So here's a different take than before, one I didn't include previously because it's...complicated, but one that could legitimately happen.

Start again with Dan Quinn getting the Panthers job...

Suppose also that Mike McCarthy gets fired by the Cowboys...

Whether it's Sean Payton or someone else, McCarthy's replacement may want to hire his own staff (especially if it's Payton) even if Jerry Jones wants to retain some of "his guys". But either way, in this scenario, OC Kellen Moore is allowed to seek other opportunities.

Dan Quinn then contacts Moore about joining him in Charlotte as the Panthers OC.

And from thence we go...

 

Would fans find this scenario more...palatable?

More palatable than Wilkins? Yes. Good hire? No.

If Quinn is Fitterers top guy, the we should go ahead in fire him right now. Because this scenario says we have no vision of what we would ideally like the future to look like.

Quinn's been speculated because of his connections to Fitterer and Morgan from their Seattle days. It's all still speculation at this point though.

Tepper has stated they're not looking at anyone else until Steve Wilks has had a chance to make his case for the job. And this is one time where I can agree with him.

As Quinn scenarios go, I like this one better than the option of him picking one of his former colleagues like was discussed in the other thread.

Ultimately though, it's still a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing.

Fair enough. I suppose this hypothetical sets up Moore to be next in line when Quinn is hypothetically fired.

I presume any Quinn (or any other coach) hypothetical would mean a new DC as well.

Likely a new everything...

There are a few guys I could conceivably see staying from the current staff (Campen, Tabor, Wilks, Holcomb) but for the most part I think you're looking at turnover.

Mediocre as can be. A .500 coach. Nothing about his record says "success".

And let's never forget that Quinn was fired after losing to us truly. You'd think wanting to hire the guy who lost his job right after losing to the guy you just fired would be a terrible idea.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
