Reich wanted Carr. Outside of that I’m not sure he really cared. Honestly he seemed a little checked out throughout a lot of the process. Fitt seems to big the main Bryce person. Outside of that who knows. It’s like the Lance Niners move. No one knows who wanted who in its entirety.

Look at Adam Schefter trying to help Nicole with damage control at the expense of Dave Tepper (who has an ego right)?? This really isn’t the breaking news cover up story that some Huddlers want it to be. It just goes against their narrative so it must be wrong…

Lol right??? What’s the cover up?? The owner’s wife was right and he was wrong?? That’s not a good look.

I believe the polls on here had Stroud as the Huddle Favorite? Young was a close 2.

But but there was a pic of her hugging Bryce????

Pay the man ASAP!

Yeah I posted this on the combine thread where people were giving her a hard time about being in on interviews. Sounds like she might know more than the other people there…

Tell it to this guy!

Maybe they should have listened to Nicole??

3rd is too premium of a pick IMO. Just build and offense around Young. If he struggles he will lead us to the top pick and we can replace him next year. We keep trying to throw money/assets at QBs without fixing our offense.

But who were these mysterious qualified coaches that turned us down to the jobs else where? Morris? Dan Quinn??? I get being skeptical on Morgan but we also hired Tilis away from one of the best organizations in the league. How were we able to do that if no one wanted to be here?

MacDonald took that Seattle job when every other job was filled aside from Washington. Hell Seattle brought in Evero for a second interview. I'm not sure you do that when you already have a guy in place. Regardless he interviewed here and didn't refuse to talk to us or work with us like what is being suggested. The Seahawks just forced Carroll to retire. They appear to be starting new. Hiring a guy that coached under him for a decade wouldn't necessarily do that. They also didn't hire his son for any position as he came to work with Canales. I'm not saying Canales is a rockstar. Ideally you would have liked for him to do it again as the play caller. He is definitely a gamble, but most are. I'm just confused at this notion that no one else would come here when he interviewed the guy you saw as the top candidate who is also very green. He has been DC for two years for a team that is loaded on defense and always has a solid defense. Before that he was the DC for Harbaugh's loaded Michigan defense who didn't really miss a beat when he left. Personally I kind of like Slowik, but he was very raw and green as a playcaller as well. I like Johnson too, but who didn't? I wanted an offensive guy because DCs seem easier to fill and keep steady than OCs.

MacDonald interviewed with us. Harbaugh's camp reach out to us. You could probably argue Harbaugh wouldn't have taken the job he was just trying to increase his demand, but MacDonald is super green and not really turning down anyone. He was one of the last ones hired if I remember correctly. So there wasn't some line of potential head coaches that refused to coach here because of one player or the owner. That's all I am saying. MacDonald is as much of a gamble and Canales. Who know who will work out?

I think he was as good of a candidate as any of those other ones. Gambling on one a year before he is ready isn't the worst strategy. It's always a gamble. Seriously why are you just avoiding the question? Which one of those newly hired coaches turned us down? Which one would you rather us have hired?? Let's hear it. You literally said Canales was the best we could do.

"There were a plethora of coaches and players recently saying how positive and fun it was working for/with Canales. I dont recall one saying how he out schemed or put together a lights out game plan to beat some team. His offense last year was kindof "meh" and there are a few other red flags so I guess we will just have to wait and see and be patient. Like I said, this was probably the best Tepper could have done at the time." You seem to think he was the best hire we could have made? Sounds like they did their job.

So which NFL potential HC candidate outright refused our job that you wanted us to get? The Ben Johnson thing happened last year but apparently that is a Ben issue more than it is a Carolina issue. Jim Harbaugh reached out to us before to which we ignored, Vrabel interviewed for the job. This year we had Harbaugh, Macdonald, Canales, Morris, Pierce, Callahan (interviewed), Mayo, and Quinn take on new HC jobs. Which one of these guys is the mysterious high potential HC that refused to work here??

Dave Canales especially fits the mold of coaches they have recommended before. Young offensive minded coach that just has a solid performance as an OC. Canales was less experienced as a play caller but it was a tough job to sell as well. I mean Dave and Nicole being in the mix makes sense. They are paying the firm after all. I’m with you on the Caldwell thing though. I’m not sure why he is still here….

They were picked by a separate Sportsology Firm. Tepper does a lot of things wrong, but to his credit he tries a different approach each time. Or at least he has so far. Hiring a 3rd party to help with interviews and hiring was the right call. The next step is for him to actually stay in the background and let the football minds that were hired handle their business. Maybe it will work? Maybe it won’t?

Or any WR than can get YAC. I swear ours fell over half the time they actually caught the ball.

I don’t think anyone is “fanboying” him lol. It’s more of “give him a chance” vs “he will be terrible because he worked with Fitt.” Remember Beane learned under Hurney and all his blunders. Like I said if nothing else he has seen successful and non successful franchises be ran. Hopefully he can know what the difference was.

Regardless if Morgan somehow changed from Seattle and Buffalo to being horrible here, let’s hope he is logical and learned what works and what does not. He had great examples of both.

You think he had everyone agreeing? I’m not sure that is possible…

Fitt was bad. No one is arguing this. We are trying to see if their are signs of Morgan insisting on these picks.

Morgan also went to Seattle with Beane who turned their franchise around. They didn't really follow the Seattle blueprint (huge raw QB who they molded and trading for a top WR to help him grow, never really got a good running game with their RBs). People like to compare Young to Wilson because they are both short, but honestly Seattle got lucky with Wilson in round 3, they had traded for Flynn for that to be their guy. Young and Russ also have two pretty different playing styles. Canales talking about the offense he wants to run seemed similar to the one he just ran in Tampa. He was just speaking basics IMO. Yeah PA, running game, and bootlegs helps take pressure of the QB especially with a bad OL.
