Good luck Steve, you got this!

For college basketball I don't think it matters as much. Lets be honest, since the age of one and done the college basketball product has gone down hill. It has been proven time and again that having the best talent doesn't win championships, look at Duke this year, number 1 recruiting class and they suck. Buying a bunch on 1 and done players isn't going to change that just different teams will now prove that formula doesn't work. Football is a little different, you at least get to keep those kids a couple of years

Admitting you made a mistake and learning from it. I like it, I like the process as described here and LOVE the fact that Tepper personally called Wilks to let him know vs having someone else do it.

Happy days are here again!

Good, now Scott knows were to make the cap saving cuts at

He is stressed, his legacy is in question. If he fails at Nebraska after failing here, he knows his career is basically over. Stress is a killer, literally. I hope he succeeds as well, I hope every human being does

Coincidence this comes out the day after Tepper admitted hiring Rhule was a mistake?

Opinion piece of course but I could see this happening Latest CBS Sports mock draft has Panthers trading up to No. 1 in blockbuster (msn.com)

Projecting Racism, if you keep screaming everything is racist because of most likelies then we never move forward with it. There was nothing racist about this, they stated from the very beginning they wanted an offensive minded coach and out of respect for a great man they kept him in the mix. Nothing more, nothing less

What exactly is Wilk's grip? Did you know that there were other white coaches interviewed with better resumes then both Wilks and Reich who also didn't get the job? Wilks has nothing to grip about and you're projecting here. Wilks is a great man, not a great coach, his record proves that, the fact that no other team has reached out to him proves that. Great men doesn't necessarily make a great coach and that is all that happened here

Maybe if they fire all of their coaches they won't be pre-season favorites to win the super bowl next year?! Ah hell what I am thinking, Jerry could be the GM, Coach and every other position coach and the media / fans would still have them has pre-season favorites

I'm sure Jerry has something to do with that

I've thought about this since the initial thread and the only thing I can come up with as the reason for keeping Burns is...the Panthers don't see a franchise QB in this class. I'm assuming that their thought was Burns was more valuable than any QB available. It's the only thing I can think of because you take that trade 10 out of 10 times if you felt you were getting your QB of the future or at least the ammo you need to try and get him.

Not who I wanted either but are you just trolling with this one?

If we make it through the weekend with no coach named I wonder if we pivot back to at least have a second interview

Just read that he isn't out of the race Kellen Moore is 'Not Out of the Race' for Panthers Job (msn.com) Not sure if that means much

Great write up Mr. Scot! Wasn't my first, second or third choice but it is sounding more and more like he is going to be the man so...he has my support

"Coaches are like QB's, you can't keep swinging unless they want to replace you as GM" -Scott Fritter

Thought it was already posted somewhere that he was one of few that was still under contract

He stayed in town, alone, to me is telling. Something must have been said during the interview that "lead" him to believe there was no reason to leave town to quickly

Love Wilks the man and if he ends up being our coach I will pull for him to do great things but I just don't see it happening. I really wish Ben Johnson didn't decide to pull out

Wonder what the off the field concerns are

One of the most important things, in my opinion, that a new owner...or any owner for that matter...can show is patience. Let's say he pulled Irsay or McNair no one really wants to work for them. Not learning would mean Payton would be hired, sure Rhule was the wrong choice, but he wanted to make a splash and he did! Many were on board with that when we hired him including me; and I don't think him showing patience with Rhule was a bad thing. But I'm with you, I want results, that's why I think he is learning, he knows he can't just hire someone like he did with Rhule, he and the organization are taking their time, doing the interviews, doing the research and hoping the make the right decision this time whether its a splash (Payton) or what we, as fans feel is a dud (Wilks) but "RIGHT" none the less

I respectfully disagree with this statement

Tepper is learning on the job. All the hate he gets from some of this fan base is overblown. I don't know anyone that goes into any job and masters it right away
