Matt Rhule's wife explains why she told her husband to go to Carolina

[Sir Purr]

To cement things even further, Rhule’s son Bryant had a few words for his father after the interview. The Panthers hadn’t yet made an offer when the 15-year-old wanted some answers.


“The second ‘aha’ moment was when my son came downstairs and he asked if we were going to Carolina and I said no, and he stormed out of the house,” Rhule said. “He said, ‘You had one job!’ He wanted to be here.”


Why did Bryant want to go to Carolina so badly?


“He was born here in Asheville,” Julie said. “He spent 16 days in the NICU. We’ve driven through the state whenever we’ve had the chance and he’s always just had a draw to Carolina. He just thought this would be a great place to live.”


Everyone got their wish in the end.


And Julie is eager for Panthers fans to learn more about her husband, a proven winner and program builder whose ready for this NFL challenge.


“He’s so genuine and caring. He works really, really hard. This is going to be so exciting,” Julie said. “Only great things are to come.”
