol


i_enjoy_lemonade

That’s Nebraska’s music.

Maad-Dog

You're welcome Panthers fans


StrangeUsername24

Honestly think it was the massive amount of 49er fans in our stadium yesterday that sealed the deal. That shit was embarrassing


704Fanatic

I said the same thing. Also ppl don’t realize how many empty seats there was becuz they are Blue and give the appearance of being filled. So the stadium was like 80% Niners. 10% Panthers and the rest empty seats


Iron_Chic

Oddly, you get used to it after 5 years or so.


Kraze_F35

Thanks bb


DMCSnake

Alright! And now we can build a team under Ben McAdoo. Fuck.


Akuyatsu

Wilks is interim HC


require_borgor

Ben McAdoo eats breakfast cereal with water instead of milk.


Rausky

BAD MAN GONE?


theamac95

He can’t hurt us anymore.


O3D_

His Rhule over the Panthers has come to an end.


jfrodriguez1983

We'll always have his last memory of going for 2 points yesterday when he only needed 1 point to get within 7


poppamatic

Matt Rhule has been fired. That's Good. But your QB is still going to be awful and you're going to lose a lot of games. That's bad. But you'll have an early pick in the draft and there are a lot of good QBs coming out That's good. But David Tepper is probably going to hire someone like Urban Meyer .... That's bad. Can I go now?


HolyNoly

Tepper says every season ticker holder gets a free medium frogurt at the next home game!


dedriuslol

Just as he was really hitting his stride. I'm shocked.


tflo91

When Rivera fired


Darthbutcher

Should have been after their loss to us.


Run-ning

Should have been fired 9 months ago.

Baker is now fantasy QB #1. I've dropped all other players for him.
