There's a good reason EB has not sniffed a HC job, despite being minority status and the league's Rooney Rule.

I've heard that before, and apparently it's something Ben Albright brings up frequently.

(I haven't followed Albright that much in the past but maybe someone who has can elaborate)

Past discussion has been about his criminal record but McCoy seems to think it's more about what kind of person / coach Bieniemy is.

Obviously there is something looming in the background there that is keeping teams from signing him on...

...what is it?

Sounds like hes not the nicest guy to work for.  Probably belittles and demeans the players a lot.  

Yeah, sounds like he might be one of those old school coaches that is overtly abusive/negative. 

This adds up to why he hasn't been elevated to HC status. It would make a lot of sense.

I still need a more reputable source than a disgruntled malcontent. Pot and kettle situation is very possible and I would guess probable. 

He was a backup they leaned on after the Bills dumped him to get through injuries early in thr year if I remember correctly.

Meh, hardly definitive and given the source it's certainly not a 'fact' because Shadey said so lol

Does that mesh with Reid, though? Reid doesn't seem like that type.

He's right in at least one sense though. Bieniemy keeps getting interviewed but not hired. Gotta figure there is some reason for that.

Yep but again that source is suspect AF.

Is he abusive or just told McCoy to STFU? Catering to divas and being a butthole is not the same. I don't know, I just have more questions after this.

Edit: If it is the diva route then he will never be a HC because every billionaire owner is a giant diva...

It's hard to say. This is just one guy saying it. If more guys step forward and say the same thing publicly, I guess you have the answer.

Yeah, it could all just be sour grapes. But, there is something up about why EB hasn't been hired. If there were NO other minority coaches getting hired, I would lean towards good ol boy network but has happened a couple of times since EB was on the radar.

There is definitely something up.

Reasonable to question...

I know Ben Albright has been mentioned as somebody who's spoken about this. I haven't seen any of that but maybe others have.

Absolutely without a doubt. This is not definitive tho. Whatever it is it sounds like he doesn't play well with some and that includes Owners...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
