Pederson might have more than one offer. He's got an established record and a ring to his name.

Younger guys are still looking for their first job so they can make a name for themselves.

You're not likely to see a guy turn down offers too often.

*cough* Josh McDaniels *cough*  Seriously, the list is very short.  I remember when Bill Cowher's name kept being brought up for job openings several years after he left the Steelers, but he always declined.

They might be able to hire a defensive oriented head coach like Matt Eberflus, knowing he has some decent defensive players to build around. 

But if you’re an offensive head coach like Doug Pederson, why would you pick a team like the Panthers when a team like Jacksonville has a franchise QB in place.

Because he can pick a young qb and groom him.  Bring in a seasoned OC and go get some free agents for the oline 

there are no draft picks to help. It has to be free agency

The only concern Panthers fans should have is will Tepper fire Rhule this year or won't he?

Being able to replace Rhule with a better coach isn't going to be a problem.

I agree that we can find a coach.  Tepper needs to let Dan Morgan and other former players in the front office give their opinions.  As far as firing Rhule, it might not happen and I'll be pissed if it don't.

John Fox inherited a 1-15 team and had a respectable 7-9 record his first year with Rodney Peete as the QB. His 2nd year, Hurney brought in Jake and they went to the Super Bowl. This Panthers team has some talent but it is hard to see with the college coaching staff.

That answers your question.  With the contract Rhule has any coach would come here for that money.

But that breeds complacency and poor results on the field. Ever heard the expression being “born on second case and thinking you hit a double”? Matt Rhule came to the Panthers as one of the top 10 highest paid head coaches and he’s been one of the worst head coaches in his two seasons. If Tepper throws big money at the next coach and it isn’t someone like Pederson who has a Super bowl ring to back it up, it’s going to end the same way no matter who they hire.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
