Good coach but way too many blowout losses. It seemed it wasn't no in between...  like we either blew out someone or got blew out.  Marc Jackson would be my choice  but it is a few good options out and got to see what Utah does with their coach.

Good. Those play-in blowout losses in back to back years were unacceptable as was the team defense. I liked him as a person and he had some redeeming qualities in player development but still, this team needs a new and better leader for sure.

Said it should've been done after the play-in massacre against the Pacers last season.  It's the right move.

I agree with others, JB seems like a cool dude and a good man, but just as some guys make for better/elite OCs and DCs in football but just aren't good HCs, Borrego is a great talent developer, but he is not a HC.  Great guy to have on your staff, but he is not the guy that should be captain of the ship...  too many blowouts, bad rotations, constantly getting outschemed and outcoached, playing favorites over better options, etc.  And again, when we needed a win, we often not only didnt get it, but got blown out in the process when it mattered.  This is a relief...  and so many good coaches out there - Jay Wright and Mark Jackson would be at the top of my list.  D'Antoni is up there too.

Yup. It'll be interesting to see if Bouknight/Thor/Kai can get some actual minutes under a new HC.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
