If you’re serious about winning, Brian Flores is the coach

Everybody from his coaching tree has finished fired with a losing record.

True, but Flores is the only one that finished with a seven game winning streak, and bested Bill Belichick in the win-loss column (including sweeping him) during the Patriots hey day.

I think people overrate Flores because he was fired at a time when he probably didn't deserve to be.

But if you think he's something special, I'm not sure you're looking at the whole picture.

No to anyone from the Belichik tree. There are also too many known negatives with Flores. As far as the other 2 you mentioned, as I have said before...I am afraid that Leftwich gets too much credit...he has had Arians (who is still around in Tampa) and Brady.  Dorsey has not proven anything/built anything yet.  So far he has just not screwed up the offense he inherited.

I can see your points on all fronts, LP, and I respect them.  Definitely question marks to be concerned with in each case, but then I ask...  what is the best hire then?  I feel like we really screwed up by holding onto Rhule this long because outside of those guys and Payton, i just dont know of any surefire candidate everyone would love and feel confident in.  I think Daboll wouodve been a homerun, and he's proving to be now.

And ITT, I really was only focusing on the younger/less proven candidates...  Payton is probably my number one target because he's proven, has a proven system, and would instantly bring respect back to our franchise.  I hate his guts, but that could all change very quickly if he came on here.

This man was pulling miracles in Miami with an abysmal roster. He was 24-25 in his ‘rebuild’ years before the sleazeball owner Ross canned him.

 

 He’s a leader of men- Dolphins players were livid when he got canned

He has first hand experience with undermining owners

Worked with Belichick and now Tomlin, two of the best in the game

Proven track record on stabilizing abysmal franchise

If we’re not going to get an offensive minded coach then I’m taking Flores over Demico Ryans

A jerk that turned off players and coaches and got the benefit of coaching in the worst division in the NFL? And then he played the race card when he got rightfully fired? That is the Panthers mindset though. Let's get a retread that someone else didn't want (Darnold, Baker, McAdoo)....yeah, that's the ticket. Simply horrible idea.

Many fans are hoping like hell we end up with a top 3 pick so we can snag a QB. U really want Flores as our head coach with a rookie QB? The same guy who didn’t try to hide the fact that he wasn’t a Tua fan and would rather roll with Fitzmagic. I mean sure, in the very short term that’s fine. But it sounded like he straight up didn’t want Tua. Not exactly the kind of guy I want with a potential rookie franchise QB.

Sounds like how John Fox would act lol

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
