He's also had Brady.

Neither Leftwich nor Moore interests me yet.

Leftwhich I could see being a better HC than OC.

I just don't want a retred or a Wilks type who is a coordinator for a year and becomes a 'hot name'.

My preferred candidates would be guys like like Rich Bisaccia or Don Martindale, but I know how the league’s trending these days.

If we’re going by connections though, I’d think Ken Dorsey.

Dorsey needs more time. If he can do a good job at OC for a couple of years ok. Feels like a Wilks type hire to me if they went for him this offseason. Im still skeptical of him being a product of the people and team around him at this point.

Byron Leftwich has only been coaching since 2016.

He has less coaching experience than every potential candidate except Kellen Moore.

I just am a Leftwich fan. Ever since College, when his teammates had to carry him down the field with a broken ankle to win the game. How can you not root for him!

I am too, but I don’t think he’s ready to be a head coach.

Definitely don’t think Kellen Moore is.

I agree, not sure if he’s ready or not. I do think he is an authentic strong natural leader, former player etc. So he has a lot going for him. But it is a big step.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
