How so? I imagine it went from bad to worse week of Frank’s firing. We’ve essentially reset the entire thing now internally

They’re gone except maybe Caldwell now

Wow. Really like this move if we pull it off. This has gotta be the last major FO spot we’re trying to fill

I don’t know about that. Mingo had like 450 this year in a horrible offense and had some really impressive flashes. TMJ had what? 200 yards total his rookie year? I think I remember one play he’s even done that stood out and pretty sure that was year 2.

Yeah not seeing that. TMJ is atrocious. Mingo is raw and not well coached.

What? How could one even come to this conclusion?

maybe it was fake, im not seeing this anywhere

Some good advice from Ron. I gotta imagine Canales is able to speed dial Carrol whenever he needs now that he isn't coaching and that has to be a huge advantage.

yeah it's really not that far away if we're willing to spend the money there. we could go from last to 16-20ish range by doing what you said

Ultimately all HC and GMs report to the owner, so this isn't like a weird only Panthers thing. If there are 2 legit people (Dan and whoever this other new hire) between Tepp and Canales, I'd be pretty content with that.

dude this is literally why i asked. because i didnt know and was unclear from googling it. calm yourself bro

I think I feel the same way, but also double edged sword. What does Pete want to do? Would he come here and really push coaching decisions like we heard last year with Reich and all this experience on staff? Or would he be a pretty silent but helpful resource in the background? Who knows, but yeah would be good to explore that

He's under contract and paid well. Unless he gets a HC offer or Canales just hates him (he scored 30 points total against us in 2 games, so he should be pretty impressed) I think he stays.

One thing that is going for him... Pete Carrol is one of the best culture builders to ever do it. He's the rare type that could do it both in college and NFL which means his system truly works. Pete hired Canales to USC from COMMUNITY COLLEGE and has followed him everywhere and worked his way up until he left for the Bucs. That's almost 15 years of seeing exactly how Pete does team building at different stops. Gotta imagine a lot of that stuck with Canales.

I think I like the hire, but I don't like the timing. It feels a little rushed and i wish we finished the interview process with other candidates..... but at the same time the public has no idea what's going on beyond the scene and we might have known who was already unofficially out. Basically I know nothing and have no idea what to think and am ready for more hurt but cautiously optimistic.

Thanks for posting. His offense is the anti-Reich and everything I was hoping we'd incorporate to make life easier for our rookie qb with the worst skill room in the league. No excuses for Bryce, this is a scheme he can and should excel in, we will know this time next year if we have our qb or need to go shopping 2025. He also just seems like a good likeable dude from this vid you posted... that stuff can go a long way with players and the locker room. Reich seemed to be so nonchalant about everything and i think it may have killed the energy in the building

prob not the right things to focus on rn, but i do want to know, do we get any sort of draft capital for hiring a Rooney rule candidate?

I wish we at least interviewed the others a second time. It does feel like jumping the gun

sorry thread already going that i missed, mods plz delete im stupid

Though out anything associated with Tom Brady and what is that number? Just do last 10 years when the league dramatically shifted to a pass first and what is that number? I have no idea id honestly be interested in what it looks like

I would really like this hire but in the same way I really liked the Reich hire last year and I just don’t know if Tepper will go the just fired HC route twice. I will say tho Vrabel is a much better candidate than Reich ever was.

I believe most of us are judging him based on the roster he helped assemble for our 2-15 season we just wrapped up.

I loved the Fitt hire. Hate this one. I hope you’re right lol

Wow… this is… mind boggling. My only hope is there is a ton more info internally where Dan showed where he vouched for said players that Fitt passed on who were successful elsewhere. Idc that Dan came to huddle tailgates and used to play here, get the best man for the job. Maybe he is, and I’ll do my best to trust it but being an internal promote does not get me feeling warm and fuzzy about this at all. Will sit back, shut up, and hope he proves me wrong.
