The gang is back with Hot Take Szn's NFL matchup of the week! While the Bills look to pay back the Chiefs after last post- seasons short comings, the Panthers send Head Coach Matt Rhule home while still owing him $40M. Seems the Panthers have forgotten some unwritten Rhule's of their own. Rhule #1: Never commit to a coach past 3 seasons and give him full control of the roster if he's not a proven winner, let alone 7 seasons. Rhule #2: Never have a Christian Mccaffrey and give him an offensive line softer than the drinks at the McCafé. Rhule #3: Never in your life expect to have credibility as a coach when you look fresh off a weekend bender every Sunday and you bet your job on Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. Rhule #4: Never come out of college to the pros and think you'll operate 53 grown men making more money than you like some hungry kids at Baylor. Follow us on social media!
