was that Pep? Was LSU’s record breaking season Joe Brady?  

Current OC had a top tier pass attack the year prior when then GM traded away Nuk Hopkins.  Yeah, he had Watson but there wasn’t much in Hou then either. 

Gets hard to tell sometimes.  Passing game coordinator isn’t calling the O. 

if Pep is that good….why has he bounced around so heavily since he was fired in Indy.   He basically has turned into a one year bounce around rental. 

He was the QB coach Herbert’s rookie year when he won rookie of the year. He also worked with Luck in Stanford and the Colts. It’s a more extensive resume than Brady. I’m not saying he is the next guru, but he tends to get a lot out of young QBs if the talent is there. The bouncing around is definitely alarming, but it’s a step up from a very inexperienced Brady looking good one year in college with an extremely loaded offense. Joe Brady may be good down the road, he just needs more experience.

As I said, he is an improvement over anything Rhule has had to date.   But that isn’t saying much.  

He basically has a new job every year.   Not sure he has really hung around long enough to fail or succeed anywhere. 

his only OC job I felt was strictly because he had relationship with Luck from Stanford.  Is he a NFL OC if he wasn’t Luck’s college OC? 

 

It appears Pep was just in the wrong place at wrong time. He wasnt short term due to his capabiltiies, but rather the coaches he worked for were fired after a single year. He has been in the league for a long time, and has worked on many different teams. He has called plays successfully at the pro level, and was an assistant head coach in CLE. 

He checks the boxes.

Might be a case of wrong place at the wrong time. 

He also checks off the box he could take over as interim.  Legit NFL OC time, XFL HC, etc.  Because Matt Rhule will still be Matt Rhule.

Hope he enjoys trying to turn Kenny Pickett into a starting caliber QB.

I have nothing against Pickett. I think people that were down on him are the same who were down on Mac. They are the boring, pro ready QBs whose film check a lot of the boxes, but they won’t wow you at the combine. I’m still thinking Carson Strong is being overlooked to a degree.

Also found it utterly depressing that the GM made sure note it was Rhule’s hire.   Not his.  He was there if Matt wanted input but Matt doesn’t know offense Rhule is picking the OC. 

what exactly is the point of Fitt? Tepper could save some money and not have a fake GM.  Rhule is a bad version of Bill O’Brien. 

Every coach in the league has the power to hire their own assistants.

Some of them just happen to suck at it.

Rhule dials up Pep-

Pep- "Hello<Rhule jumps in "This is had coach of the carolina panthers Matt Rhule speaking>"

Pep- "there.." "Nice to hear form you Matt"

Rhule- "Only refer to me as Head Coach"

Pep. "...ok"

Rhule- "Look here Im in the market for another scapego..., I mean OC"

Pep- "Sounds<Rhule jumps in again-"Head coach Rhule!!!, you see Peps its like jeopardy you have to answer in the form of a question, but use Head Coach Rhule, ok?"

Pep-<more confused....> "Head Coach Rhule"

Rhule- "THATS IT!!! see thats part of the progress I teach here as the Carolina Panthers HC"

Pep- "Head Coach Rhule...... who do you plan on having as QB??"

Rhule- "Sam Darnold of course"

Rhule-"pep you still there?"

I see talk linking Pep to a Watson trade. This is Pep's first year in Houston and he has only worked with Watson on the practice field. If you want to hire a coach to truly get linked to Watson, then fire Snow and hire Brian Flores as your DC. It was said today that Flores relationship with their owner, GM, and Tua was not good due to him pushing for Watson. Owner and GM are behind Tua. Flores was the attraction to Miami for DW

Interesting that Pep and O’Connell are both being viewed as HC candidates. 

Maybe Tepper has taken away Rhule’s offensive role all together and he can just be the ra-ra coach he is and lay his fortunes on the defense with Phil.

If we do poorly then poooosh—-Kevin O’Connell or Pep Hamilton become interim or maybe long term.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
