No, it's called looking back at the person's past work, especially at the position we are hiring them at, and making an opinion based on that. I'm not going to poo on every person we interview or bring in just because Rhule is still here.

This is the problem

You can't base a bad head coach as your decision on whether he is a good coordinator.

There are several coordinators, both offensively and defensively, in this league that bombed out as a head coaches but are top tier coordinators.   McAdoo may not have been a great head coach but has history as a decent coordinator.  

My biggest fear is that Rhule can't let go of his connections with the NYG, Baylor or Temple.  That may be his comfort zone but closing his mind to others may be his downfall.

Not if you choose the right guy.

I'm saying with so many options, they choice maybe taken away from us because there are so few actually good candidates, that 'sometimes the answer is on your roster'(for this year)

And now, we'd be the 10th team looking, if we joined the mosh pit of this huge HC carousel

My personal favorite candidate hasn't been hired...yet, but he's gotten second interviews from two teams.

There are interview windows for those guys.

Much as we all hate it, I genuinely think he's determined to keep Rhule for at least this season.

Yeah at this point, they have already hired a coordinator for him. Plus next year my guess is a much smaller turnover at HC. Won’t be competing with as many teams.
 

Somebody years ago, wrote an article and said owners start looking for head coaches the year before they fire them. They gauge their interest in the candidates and see how they do the following season. For some reason this keeps coming to mind when I think about us.

Possible, but I'm not sure I'd credit David Tepper with being that smart.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
