It was the pro scouts, still have the same college scouts as of now.

Well we missed on draft picks AND free agents so its a start. 

I said emphatically that the franchises fortunes would not change until the scouting dept was overhauled. Way too many misses on draft picks.

Mr Scot and Juan both said to wait until after the draft. Glad to see it happen.

I’d bet on a trade back from the 1st pick in the third rd. There’ll be alot of talent still on the board and we could possibly pickup and extra third or a 3 & a 4.

Stay put in the 2nd and improve the damn team.

Give me Payton Wilson who should be available over Lassiter.

For poos and giggles, Would a hypothetical Burns for Diggs swap be more intriguing than mortgaging future picks?

With the news of Stefon Diggs having an uncertain future in Buffalo, what does the huddle think about Morgan making his first power move with his old team and getting Bryce a proven #1? Granted, this is coming from Diggs himself, but still could be a possibility with the Bills cap situation.

Him being close to 30 would give me pause. However his cap hit is only around 20 for the next 4 years. Pairing him with Theilen and a speedy rookie or FA would instantly make Canales’ offense more dangerous.

What say you?

Canales says porn and cheating past behind him

I dont care if he watches animal porn at half time as long as he wins. Interesting info nonetheless.

Also, not that it likely matters to anybody but people like me and @magnus but the Panthers staff page now lists everybody down to the area scouts.

Used to be you could only see info on those folks if you downloaded the media guide.

I’ve always been of the opinion, and said before that not much will change until the scouting department is overhauled. 
The number of draft picks that we’ve missed on is inexcusable.

I know that a few of those scouts are holdovers (Cole spencer, morrow). Not sure how culpable they are/were in the terrible drafting but we couldn’t have been much worse in the last few years.

Granted, probably not much different than the things most coordinators point out.

One of his players in the comments singing his praises.

Someone else pointing out how grown men address him as sir because he commands respect.

Dear Nicole Tepper,

please tell dave to choose the best candidate, not the one that makes him giddy.

When you get a coach who doesnt have true leadership qualities, you open yourself up to poo like the divided locker room fiasco that we experienced this season.

Sure, it can happen to anyone but you best believe that the Wilks, Campbells, Tomlin types are shutting the Chit down and making for damn sure that he doesnt lose the locker room.

Youre dealing with testosterone filled, 20 something year old alphas like Smitty, Ray Lewis, Aaron Donald etc., who have to WANT to go to war for you, and not just for a paycheck.

They are looking the coach in the eye and evaluating him the same way that they’ve been evaluated athletically.

 The Reich & Rhule types aint it.

Shout out to redditor “Danofthecloth” for the find!
Seems well respected, knowledgeable and thorough in his approach. Also has a good track record of hires. We shall see.

“In 2015, the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles brought Forde in to take a look at their organization; soon after, they decided to move on from head coach Chip Kelly. Forde said owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman approached him about helping find a replacement. “I don’t know whether we could help you,” he told Lurie, “but I can probably tell you the mistakes I’ve made when hiring coaches and that could be of some value to you,” a nod to Chelsea’s having run through nine managers in Forde’s seven years with the club. But first he called up around 15 friends from the sports industry to gauge their thoughts. “And to a person,” Forde said, “they all told me, ‘Absolutely, you should do it, you guys are perfect for this.’ And that kind of gave me the green light.”

I've seen the results of Tepper hiring "leaders of men". Rhule was a "leader of men". Reich was a "leader of men". Wilks was the best of his "leaders of men".

I feel like when you have to hang your hat on a guy being a "leader of men" to justify your hire it's because you're fresh out of football justifications. Watch clips of Mike McDaniel. Does that guy strike you as a "leader of men"? He seems like an 19 year old TikToker. But it doesn't matter because the guy knows fuging football and that's what actually gets the respect of NFL players over the long haul. "Leaders of men" might pull the wool over their eyes in the short term but ultimately these guys want successful careers with wins, legacies, and fat ass bank accounts and "leaders of men" can only do so much. Football savants can do a lot more. I don't know that that's what Ben Johnson is but I definitely know that I don't give a fug whether or not he's a "leader of men".

I somewhat agree. I also feel that guys like Demeco, Tomlin, Dan campbell, Sirianni all possess a certain hard nosed quality that shapes the football culture. I do believe that teams take on the personality of their coach to a point.

Yes Mike McDonald is an offensive savant. His team also tucks their nuts when they get hit in the mouth. The 9ers always play Shanahan football, even when McDonald was on staff. Leaders of men is an overused cliche. BEING a hard nosed leader is not. 

 Knowing football aint enough. Reich knows football too.

All great points, most of which I actually agree with. My personal hope is that we chose the best LEADER that guys will want to play for. Probably won't though. FML

Smfh. To be such an astute businessman he would make a god awful poker player.

Thomas Brown: ok guys here we go, lets run behind Nash jensen and whoever TF our left guard is. Theyre due for 1 successful block”

Belichik would immediately be the best coach in our history, but not sure he has the energy left to do what needs to be done. He would have been a good hire after Ron, but not sure about now. 

So was Seifert at the time.

Fug man. This bs is so unacceptable, at every level
