His dad Monte was a coaching legend.  So, I could see that, but Lane hasn't gone without his own share of bumps in road.

yeah in a conversation where coaches to come around eventually sometimes as soon as their second job... I could see Lane being one. He was brash and hard headed earlier in his career.

Would be a dumb hire. This team needs a fresh untarnished coach. Someone who actually deserves a head coaching shot, and just keeps getting passed over. Plenty of them that deserves their shot before Frank gets another one. 

Untarnished? Frank Reich was the actual adult in the room and ownership wanted roster control.

He made pretty good lemonade out of lemons. Is Tepper as batsh*t as Irsay? No. This would be greener grass for a offensive minded coach with head coaching experience like Frank Reich.

Oh, and legacy, Panthers legacy, he brings that. If he can get the Panthers back to 1996 form like when he was bleeding for the black and blue. Win win.

Reich being let go by the crazy man may be a blessing in disguise for both the Panthers and Reich. It's a match.

Decent read in how firing Reich was a big mistake made by an owner who has no clue what he's doing and makes rash, irrational decisions based on whatever emotions his drunk ass is feeling. Hiring Jeff Saturday only solidifies the idea irsay doesn't know what he's doing. 

It also lays blame on the GM who is, on record, committed to NEVER drafting a QB because he's afraid of failing and being run out of town. 

Reich hasn't done great but he's done better with the same kind of sucky QB carousel we've had here. His offense has done well  considering the poo QBs he's had and adapted each time to their strengths. 

He's not top on my list and would prefer we went with a fresh untried face, but I wouldn't hate it at all if we decided on Reich.

The problems we've faced here has largely been the result of having a bad coach with too much control. The problems the colts have had has been from having a drunk irrational owner and a GM without a spine.

I mean does Tepper really want a retread that couldn't make it to 500 and couldn't find a QB. 

As someone else mentioned, you got his record wrong.  But being a retread worked for Pete Carroll, Andy Reid, Dick Vermeil, and Bill Belichick.  It's certainly better than hiring a college coach.

Yeah, I dont recall him saying anything about replacing the GM. He did come up short on stating the Fitt will be the GM, but it was reported afterwards that Fitt does not have a warm seat. I expect Fitt, and outside council to be involved in the coaching search. 

Outside counsel hopefully including (or being) Kevin Colbert.

I'd give Lane Kiffin a shot. NFL pedigree. Former NFL HC. His QB is already here so it should be plug and play between Kiffin's offense and Matt Corral.

I don’t think he would run the same RPO simplistic offense in the NFL. He has to do that at Ole Miss to counter the talent deficiencies in his roster vs top SEC schools. Also I think he is going to be Auburn’s next HC.

The biggest problem is we've never had a great QB coach/OC. 

Having been through Matt Rhule I'd want to stay far away from upstarts at this time. We need an experienced NFL coach to get the most out of all three phases.

Frank Reich

Lane Kiffin

Jim Harbaugh

All these guys have NFL head coaching experience and are offensive minded.

I didn't get his record wrong. You guys just cherry picked his entire career record and not what happened this season. He was fired for this season. I rather take Wilks than this guy. He's already peaked and is going down.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By NAS · Posted

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
