Kupchak Cleaned House


Recommended Posts

So as everyone knows, Clifford was canned. However, Kupchak also canned pretty much everyone outside of the assistant coaches and that was simply because he wants coaches to be available to the players during their offseason workouts. Kupchak even elected to let Noel Gillespie go, the head coach of the Greensboro Swarm. If his makeover of the operations side of the Hornets is indicative of how he plans to handle the roster, we could be in for a wild offseason.

Good, losing is unacceptable and maybe it will finally be treated as such. Shitty ass mcw's exit statement somes up the loser attitude of the hornets.

But don't worry he had a great time collecting damn near 3 million dollars to suck complete ass.

in Cliff's defense - Kemba stated, he himself, recruited him and brought him in here.. But Cliff needed to diagnose the problem and fix it - instead he let it fester.. one of the main reasons he's gone..

I don't get the local media's obsession with defending Cliff. Cho sucked but Clifford never maximized the pieces that were given to him. 

I understand why - Cliff was very candid with reporters when asked about players and how the team performed.. he didnt have the canned "coach-speak" for them.. I appreciated that as well.. and when you compare Cliff to the other jokers we had in here for the past decade - he stands out as the only competent coach (aside from LB)..

but that doesn't save him by any means and he needed to go - but i understand why the media "defends" him.. or doesn't jump at the chance to roast him - like most other markets would..

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
