Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Monday following the team's ninth straight loss, dating back to the 2021 season. Despite calls for him to be fired, Rhule still has belief in his team's ability to turn the season around, starting this Sunday vs. New Orleans. Rhule sighted the team going from 0-2 to 3-2 during his debut 2020 campaign. Is Rhule misguided in his belief that the Panthers salvage the final 15 games of the season?

Julian Council lays out the pros and cons of firing Matt Rhule now. Would firing Rhule be the driving force to the Panthers finally becoming a contender? How would firing Rhule impact the Panthers perception across the league? Is there any tangible benefit to making a coaching change two weeks into the season?

How can Carolina turn things around this year? Julian lists several areas the Panthers will need to improve on if they're going to buck the trend of 0-2 teams missing the NFL's postseason.
