Best Head Coach Opportunity per ESPN Radio


Wolfcop

Recommended Posts

Sorry, I didn't catch their names, but its live now. Both talking heads agreed...

The Panthers have the most attractive current opening.

Owner, who is largely an unknown at the moment, has big money and potential

Easy place to attract free agents

A lot of pieces in place to succeed (I know this is debatable,  but there are at least a few key pieces that will help take us through this transition).

There was a caveat that they felt Cam would be back, which is the great unknown of course.

 

I just wanted to share this bit of positivity in light of some of the negative pub and current feelings. Hang in there Panthers fans. We have pulled ourselves out of the pit before.

Happy New Year!

It’s more attractive than the Browns. Some would argue it’s more attractive than Dallas, if the Cowboys part ways with Garrett. Objectively, I’m not sure if I would agree with that. Every coach has their own preference for what they want. There are a lot of factors. 

I’ll say this: the “unknown” part about a new owner wouldn’t be a good selling point. I’m not sure I would shy away from that, if I was a candidate. But it certainly wouldn’t be an attractive element.

Really? I've been getting the vibe around here that we have Independence High Schools VJ scout team.

I'd say it's a good opportunity, though I'll grant that ESPN will probably change their choice of "best" to Dallas if and when that job opens up.

We kind of caught a break in that we're searching in a year when there aren't many other opportunities. Only three other teams are competing for talent. One is already finished, though one more might still happen.

Ellis you are someone whose opinion on league wide matters and objectivity I respect. Other than prestige based on accomplishments that were literally a generation or more ago, what makes Dallas an attractive place to coach?

I realize with Prescott they have a more solid qb situation than most places  with openings, but it’s not exactly like he’s a world beater, just not as bad as the bottom third of the league. Yes they have an outstanding oline, which is a plus, but mot teams have some talent somewhere on their roster if they aren’t picking top 5, and I honestly don’t get why this place is regarded as a desirable place to coach unless you’re just a media attention whore.

Enlighten me if you would sir.

Not ellis.

Owner has a sense of loyalty. Next coach will not be on a two year prove it deal. He will pay to get talent and as you mention the team is already legit. And if you like the spotlight you certainly have that. Plus the NFCE is for the taking...

Not good, not bad situation. It’s the unknowns. Unknown QB with and untested owner.

Mix in an inexperienced NFL coach (like an up and coming college coach) and that is a lot of pressure and unknowns. Even for a coordinator that will be progressing is going to be tough.

Some pieces are in place but the biggest ones are not (QB, oline, NT).

As much as I want and up and coming name instead of a retread I can see why someone with NFL HC experience would be important.

These unknown portion should be resolved during the interview process. If coaches start running for the hills, that would be a bad sign.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
