Personnel staff changes?

It's the time of year for that sort of thing.

Some speculation on that front...

First off, we have an opening to fill. The Panthers parted ways with Pro Personnel Director (and Jerry Richardson grandson) Matt Allen. They'll want to fill that role, and one guy with both Scott Fitterer and Carolina Panthers connections who I'd love to see come aboard is Seattle personnel guy Trent Kirchner. Given his current title in Seattle though, I don't know if he's an option. Could also look to somebody from Dan Morgan's history since pro personnel is kind of this thing.

Second, many of us have been coveting Kevin Colbert pretty much since David Tepper bought the team. With the draft finished, his Steelers contract is officially over, and he's made clear in recent months that he's "stepping down" as opposed to retiring. That could translate into a lesser role with the Steelers, or possibly a job with someone else. Could he come here in a consultant type role? Don't know, but I think it'd be great if he did.

Kinda related to that, the news that Scott Fitterer has been given the go ahead to basically reshape the personnel department as he sees fit tells me that Tepper trusts him. He and Morgan both have connections to people I'd love to see part of the Panthers organization (Lake Dawson and the aforementioned Kirchner for example) so I'll be watching to see who they could bring in.

For those interested in this sort of thing, Neal Stratton (@InsideTheLeague) is a good follow.

Why do I have the gut feeling that Ben MacAdoo and/or Steve Wilks weren't just brought in to be oc/secondary coach but possibly to be Rhule's successor? 

It's possible, or if not "successor" at least "interim".

Preferably a beach house in NC not South Carolina 

It's been a while since I lived (or even visited) Brunswick County but from all that I gathered from my friends from high school and family that lives down there is that it is booming. I could totally see Colbert buying a beach house on Holden Beach or Ocean Isle Beach

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
