The reason you want your HC as OC or at least partly your OC is that if you have a good OC, he's more than likely going to get hired away fairly quickly. Just look at the guys we're talking about.

Agreed.  We saw it on the defensive side with McDermott and Wilks.   Though Wilks wasn't given much of an opportunity to turn a franchise around.  They jettisoned him as soon as Kingsbury became available.

For the record, my top choice is Rich Bisaccia. I'm not a huge fan of chasing the next Sean McVay because as often as not, what you actually wind up with is the next Joe Brady.

Now with that said, there's an argument to be made that if you don't keep up with the way league offenses are going right now, your risk being left behind.

If you watched the Chiefs-Bills playoff game last season, you'd have to ask yourself whether a defense based team could have withstood that.

And then on the other end of that, you have a team like the Lions who proves that you can have a league-leading historically dominant offense (35 ppg) and still be 1-3 and in last place in your division if you disregard the importance of fielding a competent defense.

The Lions didn't disregard their defense.

They just picked the wrong person to run it.

The retread proven winner idea sounds nice... until you look at how many of them fail to reproduce their success.

The Dolphins and the Cowboys both hired two time Super Bowl winners in Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells. Neither of them sniffed a Super Bowl with their new teams.

Still better than Rhule. If Jim Harbaugh won only half the games he did in his last stint he'd still be a better coach than Rhule.

This football organization is in shambles we need an experienced Coach/leader to fix all three phases. Someone who has done it before comes with their own roadmap. Harbaugh was a success record wise but he's still hungry for that Superbowl.

Andy Reid says hello.

Quick word to Shane Steichen fans (I know @TheCasillas is one)

A potential glitch in getting him to Carolina could arise if the Chargers dump Brandon Staley. There's chatter that Staley might be on the hot seat this season.

Steichen (who is originally from and grew up in California) spent about ten years with that organization. He'd likely be a pretty popular choice to replace Staley if he's let go. Already being well known by team leadership certainly wouldn't hurt.

Whether or not Staley gets fired is up in the air of course (the Spanos family can be kind of unpredictable). Even if it's not this year though, if the Chargers job is the one he really wants, he could have a chance to get it before too long.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
