They already interviewed him the last cycle so I don’t expect him to be a serious candidate other than for the Rooney requirement 

And they made mistakes last time. They had their guy picked before interviewing others. And they screwed the pooch.

Go back and make it right.

I mean personally I wouldn’t mind giving Bienemy a shot. At the very least the team would probably be good for a season or two. Andy Reid’s offensive assistants don’t have the best long term track records though.

Every seat to every game of this year has already been paid for. It’s just a matter of whether those people that paid full price can recoup pennies on their dollar or whether they no show that is the question. 

Ticket revenue is only one part of the equation. When attendance is down that kills concession and other stadium gameday revenue (jersey sales etc). This is why NFL owners hate losing at home, because it suppresses the other revenue streams that fans tend not to think about. People who aren't at the stadium tend not buy 10 dollar beers and 8 dollar hot dogs from you.

Reportedly EB wanted to keep Cam and, at that time Tepper didn't. I don't think that would be an issue now.

With EB, the fact that he is an Andy Reid coordinator gives me pause. Those guys tend to go the same way as Belichick coordinators. 

Also, there's rumors of some skeletons in his closet from his time at Colorado that might rear their ugly head when he gets a head coaching job.

My advice to Tepper;

Stop putting so much freaking trust in analytics and look around you at what has been working for eons. 
 

In other words, people who have experience on NFL sidelines(more than just a year) are better suited to coach NFL teams than people who have spent their entire career in college.

Eric Bieniemy please 

Rivera went on a million interviews before Carolina hired him. Bieniemy should get a chance. 

One of the biggest issues with this team is we have an OC that had no experience calling plays and was carried by a generational QB and generational wide receivers and people wanna hire a guy that doesnt call plays and is carried by a generational QB and a generational tight end and generational wide receiver to be our head coach

no thanks

hard part about Andy Reid coordinators, is that overall, Reid has historically been the playcaller in Philly and KC.  

and you got to think Reid is still doing a lot of that today despite EB getting the credit.  Unless, EB has the identical tendencies that Andy Reid does.

On that note, what names do you think Daboll would bring along with him if he was hired as HC?

Haven't done a real thorough look there but based on past connections here are some possible options among coaching staffs likely to be dismissed:

- Juan Castillo, OL Coach, Bears (one of the best in the league at that spot)
- Patrick Graham, DC, Giants (he's getting head coaching looks himself)
- Ed Donatell, DB Coach, Broncos (he's also been a DC before, and a good one)
- Adam Zimmer, LB Coach/co-DC, Vikings (if theyclean house, dad Mike might be available too)

As far as potential promotions, there's Jaguars QB Coach Brian Schottenheimer (possible OC) Bills LB Coach Bob Babich (DC option) Chiefs QB Coach Mike Kafka (no connection but a hot name and reportedly not under contract for next season) and our old pal Ken Dorsey (also a possible OC).

Daboll has also worked with a few of the guys on the current Panthers staff, specifically LB Coach Al Holcomb, Defensive Assistant Terrance Knighton, RB Coach Jeff Nixon and Assistant OL Coach Tony Sparano Jr.

This is what so many people don't understand.  Tepper gets his attendance money before the season even starts.  He doesn't care.

very sad conversation we are having in this  Thread

Makes it pretty hard to get that new stadium when it’s filled with the opposing teams”fans and make no mistake if Rhule continues, that’s what it will be. 

Not a good look when an owner has his hand out to the city and state to ‘pay their share’ for a new stadium  

This mess is totally self inflected by Tepper and he is the only one who can make it right 

I’ve lived through Capers, Seifert, Fox, Rivera. 

the difference is each of those men had a  NFL resume.

Rhule was an atrocious hire  he has nothing, absolutely nothing on his resume, that indicates he should have been given the keys to a $2.9 billion Pro franchise   Nothing

I don't know if anyone remembers this but when Rhule was hired, they had a whole mini documentary made. In that, Tepper says something along the lines of he went in and spoke some but Hurney did most of the talking at some point and he was all in on Rhule. After Hurney was fired Tepper said he wasn't as involved as he would have liked to have been and didn't bring the same level of thinking to the football world that he had in the finance world. He let the football guys run the show. Problem was Hurney ( and I'd imagine so leftovers from the Richardson era ) convinced Tepper Hurney was a "football guy" when he was just a moron. HOPEFULLY he has learned. It looks like he has some actual talent in the front office now. God Hurney must be one smooth talking motherfuger.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
    • Dan Vladar is their best player and that is going to be the difference in the series 
    • Nothing about the Flyers scare me. They are a mid team that just barely made the playoffs.
