Breer: Panthers next coach to have "considerable say"

From Breer's article about the NFL coaching carousel...

NFL Coaching News and Rumors

•  Everyone I’ve talked to believes that Carolina, with new owner David Tepper captaining a small search committee, will go through a full process in the search for its next head coach. Former Packers coach Mike McCarthy has already interviewed, and the search is expected to include a college coach or two (those interviews are usually done covertly). 

Tepper could tap into the Patriots’ pipeline, so keep an eye out for offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels; McDaniels could perhaps pursue New England pro director Dave Ziegler to fill the assistant GM role/become assumed successor to GM Marty Hurney. But McDaniels will have to win the job, and I know that Tepper would be respectful to the Krafts by not hiring away too many of their people. One thing that could appeal about the Carolina job to McDaniels? I’m told the coach will have considerable say over the football operation, in areas like strength-and-conditioning, training and video. The average fan doesn’t pay much attention to that, but coaches do care about it.

• And as for Tepper being respectful to the Krafts, it’s certainly possible the Patriots work to hang on to Ziegler. Both director of player personnel Nick Caserio and director of college scouting Monti Ossenfort are on contracts expiring in May. That makes Ziegler the only guy on that level in scouting signed into next season. And if there is a scouting exodus, similar to last offseason coaching exodus? Well, Bill Belichick confidant Scott Pioli, a key cog in building the original iteration of the dynasty, is available.

• Speaking of Ossenfort, among those on my risers list in this year’s future GMs column, he and Saints pro director Terry Fontenot received mention as guys who are pretty upwardly mobile.

Worth noting that the control aspects Breer is talking about here are the reason why McDaniels didn't end up taking the Colts job. He wanted control in those areas but Colts GM Chris Ballard didn't want to give them up.

Could Tepper be saying these things as a way of appealing to McDaniels? Don't know. It's possible, but Breer also points out that these things could be important to any potential candidate.

Also worth remembering that in an interview after he was fired, Ron Rivera complained about not having enough control.

It all depends on the coach on which way this could go. Ron with more control sounds like an epic disaster. For this to work the coach has to have skills and be honest with themselves because no one is perfect accross the board so they need to find people to work with that masks their weaknesses. An enabler will go down in flames and bring the team with them.

Well, I guess McD didn't learn anything from his crash and burn in Denver. It was widely reported that giving McD too much control too soon was a big part of why things went south so quickly with the Broncos. He blew that roster up and then ultimately got fired for his very on videotaping scandal.

Breer seems fixated on McDaniels. I wouldn't mind it but I've seen a lot of folks opposed to it. Regardless, 80% of the fanbase will hate whoever gets hired.

I just hope the coach that does get the opportunity has the chance to get the right pieces in place to put him in the best position to succeed.

Side Note: Breer says the Redskins might be interested in Ron Rivera.

The political correctness of this would be intense.  A Puerto Rico/Mexican working in Washington for a team named after a minority group's skin color owned by a white elitist moron.

Take that, America.

Bolded part is very true!

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
