Who was our best game day coach?

I remember him. He used to stand on the sidelines like a corpse emotionless. I was young but I called him zombie coach. It appeared they wheeled him out on a lift like a statue and then wheeled him back in when the game was over. That guy truly did not give a crap and was just standing there collecting a paycheck. I thought he was a great coach with the 49ers but apparently he was riding some coat tails with someone else's roster as he was bottom of the barrel bad and cared not one bit about it. What an ass he was. I think a dead body was more animated than that waste of space.

Fox and Company....Skipper Henning etc were pretty good at situation management 

It was between Fox and Rivera because they took us to the SB. Fox gets my vote. 

Rivera did nothing at half time to help our offense.  We could have won that game had Rivera/Shula made some adjustments.  

Dan Henning changed our entire gameplan at halftime since the Cheatriots knew everything we were running.  That move by Henning gives my nod to Fox.  While Henning was responsible, Fox gets some of the credit.

That's gonna be a tough one.

Rivera either couldn't or wouldn't adjust in the second half so we always faltered there.

Hard to say Fox because he pulled that bullsh-t against the Cardinals.

Capers? 🤔

I was gonna say Capers, but he wasn't too far off from the cautious defensive guys Fox and Rivera were. They all were "play it safe" guys at their core. When we were down I never expected much in the way of an ability to adjust and come back. Rivera had a little moment where he tried but the reverted back to his cautious default.

I might say Rivera because he had that "riverboat ron" moment but then turned back into "paddle boat ron".

So there not really anyone that has stood out. None were all that great.

We've read stories about guys like McDaniels, McVay, Reid and others making crazy on -the-fly adjustments in games that turned out to be brilliant.

Be nice to have someone that could consistently do that sort of thing.

Fair points on Seifert, I forgot how terrible he was on the sidelines.

i just remember Capers writing in his stupid notepad after every play.  Updated rankings:

1. Fox

2. Rivera

3. Capers

4. Rhule

5. Seifert

I feel sick 🤢

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
