Please don't let this happen.

First official connection to Matt Rhule it looks like. That would be an awesome hire.

[LinvilleGorge]

If we hire him, I hope I'm wrong and he turns out to be great but I really don't want this to happen.

I think McCarthy was similar to Rivera in GB, and it just was past that team's time, and I think he'd work fine for us for a few years. I wouldn't hate it as much as college coach for the sake of chasing trends (y'all know defenses adapt too, right.)

That said I think Josh McDaniels would be great and the most likely to keep Can on, as well as I think McDaniel's knowledge and Cam's leadership would make an excellent combo in Charlotte.

Rhule is the 2a to McCarthy's 2b, I think he'll want to bring in his own guy but I'd love to see what he can do with Moore and Cmc.

Through all of this, though, really curious as to who our DC would be.

Can't believe people think it's a bad idea to see Cam with an offensive guru like McCarthy

This would be an awful hire, but the most Panther thing ever. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

[BerryLoMein]

If this happens I need a new team.

McCarthy is intriguing. He is certainly more of a sure thing than any college coach.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mike McCarthey from 2009-2016 all winning seasons. ALL WINNING SEASONS. I will gladly take 7 straight years of winning seasons and 5 years of playoffs and one super bowl. Unless you guys want to have three years of rebuilding he is our best option. My opinion.

Rogers was carrying him.  They changed coach and continue to do well despite doing so.

I totally agree, though I think more of McCarthey than most in this board, but that DC worries me tremendously.

He had Favre and Roger's his whole time. He had a good front office. We have qbs coming out of a clown car and no one knows what system we run in order to get talent. Sorry, but he had all the advantages there he wont have here. That is a disaster in the making.

I believe Rodgers was out two of those years with broken shoulder, etc.
