If we get Fangio too damn. I'm actually going to be excited for the draft. Please do not let us down Scott Fitterer.

Read the whole thread douchehole. I’m a Carolina fan first and foremost. 

Douchehole huh? So which RB do you like in the upcoming draft? Surely there's a good one we can pickup in the 4th round. You know that's what the majority of successful teams do right? They keep drafting them and don't pay them boatloads of money. Sorry this upsets you enough to go around calling someone a douche. Enjoy your evening bub.

New coach possible new young QB and once again player only fans are stuck glaring into the rear view. Join us in 2023 OP. Otherwise move this thread to the 49ers boards.

Major kudos to him I wish him the best always. Hopefully he does not end up coaching on a rival team.

I'm not salty that I'm attacking his family.

I'm just anti simp and believe men should stick to their values and not sway because of a woman. 

If I am out with a chick and she says I'm vegan I order a steak. I don't try to force her to eat a steak. She can have her choices but I'm not going to appease her.

You have issues. It's too early for your mess seek help or a therapist.

Welp yesterday is officially in the books. It's a new day Panthers fans. Mods may want to reintroduce the 24 hour rule for this one. If folks are still raging about the previous interim this evening well...

I never complained about a defensive minded coach. I actually love Ron Rivera

Oh yeah?

Keep up the hate bro. It’s all good. I’m bowing out of this poo show and will watch on and off from afar from here on out. Rest assured, when Reich fails I will be back to say I told you so.  
2 years at best and all the fanboys will be screaming for his firing. 
 

enjoy. 

You really are contorting yourself to be dying on this hill after years of griping over this franchise settling for defensive minded conservative coaches like Wilks and Rivera.

Nope, he took this very hard.

 

And I wouldn't be surprise if he lands a HC job somewhere and with the big a$$ chip on his shoulders he might lead a team to a SB win before Carolina gets one...now that would be karma for yall a$$e$...

Are you his agent or related to him or something?

Yeah but this is more the Joe's Apartment kind of infestation.

No idea what to expect. The bigger question is can Fitterer successfully navigate this process and prove the bad the last two years was all Matt Rhule. I hope so.

It’s like people forgot how much a downgrade he was from McDermott…

Right and that's supposed to be his bread and butter as a coach. I definitely do not recall any screaming about firing him being unfair. Same can be said for when we fired Eric Washington. Emotion is the common thread now.

Team moral just dip -10...

 

Wilks > Reich...hope he proves me wrong. 

Wilks had the players respect...Reich going have to earn it.

Did Reich ever find his QB in Indy...sounds a bit like Rhule...Wentz/Darnold...Baker/Matt Ryan..

And I hope Wilks gets a HC shot somewhere else, and make the playoffs...and watch the huddle meltdown when we go 5-11 the next three years...lol

watch he sign Daniel Jones....

Is that you Chuck? Confirmed Reich was the right hire if you hate it

McVay looked like a dweeb this year without superior talent on the offense. It doesn't matter who the coach is if you don't have a QB, or incredible talent. And to that point, you could argue that Wilks coached the BEST VERSION OF SAM DARNOLD throughout the end of the season.

Sam Darnold had the 9th worst passer rating in NFL history under Wilks what are you smoking?

I keep seeing talk about the locker room. The same locker room let an aging and mediocre Steelers team come into town and throw us into a ditch. Love for Wilks didn't make a difference. All that matters is winning.

Wish Wilks the best. The couched hate for that man is on par for the huddle.

From who though? Probably two or three who legitimately don't like him personally or other. Rivera had cancer and still some people here despised him. Truthfully there were times some could have suggested bigotry toward him was a factor. But I don't recall ever seeing it. Regardless I wish Steve the best. But I think and hope we made the right choice in changing direction.

A lotta angry Wilks fans right now. Love to see it.

I'm sure you're happy. You've been banging the Reich drum for a while now haha

On the flip side he also pounded the Hackett drum for a long time. Hopefully not the kiss of death here.

Well alright let's see what happens. I feel a little more optimistic today than i did before. Now time to get a look at we do with the staff and the draft.

No way to know if Wilks would have us at mediocrity. He was never given a fighting chance at HC. I will be here to say I told you so when Reich flops and to eat crow if he doesn’t, but I’ve been around the block long enough to know his style and personality won’t last long term. Wilks did extremely well with the hand he was dealt and 1000% deserves a shot. Anything less than HC and I expect him to walk away.  If he doesn’t I lose a lot of respect for him.  

They both could flop who knows. I'm not extremely thrilled with either but Reich brings a shift in philosophy. And for all the positives some offer on behalf of Wilks he had the job in front of him and absolutely nothing to lose yet he showed us he is conservative to a fault with the playoffs on the line. I like him personally but count me as a firm no on another round of a stubborn defensive minded head coach. Rivera will be available next year if that's all your after.

Wait is Ickmule a Wilks stan? I thought he was steadfastly against mediocrity. Man these last several years really put a hurting on some folks mental state I guess.

It's unreasonable to expect either man to take a lesser position. It's one or the other. Neither are a spring chicken so you aren't making a 10 year hire. If it's between the two roll the dice on a new vision for the offense for the next few years and cultivate a staff where you may have a young coordinator ready to possibly step into the role in the next several years or so.

Okay, so who actually has a better resume than Reich?

I'd agree Tepper seems to be playing it safer with this hire relative to his last one, but I don't see how this is a poorly made choice made over meatballs or something. Reich has an impressive resume, he's just not as exciting to fans.

We've taken our time more sure but we went from saying it was going to be a small pool of candidates to bringing in just about anyone who would interview and now we are back to Wilks or a retread. And as far as I can tell no one has so much as given Wilks a call. Now people can speculate that has to do with his lawsuit and it's possible but I don't buy it. I can accept Reich as the head coach. Though he has cons like Wilks we can't overlook that. But again it is at least a new direction so I would wait and let things play out while hoping for the best.

why is this team consistently at the mercy of who manages to buddy it up with businessman outsider Dave tepper in the interview and not the individual with the strongest on field resume’

People don't want to hear it but you are on the money with this in regards to Tepper’s process. Though at least with Reich we will see emphasis on the offense.

Just announce Reich already.
