🤣  and Holcomb and McAdoo stays.

Scapegoat away!

I am genuinely super curious what @CRA thinks about this.  Remember his claim that Rhule would start Darnold over Baker at the start of the season so he would have an ace in the hole to later bench Sam Darnold and buy himself more time to keep his job?  I thought that idea sounded kinda nuts, but does that not feel like exactly what happened here?  Wilks keeping a couple of Rhule's flunkies on staff so that "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass" and fire them after an embarrassing blow-out loss?

I was receptive to the idea of keeping Wilks until yesterday's game.  That was arguably the sloppiest most ill-prepared we've looked in any game I've ever watched as a Panthers' fan.  I'm not often actually viscerally embarrassed of our team's performance cause at the end of the day it's just a game for entertainment, it ain't that serious.  But damn was I embarrassed yesterday.

Just gotta get through 8 more games and they all can go

And to think all of you UNC guys were wondering if Mack should've been fired too. 

Wilks is the guy. Wilkes County is in NC. Wilks went to college in the county next to Wilkes County (Watauga). Tae Hayes went to the same college. Wilks loves Charlotte. Wilks will be the next head coach.

Too many twine connecting to the same push pin, right on Wilks right ear.

Those guys were both idiots! I couldn't stand Evan Cooper from the first time they tried to do a fluff interview with him and he admitted he was shocked when Rhule gave him a job because he didn't know what he was doing. I think he was talking about Temple or Baylor but still. The old dude was just a joke

Inserting him into the scouting department was kind of crazy.

Prior to that though, other teams were interested in Burns too.  The Rams offer was the last one with sources confirmed.  I can't remember if the reports were confirm, but the Eagles were sniffing around with two first and one of them were believed to be this year.  As a new HC, having two first round picks in your first season is VERY attractive.  That could even lure in a big name coach even though we lack a franchise QB.

I know a dude that is a DIE-HARD Packers fan and he said that a second was the highest they were willing to give up, that future first were absolutely out of the question.

With the way the Packers’ season is going, that 2nd rounder may turn out to  be quite valuable. I would’ve definitely taken that for DJ.

Yeah first time hearing that. I was gonna refresh my memory of his roles but they already got him off the website lol. He was CB coach, player personnel something or other, and a scout? That's some Rhule bs for a guy that shouldn't be near an NFL team

"Director of Player Evaluation" or something like that.

Ultimately I guess it was Rhule's way to have one of his people inside the scouting department.

Person said (and the video bears this out) that Cooper had a fairly prominent role in the draft day discussions.

I’m sure Tepper ordered this 

Tepper does not care at all about the DB and DL coach. The last thing he wants to do is pay more coaches during a lost season.

 

this is wilks grasping at straws trying to blame everyone but himself. I don’t blame him, he’s in desperation mode. Barring a miracle this is his last chance at being a nfl head coach.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
