Panthers likely targeting a college coach, my best guess

[Jeremy Igo]

So it isn't difficult to surmise after yesterday's press conference that David Tepper wants to get a good long look at college coaches and he wants to be among the first to do so. Firing Ron yesterday allows him to freely and openly make calls to college coaches. Word would have quickly gotten back to Ron if Tepper started making phone calls. The right thing to do was to let him go and openly search for a new head coach.

What we can infer about a David Tepper head coach prospect;

- A coach open to analytics. This indicates a younger mindset and not old school go with your gut. (Ok Boomer) 

- An offensive mind. Tepper has stated the trend currently is an offensive coach. Likely because the current NFL rules favor the offense so heavily.

One guy that fits this description perfectly is Baylor's head coach Matt Rhule. Here is a brief rundown of his qualifications...

- Former college player

- 20 years coaching experience

- OL coach under Tom Coughlin 

- Has been positions coach on both sides of the ball, including QB.

- Turned Baylor's program around quickly from door mat to conference contender. Went from 1-11 to 11-1 in two years.

- All of this and is only 44 years old. 

Pair Rhule with Scott Turner as OC and the Carolina Panthers could have a solid coaching staff ready to rebuild on day 1.

Assistants not in the playoffs can be interviewed.

True, but most of not all worth talking to are in the playoffs.

I read a vague rule. Found something that clarified.

It did say that college coaches typically are not interviewed until after they coach their bowl game. 

I cant find anything specifically stating no contact.  Just no interviews. Can they put out fealers to agents?

They definitely can. Interviews don't happen until initial talks have happened and interest/fit explored. Would be a waste of time otherwise.

What about the Baltimore offense guy.  Lots of creative plays it’s a joy to watch.

Rhule turned down the Jets because he would not keep assistants in place, so Turner could be iffy.

Roman would be a solid interview for sure. How long until Baltimore is out of the playoffs I wonder.

[Moo Daeng]

Unless they keep Fewell the chance Scott Turner remains OC seems slim. I hope Teppee wouldn't force a coordinator on a new coach

Any shot at Lincoln Riley?

[MtnJax]

Why not Dabo Swinney?

Tepper would hire Riley or Dabo in a second. It’s highly unlikely either would take the job though.

Nothing about Dabo says NFL head coach. He is largely a product of having great coordinators. He has also never been more than a positional coach, so he doesn't fit the "young offensive mind."

Dabo is a goddamn fuging moron and the biggest piece of poo in college football this side of nick saban

he has the best resources in the country, in part because he sucks so much evangelical cock. clemson's football program is drowning in jesus money and he is the primary reason why. they baptize clemson recruits and players at midfield in giant ice baths. its fuging weird

on top of that the economic boom that the greenville spartanburg area is experience as they have entered modernity has flowed almost exclusively into like crossfit gyms and the clemson football department. Clemson likely has top four football facilities in the country, up there with LSU, Oregon, and Alabama. (Also Arkansas' which Ryan Mallett famously claimed were nicer than the cincinnati bengals'). Players at Clemson get complimentary chef prepared meals with perfect macros. once they're done training in the best facilities money can buy, they ride their complimentary scooters over to their player exclusive relaxation facility, complete with on call masseuses, acupuncturists, video game arcades, and anything else you could conceivably think of some 19 year old wanting. poo, there's even a lazy river exclusive to the football players (and whatever girl they can sneak in though that's strictly forbidden and against the shining light of the lord wink wink)

Clemson essentially bribes their players, and yet dabo still has the audacity to claim he'll retire in disgust when players start collecting pay checks.

What about coaching? That thing that Dabo does none of? Clemson has the highest paid coordinators in the country. Jeff Scott made over a million dollars last year after bonuses. Brent Venabels made around 2.5 million to be defensive coordinator, making him one of the highest paid coaches in the country AS A COORDINATOR. 

So yeah, that's not going to translate into the pros at all.

What about recruiting? That thing that took Dabo a fuging decade to get good at because the evangelicals kept him there? Well at this point it's become self sustaining. Players understand that they'll go to clemson, compete for a national championship, play a cupcake schedule, have on call blowjobs from asian masseuses (in a very christian way of course) and get drafted in the first. Dabo just shows up, screams about jesus for thirty minutes, then the recruit figures out where they'll get on the field fastest between OSU, Clemson, Alabama, and LSU. 

None of this translates to the NFL. Players would fuging laugh at him there. He wouldn't be able to recruit players to sign with the Panthers. He wouldn't be able to scare them into complying since all the players have already made it and they would make more than him anyway. He can't talk to adults because he's an autistic jesus freak. And lets just say his politics are a little regressive. He threatened his football players with going to the white house with the understanding that if they said no they would never play. Notice that not a single player going to get drafted showed up to that pitiful fast food party? How it was just undersized white kids grabbing as many double cheese burgers as they could? Yeah those were the bums that are terrified of him and hope to one day take part in the victory formation. The dude is a nazi. And if you read that and you feel personally attacked good; fug you.

He would be the largest, most embarrassing failure in NFL history and he is everything that is wrong with college football.

In closing fug Dabo, fug Clemson, fug their fans, and fug every single poster on this board who waddles into every thread going "well why dont we just go get dabo" because you don't know fug about poo.
