I just don’t see how you can hire Wilks from just a logical perspective. You’ve gotta hire somebody you’re willing to give at least 2 years (as long as they aren’t obviously in over their head and shitting the bed). I’m not sure Wilks gets that if the team performs poorly this upcoming season since he’s already had most of this past season as interim. It just doesn’t make sense to me. If you weren’t sold on Wilks at the end of the season why would you hire him moving forward?

I wanted Pederson. Sucks we didn’t can Rhule at the end of his second season seeing how some of last years coaching hires have performed.

Ok, I wasn’t all in on Reich…but if he brings that beard dammit I’m in.

My only problem is you basically reduce a QBs chances of success by trading up for him because you have less draft picks to build around him. And the thought of what it would cost to trade from 9 all the way to 1 makes me want to puke.

Maybe he wasn’t wearing pants or something.

Here’s how I imagine it going: Fitt: “Talk to me about your plans for filling out the rest of the coaching staff.” Morgan: “What are your thoughts on our draft picks this year?” David Tepper: “Also, what’s your favorite flavor of crayon?” Nicole Tepper: “And as a Taurus, how do you plan to connect emotionally with the Virgo’s on the team?”

The only thing more Charlotte sports would be if Ron Rivera himself were somehow available

I don’t know if the Reich to Cardinals stuff is true, but the longer this goes on the more likely it will become that somebody we like takes a job somewhere else.

Don’t forget Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering.

I’ve always thought it was more a case of over correcting to a similarly bad practice on the other end of the spectrum. So because Tepper was a bonehead last time and fell in love with another bonehead, now he’s going to interview way too many people with way too many people involved, overthink it because he under thought it last time, and make another mistake. Hope I’m wrong or that we just luck into the right coach, but this whole process has reeked of over correction to me.

I thought Ryans turned us down.

I think you’re right regarding QB play because, like you said, it can’t get much worse. However, I think the rest of our roster is a bit overrated. Look how badly the Bucs got stomped in the playoffs, and we couldn’t take the division from them. We were probably a 3 or 4 win team in any other year.

I think we definitely need to move him now. If we end up with the #2 pick and take Scoot I just don’t see room for Terry as a starter anymore.

Lol, talk about mouth breathers, you my post because I said HR training videos were brain dead? Go change your diaper jfc.

Listen, I think it’s dumb as hell that she is conducting interviews…but “she didn’t complete her inclusive hiring training” sounds like she didn’t do some brain dead online video from HR and take the little test at the end.

No way they get a pass for that awful draft day trade. I don’t care what happened after, you don’t trade the #13 pick for what you know is going to be a pick in the 20’s (right now looking like 29 or 30) and a bunch of seconds. And the reasoning behind it was mind numbingly stupid.

NIL was supposed to be so kids could make money if they were depicted in video games, or for doing car lot commercials, merch sales, autographs, etc. It has very quickly and predictably turned into schools just buying recruits.

Yeah, unfortunately this is my biggest long-term concern with Tepper as an owner.

I don’t know why it would cause anybody to stop being a fan. It wouldn’t be my favorite hire, but I don’t need to like the coach as a person to root for my hometown team.

Wdym kept the locker room together? Short of guys literally leaving the team and giving up their paychecks, which just doesn’t happen, that locker room seemed about as un-together as possible.

The Colts and Texans also have shitty owners and are viewed poorly. It is absolutely Tepper’s fault that Johnson viewed the Panthers in the same way. Just because it is true of other teams as well does not make it less true of the Panthers.

Ben Johnson, Josh McDaniels last time we hired, Rhule begged NY to match Tepper’s offer. But Harbaugh had to push hard just for Tepper to take a phone call. I think the captain of this ship is a moron and we’re gonna get burned by some desperation move a-la Rhule, or get Ron Rivera 2.0 only worse in Wilks.

Seems like he’s having trouble getting people to take his money.

This is starting to feel like the Hornets hiring process and we’ll just end up with the same guy/type of guy we have failed with for years (Wilks/Clifford) due to a combination of coaches not wanting to coach here and poor judgment by the organization.

Add another to the list of coaches who have rebuffed us since Tepper took over. And include Matt Rhule begging for somebody to match our offer.
