Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule hasn’t exactly endeared himself to fans over the past three years. And although he’s heading into the 2022 campaign with a refreshed outlook, for both himself and his team, he still has detractors.
One of those detractors was in attendance at Bank of America Stadium on Thursday night for this summer’s edition of Fan Fest. While Rhule was chopping it up a bit with reporters following the light practice, said fan could be heard (quite clearly) chanting “Fire Matt Rhule!”
It was so clear, in fact, that Rhule couldn’t help but acknowledge it mid-answer.
“Between soccer, between the concerts, between football, to me—it’s been tremendous to see the atmosphere, to see the people coming out.” Rhule said when asked what the event means for the fans and the city. “So, I’m happy everyone’s here, even the guy saying ‘Fire Matt Rhule’ right now. I’m happy that everyone’s out here.”

Well, many fans may want Rhule to lose his job, but at least he hasn’t lost his sense of humor.
