I also wouldn't be mad at Lane Kiffin. Especially if he had a better second stint as HC in the NFCS. If he became a good/great coach and the Panthers gave him the chance Tampa didn't and we unknowingly create a chicken coming home to roost situation for a division rival?! All the more delicious.

This coaching hire should be top priority and guys who may want the job who have a .690 NFL win percentage may want to talk to the Panthers about the HC job. He was a Panther himself and a longtime Bears QB also. Before hiring Matt Rhule Vegas had Harbaugh as odds favorite. There's a reason for that. It was our best move.....and we brought in the clown.

Talk to Harbaugh.

I wouldn't hate it, but you gotta think there's a near 0% chance the next hire comes from college after this mess with Rhule.

He's a lifelong NFL guy as a player/Coach who happens to be coaching in college again.

This is the man who developed Andrew Luck and the man who took one read Kraepernick to a Superbowl and almost beat his brother John.

Four years coaching up the crappy disfunctional 49ers to the big game amassing a .695 win percentage in 4yrs in a tough NFL?!

There's nobody more NFL ready in my mind.

Burns was polished in the interview 

However, on not endorsing the ‘team is better under’  Wilks comment, another point of view is  perhaps Burns didn’t like being called out as ‘stars need to be stars’ from Wilks 

I don’t disagree at all with Wilks on that comment   It needed to be said if they are ever going to start beating better competition 

burns has a tendency to disappear against better teams at times.  Some of that is double teams and not having another rusher to help out 

lets see how a rested Burns does against Seattle …which has a QB that can throw from the pocket and a decent RB 

I hope he tears Seattle up 

or, he could’ve felt it insulting as he felt the defense had played well all year, who knows

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
