Mr. Scot

Byron Leftwich has only been coaching since 2016. He has less coaching experience than every potential candidate except Kellen Moore.

That could be why his name was mentioned.

See above...

I think you can. Gotta remember agents are one of the common sources for insider stories. So for example, Matt Rhule's agent could be the guy telling someone like Rapoport that Tepper is going to be patient with him. Funny thing is though that the details of Wilson's story aren't really any different from Rapoport's . There's just a different sort of spin to it.

I think that's probably more of a pipe dream scenario. Right now, Tomlin is probably the most powerful guy in the Steelers organization.

Coaching in Atlanta

Same record? Yeah. Just like us?

One is talking about short term patience, the other about longer term.

Well if your benchmark for football knowledge is Marty Hurney, that's not exactly a high bar to clear. I mention them though primarily because they're who he has available right now. Granted, he could look elsewhere but I don't think he will.

But hey, Dan Quinn Seriously though, I do hope if we get to the point of looking again, Tepper listens to advice from Fitterer and Morgan rather than just doing his own (likely idiotic) thing. Maybe somebody could also ask Luke Kuechly if he can think of anybody...

He might be able to now if he actually lets Scott Fitterer and Dan Morgan handle it. They might disagree with his ideas though (can't have that)

Same. He thinks like a fan. Sadly, he also isn't any smarter than one when it comes to making football decisions, yey he insists on making them himself rather than letting an actual football person do so. Tepper is such a frigging dumbass.

No denying Mayfield has issues, but to be fair Tua is running an attack designed by Mike McDaniel while Baker is working with a scheme dictated by Ben McAdoo.

He does have a big cap hit. He's also not exactly a top ten quarterback.

I don't know if that's true or not, but as a counter argument I'd offer this...

I wasn't sure you'd be convinced

Connected to you too, eh? Guessing he came across as pretty smart...

It is. The source is 100% full of sh-t.

I'd throw this in... Panther fans have been looking for a way to get Luke Kuechly involved in coaching for years now (general indications are he's not that interested in working with Matt Rhule and company). There's no evidence to suggest that Johnson and Kuechly are best friends or anything, but they're likely at least acquainted from their time at BC. And both would seem to be highly intelligent. So maybe, just maybe, Johnson could have a better shot at getting Luke aboard that train than Rhule does.

He's actually on the injury report this time... See also...

Related: While Johnson hasn't been a direct colleague of Rams coach Sean McVay (else he might already have a head coaching gig) he did serve as an assistant QB coach in Miami working with then QB coach Zac Taylor.

You know who it is...

Im very interested in the Panthers finally having an offensive coach. Thing on that front though is that unless he totally sh-ts the bed, you're likely to see both AGM Dan Morgan and former Panther Greg Olsen on board the hype train for Bills OC Ken Dorsey.

Gotcha. Thanks
