The Official HC Candidate Thread

Something else to ponder that no one is really talking about but could potentially be a real outcome depending on how the remainder of the season goes but...

If Mike Tomlin is let go as HC in Pittsburgh (and given the ties to Tepper)... He could be a strong possibility. I know many have said that Tepper was one of the minority owners who wanted Tomlin gone but it is my understanding that Tepper was not, in fact, one the guys that wanted him out as Coach but actually was supportive of Tomlin.

That said, if Tomlin came to Carolina, I could see him keeping Wilks on as DC to have continuity. I am just not sure who he would bring in as OC but one would think he would learn from his mistakes and not hire Canada again. Personally I could see Todd Haley reuniting with Tomlin.

I know it may be far fetched but given the ties to the Steelers organization, it's not a complete stretch, IMO.

I have a hard time imagining the Steelers parting ways with Tomlin.

Besides the fact that they typically don't do that, he's got an awful lot of good will built up there. Heck, at this point he's arguably the most powerful guy in the building outside of ownership.

That said, anything can happen.

I'd love for us to be able to get Payton but it's gonna be next to impossible to get the saints to hand him over. This year's 1st round pick is untouchable but the saints are gonna want 2 first plus some to let him go to a division rival. The only way I see him coming here is if Tepper offers him something crazy that seals him in to only wanting to come here and we both play hardball with the saints saying you either take the offer or lose Payton for nothing when his contract expires at the end of 2024.

The pick compensation package isn't the only thing that would make it difficult to get Sean Payton.

Tepper has stated that he's going to have a more balanced division of power between the next coach and the GM, so anybody who's looking for massive control isn't likely to find it here.

That alone would make a highly unlikely you'd land Payton (ditto Harbaugh) but then on top of that you've got the compensation issue.

Given what Tepper said about giving coaches less control in his presser, I do not see Harbaugh being a candidate.

 

Tepper is a god damnfuging idiot and embarrassing every time he opens his stupid mouth. The best HCs in the nfl have a ton of control.

The issue is Tepper is too inept and gave a Baylor coach ALL control and a moron contract and doesn’t know the difference.

Christ almighty I hate that ugly fug.

    • Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the fist pumping I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).
    • Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.
    • Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
