Excited to finally know who the head coach is as well as the next chapter of Panther football. We'll see if this is the offensive coaching hire that fans have clamored for. I'm most eager now, like most fans, to see who he populates his coaching staff with. Fingers, toes, eyes, and ears are crossed that Campen and Tabor are retained. Foreman has an opportunity to stick around, and dare I say Matt Corral has a fair shot? ...Along with any other QBs that Reich deems necessary to bring in, of course. Man... if Vic Fangio signs as the DC... omg... Would it be too much to believe at least until the draft before we have excuses to slip back into madness?

A Colts blogger put together a series of fairly well researched articles on Frank Reich back in 2018 that were still informative today. https://www.stampedeblue.com/2018/8/6/17030658/frank-reichs-offense-an-introduction Out of the three that have had second interviews announced, I think Moore is the only candidate that I'm sour on.

Smitty talking up Max Duggan got me like

From the latest "Cut To It" podcast covering the DAL/SF game: I've watched a couple of episodes over the last few weeks and enjoyed them so far. Looking fwd to checking out this one!

I'm good with whoever we get at this point so long as it isn't Moore, but the Cardinals did not allow Wilks to hire his own staff like the Browns allowed Stefanski to when Wilks wasn't retained.

Same re: rotational guy + Clemson's DL. In Henry I see YGM with a higher ceiling and better get off that doesn't cost a 2nd round selection. One thing though is that KJ made splash plays when they mattered, and I'd rather see if he can develop should YGM continue his current progress.

His WRs were consistently bad throughout the season tbh. My wife is a Giants fan, so I got to at least watch her be happy this season. Golloday was a non-factor, Robinson was hurt throughout the season, and they lost Shepard week 3. Darius Slayton (NYG 2019 5th rd) and Richie James (SF 2018 7th rd) did a lot of work for them when it wasn't going to Saquan. Plus they lost Bellinger to the eye injury as well for a good bit. That roster overperformed this season to say the least.

Free agency has better pass rush options than the draft imo, tho I like KJ Henry in the 3rd or 4th. I don't see any likely available pass rushers in the 1st either that I think would have a bigger impact than Porter.

Horn + Porter == set it and forget it at the CB position My only concern is their contracts coming up for renewal once after the other, but at least it's not a project QB in the top 10 like other mocks have shown.

Nicole Tepper is the Chief Administrative Officer for Tepper Sports and Entertainment, the holdings company that owns the Carolina Panthers. Whether or not she deserves to be in that role is for folks to fret over however they see fit. It is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why respond if you're not the one being referenced? Seems a little silly.

Anybody with an ounce of intellectual honesty can click back to page 3 of this thread and see the misogynistic behavior on full display. You might not have participated in it, but it's right there.

Worth mentioning also that Cam Turner followed Wilks out to Arizona and was there through this season as well after working himself up to Co-pass game coordinator/QB coach. Can't help but think that he's part of Wilks' plans for the offense that he had to present to Tepper. He also was here as the assistant WR coach (2015 - 2016) and then the assistant QB coach in 2017.

Good post is good.

I've come to expect nothing but pure and utter chaos during the NFL offseason when it comes to decision-making whether it be players, coaches, or executives.

Pulling for Bane to recreate the scene from The Dark Knight Rises

2023 they can cut him and save over $20.5M. Though idk if they're going to be confident with rolling out a QB drafted at #18

People are really riling themselves up over a 26yr old deciding to look out for his long term health instead of putting his career and future earnings at risk? It's not like the guy was checking out for Call of Duty double exp weekend. His injury was probably worse than what was diagnosed and/or there's been complications during the recovery. There's plenty of history with NFL teams and doctors not being as upfront about the severity of a player's injury. Good for Lamar. I hope that wherever he ends up, it's somewhere that will appreciate him as the person he is rather than treating him like an expendable commodity that most players are viewed as.

Because his current deal allows him to be cut in order to save the Lions $20.65M in cap space (it was a big reason why when DET was picking in the top 5 that QBs were being mocked to them). Though now that they're picking 18th, they're less likely to do it but crazier poo has happened.

QB carousel is going to be active again this offseason it looks Tom Brady Derek Carr Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold Jimmy Garoppolo Jacoby Brissett Geno Smith Carson Wentz Lamar Jackson? Jared Goff? Matt Ryan?

To add, in May 2020 the NFL also made it so that teams were not allowed to block assistants from interviewing for coordinator positions. So if Wilks does end up being retained, he can also retain Holcomb as the team will be in compliance with NFL rules as they'll have interviewed external candidates. Likely a mixture of staying in compliance as well as doing due diligence.

Hopefully because we won't keep McAdoo, but if whomever the HC is retains him then no other candidates are required to be interviewed. One recent change that I especially like is that teams cannot block

According to some posters here, Daniel Jones being drafted in the 1st instantly makes him better than the rest of those QBs listed

This makes sense when you consider that Al Holcomb was the interim DC and that the Rooney Rule was updated in 2021 to require at least one external minority candidate be interviewed for a coordinator job. Source: NFL Operations

Whichever one leads us to a Super Bowl victory.
