I have no idea what their ultimate plan was, and neither does anybody else around here.  Seems to me they got the guy they wanted.

They clearly got the guy they wanted. That’s not really the point, though, is it. Unless you think it’s all a ploy, which is dumb, then they clearly saw value in the original plans they made for interviewing the candidates who they will now not be interviewing. That is called a change of plans. I believe in interviewing many candidates because it can help protect against becoming infatuated with just one and making a poor decision.

The amount of salt and self-righteousness over my post is kind of weird. Just not a fan of abandoning the process. That’s all. Nothing to get all worked up over. I really hope he is everything that Tepper and Marty thinks he is, and more. I hope he’s the best coach of all time. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with how they handle their hiring process, from what we know of it.

Damn.

You call that salt?  I have not even begun to become salty yet.

Rhule needs to send a Christmas card to Kliff Kingsbury. The Cardinals still had their issues this year, and played in a stacked division, but they looked much improved over 2018. It showed Tepper a college guy could have some success in the NFL.

One thing that I've been thinking about with the statements that college coaches don't work in the NFL.  I'm wondering if we are seeing a new era, sure they didn't work in the past but todays NFL is completely different.   Notice QB's and their play, pocket passers aren't the golden rule anymore, spread offenses that give a mobile QB room to roam are becoming more the norm and mobile QB's as well.  I think we will see more college coaches coming into the league and the old guard slowly start moving out.  Panthers are ahead of the curve, we are going to start setting examples for everyone else to follow instead of trying to follow what is already there; i.e. Patriots and Steelers

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
