NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Baylor DC Phil Snow is expected to follow Panthers coach Matt Rhule to Carolina.

Rapoport said Snow "could" be the Panthers defensive coordinator, too. It's just a report right now, but coaches usually bring in the people they know best to fill their top assistant positions. At Baylor, Rhule and Snow brought a previously 1-11 team into the College Football Playoff hunt with an exciting offense and overachieving defense. Snow's only NFL coaching experience came in the mid-2000s as a linebackers coach with the Detroit Lions. He'd be a complete question mark if he were to be assigned defensive play-calling duties.

We better hope this guy is the next Wade Phillips, because Rhule apparently doesn't believe in firing coaches, ever

We're stuck with him for a very long time

 

Rhule will not be able to maintain that view in the NFL if he wants to stick around himself.

I initially was all aboard the Wade Phillips train, but looking further into his numbrers of late, I'm not as impressed. There was a tremendous amount of talent on that Rams defense and they haven't been that good for the past two years. 

He's an amazing coordinator, but I wonder how much his philosophies and style are adaptable to the NFL offenses that are evolving. 

As for Snow.... I would prefer him be on the staff, but maybe not DC. However, he did have a top-20 ranked defense nationally in a conference not known for defense, rather wide open offenses.

We mocked Rivera for poaching the entire Panthers coaching staff out of 'loyalty', but at least these were proven NFL guys.

It seems like we hired Rivera's dumber, fat cousin (from his analytically illiterate belief that you win by 'running the ball and stopping the run', to his obstinate belief in rewarding 'loyalty').  So we'll see how it goes trying to win in the NFL with a bunch of his Baylor cronies.

Correct.  His first losing season will require a sacrifice to the NFL football scapegoat gods.  Or we riot.  Honeymoon will be over on the huddle

Eh, Panthers fans are pretty passive and barely even make noise at games.

And Tepper has shown a coach can roll over on him.  He demanded Rivera fire Eric Washington, so Rivera just pretended he was going to take over play calling duties (allowing him to keep Washington on), and then just let Eric continue to call plays again.  Tepper got rolled.

We're stuck with his Temple/Baylor cronies for a long time.

Possibly, but I suspect they will get just a tad bit more rope than normal.   Unless it's really obvious it's a coaching issue then he will get at least 2 season to prove himself.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
