t96

I get the age thing, Pete is not my top choice for that reason. But he should be in consideration when our top choices probably choose better opportunities anyways. Pete could get this franchise back to being respectable and maybe we can groom a future HC under him. Pete looks to me like he could coach until he's 80 with no drop off. Can't say the same about a Belichick, Reid, etc. He's super healthy and energetic and his heart seems very in it. Coughlin looked and acted 80 years old his last year in NY despite being like 6 years younger than Pete is now. I usually think it's a dumb saying but I feel it's appropriate talking about Carroll that age is just a mindset. Getting this team to some sustained success, winning seasons, playoff appearances is not pointless.

Last NFL playoff play in St. Louis history. And it'll come full circle when tepper moves the Panthers to St. Louis (but that still remains the last playoff play in St. Louis history until tepper dies).

first 3 SBs and last SB are easily won with any of a couple dozen different QBs.

Coughlin's last several years with the Giants were terrible. Carroll's Seahawks have continued to be competitive all along even with career backup Geno Smith as starting QB the last 2 years.

leave all decisions up to CarolinaHuddle vote

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/draft.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/car/draft.htm Lol yes absolutely. Belichick is about as bad of a personnel guy as you can get. Consider him as a coach sure but definitely not for a front office role (which there's no chance he'd consider anyways, chasing Shula's record).

lol why in the world would we want belichick of all people running the team and not coaching? great coach (albeit a cheater), terrible personnel guy. look at patriots drafts like the last 7 years

we'll see... he seemed pretty clear in his multiple press conferences since the end of the season that he badly wanted to keep coaching the Seahawks. when asked if he still wanted to coach/would coach elsewhere he basically said "no comment" not "no I'll stay with the Seahawks." This is a pure firing -- Pete has class and has made it amicable but I think there's a solid chance he'll consider a HC job somewhere else. Reality is Carroll is one of the greatest NFL head coaches of all time and despite his age he'd be the best coach in team history and probably bring us back to back winning seasons for the first time within his first 3-4 years. Would be stupid not to consider him if he is open to opportunities.

Dude’s got the energy of a 40 year old and health too

Along with his accomplishments, not much more needs to be said. I’m all for going after him for HC barring a Harbaugh union

Samir Suleiman is already the alleged "cap expert." We've seen how that's worked out the past few years. Get us some damn old school in the weeds football people in the front office. I like the Dallas guy that someone brought up here. We need a significant influx of talent, with less draft capital than other teams have. Cap expert is a total joke if you don't have talented football players to start with.

disastrous. tepper is doubling down on being fuging retarded a team void of talent is ignoring building out the scouting aspect of the front office. genius!

not a CFB guy so don't care at all. although maybe Tepper will try to convince him to give the NFL one last shot and we'll have another disastrous debacle on our hands.

happy for him. and what do ya know, another 1st round hit by Hurney

also the TD run called back by stupid illegal formation penalty

so fuging stupid. we need an elite talent evaluator GM and we need that guy to choose a HC that fits his vision for the roster and how he'll build it out with the talent he finds. OR give Harbaugh the keys to the franchise to do whatever he wants and bring in whoever he wants

if we decide not to keep him at DC couldn't we try to trade him to the Jags or elsewhere since he's under contract as DC? Couldn't block him getting a promotion to HC but could get something out of him going elsewhere as a DC

nope, clear house don't want anyone who has the stench to remain

Ehh I disagree. Julio Jones was a notoriously terrible TD and red zone guy yet he was not only a #1 but one of the best weapons in the league period and demanded a ton of defense’s attention. Moore is a low end #1, probably a top 15 WR.

LOL shoulda heard the Aints fans around me at our playoff game in 2017 when Cam went out for a play late in the game before coming back in… lousy excuse for Tepper being an idiot/douche

A few things at play here. 1) Most likely scenario is that Tepper hires people who believe in Bryce and sell him a plan for winning with Bryce. He’s going to want to try to not look like a dumbass for going all in for Bryce. 2) In the absence of that scenario there could absolutely still be plenty of legit qualified people who may believe in Bryce and want him as their QB. He was 1st overall for a reason and was regarded as a potential generational prospect if he had the conventional size. For as bad as Bryce has been his size really hasn’t been the issue at all so I’m sure plenty of coaches think they could get much more out of him. So depends who we hire. 3) The thing that’ll keep him safe on the roster is that he has more value to us than he has to other teams. What team would give more than a 3rd for him right now? If we keep him as a backup next year his value doesn’t change that much and we could still trade him later. No reason to push him out for pretty much nothing in return at this point. May as well keep him around as an option. However this doesn’t mean he should or will be handed the starting job again. Any new staff should just be treating him as a piece on the roster that will have to completely earn his playing time. If a 3rd round rookie comes in and outplays him then by all means let that guy start over him.

wonder if some team in the top 10-15 picks would trade their 1st for him

I think he'll land as a DC somewhere and be solid, albeit not amazing. Doubt he gets a HC job again

Dumbass

Tepper should be begging him to consider us. Dumbass
