Despite boos, Rhule appears safe with Panthers as ‘Black Monday’ looms

Another season comes to a merciful end for many suffering NFL fans on Sunday.

Some, however, could be pumping their fists on “Black Monday,” when their favorite teams start their road back to relevancy with coaching changes.

Could Carolina Panthers fans be among them?

The “Fire Matt Rhule!” chant and boos that broke out during the Panthers’ home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Dec. 26, also echoed through Spectrum Center during a Charlotte Hornets win on Thursday.

Rhule hasn’t had the same magic touch he did in college at Temple and Baylor.
