Panthers lead the league in minority coachers

I don't honestly know whether they've made a concerted effort to do this or not.

My general belief was that they just hired whom they considered the most qualified person available and it just fell out this way.

Could be wrong. Don't know.

I agree.

Hire people who can do the job. Give them what they need to succeed.  Get out of their way and let them do their job.  

Or something along those lines.

I can see why you'd see things that way, but I don't believe that this situation is so black and white (perhaps a pun or two unintended, intended, and steeped in irony).

I'll just leave it at that.

63% of the US is white (so sayeth the google) So any team who's coaching staff hovers around 60-65% white seems to be in line with the overall demographics of the US. 

I personally don't give a poo what color you are as long as you're the best dude for the job. When McDermott gets a head coaching job (which I'm sure he will within the next 3 years) I fully expect Wilks to take over as D-Coordinator. I don't think he'll get it because he's black, I think he'll get it because he's the next best guy for the job moving forward.

No seriously. If you look at the chart, you'll notice a couple of interesting stats:

  • Overall record for top 5: 48-32
  • Overall record for bottom 5: 34-46
  • # of top 5 teams with 10 wins: 3
  • # of bottom 5 with 10 wins: 2
  • # of top 5 teams with dumba$$ owners: 0
  • # of bottom 5 teams with dumba$$ owners: 2 (3 if you include Pat's Kraft)

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
