Harbaugh to Miami - he and their owner are both Michigan guys and good friends. 

Rhule to Michigan 

Flores to Carolina

 

It really is a 3-ring circus!!!

I'm still really surprised that Flores was fired. He had really seemed to hit on something in Miami in the 2nd half a of the season. Seemed like there was a lot to build on there.

I think he probably ends up with the Giants job.

I think the Giants are a possibility, but I also think the Giants and Daboll have mutual interest.

Miami is my favorite AFC team, 2nd favorite team behind the Panthers. I was a Miami fan before Carolina got a team. I still follow them closely.

Flores - his teams have started slow each year and came on strong. A lot of that is personnel change over each offseason as Miami had a lot picks recently. His defenses have been really good most of the time. We have good defensive personnel here for his defensive schemes, better personnel than he had in Miami. The biggest concerns from the Miami side is the handling of Tua, and that he has had 4 offensive coordinators in 3 years. I will add that believe it or not, their Oline was/is actually a good bit worse than ours. Their Oline ranks near or may be the worst ever recorded this year. 

My opinion Flores would be a good hire, but he must bring better Offensive coaches than he had in Miami

I could be wrong but as an outsider looking in, I just don't think that Flores was ever on the Tua wagon. Kinda feels like Tua was forced on him and they were never on the same page.

I keep hearing it was mutual between Flores, Grier, and Ross to draft Tua. Where it went south was when Deshaun Watson became available. DW's fiance lives a couple houses down on the same neighborhood as Flores, and apparently DW and Flores have a good relationship. This drove a lot of the DW to Miami rumors because Flores wanted him. Their GM is just a yes middle man. Owner Ross said they could pull the trigger on a trade if all 22 counts were taken care of first. When 4 of the 22 refused to settle, Ross put a stop to the trade.  Flores wanted to pull the trigger anyway.

Makes sense.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
