At what point, though, do we not just expect Foley at ST coach and Knighton or Johnson on DL (esp. Knighton, since if he's not qualified his odds of getting the job skyrocket), and let's just go ahead and pencil in Sparano, because that's a lock

Hard to say.

From my understanding, Okam's connection to Rhule didn't go back as far as some others. Sparano and Gilbride are primarily connected to him through their fathers.

I think the new OC will have a big hand in it. 

Possible. Would probably be a good thing.

That said, Rhule's already being forced out of his comfort zone for the new OC as is. I wonder how much farther that can go.

Blackburn's assistant (Ed Foley) was Rhule's ST coach at Baylor.

On the DL side, Rhule could promote pass rush specialist Don Johnson or conceivably his old Temple player Terrance Knighton, though Knighton would be kind of a surprise because he's extremely underqualified.

OL Coach is arguably the most important choice here. There are very highly regarded options out there in Mike Munchak and Juan Castillo, but Rhule could settle for just promoting Tony's Sparano Jr or calling on former OL assistant Marcus Satterfield if he wanted to come back to the NFL.

lol satterfield just got handed the keys to a free pac 12 head coaching job in 2023, he isn’t going anywhere

There's also this guy...

Word was that Flaherty was up for the OL job when Rhule was making his initial hires. He never materialized though.

Probably a better choice than Tony Sparano Jr but I certainly wouldn't take him over a guy like Munchak, Castillo or even Doug Marrone.

On the DL side, there's a very good option available off the Broncos staff. Longtime DL Coach Bill Kollar has a very solid reputation in that role.

You could also go after best in the business in Rod Marinelli if you think he's still up for it. He coached with the Raiders last year but he's 70 plus years old.

A token sacrificial offering of a bunch of guys Matt rhule doesn’t really know or care to work with 

 

Basically this. Remember when we were excited that they moved on from Brady? Yeah that excitement lasted about 10 mins because he was replaced with a yes man and moron

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.

      Evero and the pass rush

      I'd give anything to go back to a 4-3 but we are so removed from having the pieces for that. All because Tepper wanted to force this 3-4 on all our coaches.
