The Carolina Panthers announced on Monday that they officially have parted ways with head coach Matt Rhule following an 11-27 record through Rhule's two-plus seasons in Carolina. Julian Council discusses why this needed to happen and what things lead to Rhule's demise in Carolina.

While fans will celebrate Rhule's ouster, Julian believes that there are bigger problems in Carolina, particularly as it pertains to Panthers owner David Tepper. Can he get his next coaching hire right?

Charlotte native and Panthers secondary coach Steve Wilks will serve as the interim for the final 12 games of the season. Does Wilks have a realistic shot at his job or will the Panthers issues plague his tenure as well?
