Joe Brady on the hot seat.

If we fire Joe Brady after he was one of the hottest coaching names in football while never giving him an OL or QB to work with, Tepper is REALLY gonna have to open the wallet to attract a decent replacement because anyone with other options will go somewhere else.

I'm not sure how he became one of the hottest coaching names with such a short resume.  Maybe he benefitted from the new young and upcoming craze.  Whatever it was he and Rhule don't seem to be on the same page when it comes to who can run it.

Not at all. There's a "hottest name in coaching" every year and you never hear from them again after that because they mostly flame out anyway.

Then they can look and see Joe Burrow play the same without him and then check the little resume he had and be like oh yea hurr wasn't much there to begin with.

Doubt he gets fired but like mostly happens he will more likely than not go be a HC, fail out, then back to being an OC somewhere where the world long forgot about him.

By heading up the mist prolific college offense of all time. Sure, there was a ton of talent on that team but that talent produced a pedestrian offense the year prior. Joe Burrow went from a likely late round flier pick to #1 overall.

It will be interesting to see Brady's career post-Carolina. I am assuming he is likely to get canned after this season, barring some major change at QB during the season. I see the set up coming, Rhule needs a scapegoat and Brady has the least ties to him.

IMO, Brady is not the biggest reason for our struggles offensively but he definitely has contributed over the past two seasons. I'd like to see how he rebounds after his time here and where he does. We may find out he was just elevated too early or perhaps he was never anything more than a product of being in the right place at the right time.

Yep. This is what people ignore. LSU had all of that same talent the previous year and looked mediocre. Brady was the difference-maker. 

I’m not terribly impressed with what he has done in Carolina so far, but he is dealing with serious talent deficiencies on the OL and has not had a QB nearly good enough to make up for it. It’s unlikely that he is the primary issue.

Brady was an assistant coach that year. He was the passing game coordinator and wr coach.

Steve Ensminger was the OC.

Everywhere Rhule has been he has produced a far better defense than offense. In college I think I looked it up before, but in 7 years he produced a top 25 defense 4 out of 7 years. He produced a top 25 offense... never. 

Oh right. I must have had it the other way around. I wish we would get an offensive minded head coach for once, feels like we haven't had someone that truly knows how to run an offence for well over a decade

It’s also worth noting that this is the first time Brady has been responsible for calling plays.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
