Let's talk coaches

[PanthersATL]

If we do end up needing to pick up a new HC this off-season (or earlier!!!), who is realistically on the list?

Chances are we won't be able to talk to Eric Bieniemy until late January at the earliest. What other names are you thinking?

Someone who comes from an actual NFL coaching background would be a nice plus. I don't want some guy whose ceiling is the Outback Bowl.

There have been some hiring rule changes for this season:

... beginning in the upcoming hiring cycle, teams are allowed to interview a candidate for a head coach position during the final two weeks of the regular season with the consent of the employer club. The interview can be virtual, and once the employing team gives consent, the candidate will be able to interview for any open head coach role.

A position is considered "open" if the head coach that started the season is no longer employed by the club, or has received notice he will no longer be with the club in the following season. As it was prior to these changes, candidates not currently employed by a team are free to interview as they please.

Hackett, Eberflus, Daboll

If we make a move Nathaniel Hackett should definitely be a front runner

[Asaria]

I wouldn't be shocked if McDaniels is considered by Tepper, if only because his interview was cancelled thanks to Rhule being hired. One has to wonder if Tepper is looking at McDaniels with regret, since McDaniels not only did decently last year(Despite the narrative, Cam wasn't awful); and this year has helped Mac Jones become the best rookie QB by far.

I'd call Daboll the most likely candidate, but to me Hackett is far and away the best candidate.

See even Matt Rhule’s handler agrees

[CPantherKing]

Byron Leftwich HC

Dameyune Craig OC

Bob Babich DC

Luke Kuechly Assistant DC (hopeful) should have realized he knew this coaching staff was garbage when he resigned as a pro scout for the Panthers

Chris Weinke Assistant OC (hopeful)

GM... Greg Olsen

That's what I'd want to see.

I know of a guy with 13 years NFL experience (18 overall) whose dad also spent 27 years coaching in the league (42 overall).

That work?

Yes. That person sounds like they might have some credibility.

Hackett and his dad have connections going all the way back to Bill Walsh. He basically grew up around the NFL.
