Reich might have had a better chance if Gettleman were still in charge.  They were together in Buffalo some years back.

As it stands. I have zero expectations that either Rivera or Hurney will be displaced anytime soon.  Hell, I'm not even willing to bet on Shula getting canned.

I don't care for Rivera's overly conservative approach, but I honestly do believe that a better OC would make a world of a difference.

I wasn't the world's biggest Rob Chudzinski fan, but I do have to admit he might have been better suited to coach Newton.

Shula's style is basically "let's try not to make any mistakes, while Chud was more "f--k it, let's go for it all!"

My only issue with Chud is that I thought it was pretty clear that he was coaching for himself and not the team. He wanted to be seen as the innovator and the catalyst behind our offensive success.

Then again, I think that's largely true with Shula as well, it's just that he doesn't have the mental chops to pull it off.

Chudzinski's dream job was to be head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He got the job, and in true Browns fashion was dumped after one season.

Does he still aspire to be a head coach? Don't know.

The guy was a bit of an egomaniac. Anyone who thought they could succeed in NFL coaching where Bill Belichick failed has to be a bit of an egomaniac.

Thinking you can succeed in Cleveland requires...a certain mindset.

Other thoughts on Reich?

    So, anyone else going to weigh in on this? Or just these two? 

 

    Yeah, were are 4-2, but hey, let's pretend. I am a Panther fan, and I just don't like how we play. I see other teams doing well, and I demand my team do so as well. 

 

    I demand that my expectations be met. I will not settle for less. I deserve wins, and I will not settle for less. I mean, who cares that wins in the NFL are difficult. I want wins, and I am going to rant and rave, until they happen.

 

    I mean, who cares that Dan Marino never won a SB, or Barry Sanders. That plenty of good, to great teams never won a SB. I am not those folks. I deserve this. And I am going to show my azz until it happens.

 

    Such is life in the instant gratification world.

Come on, Hub.

It's not like Rivera is still new and getting his feet wet. We know what we have in him. Ditto Shula. And Hurney? Please.

Making changes at head coach, GM or both hardly counts as instant gratification. We're talking about at least a two or three year process of transition, and probably not an easy one. Throw in that our roster right now, while good, is also kind of old. There'll be some changes needed there too.

I have no Illusions about things instantly and magically getting better. I know it'll be a rebuild, and a rough one.

That said, I'll take that happily over another three to five years of beating our heads against the wall with what we have now, and it's not even a difficult choice.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By HPPantherzfan · Posted

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
