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.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
