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.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
