From The Athletic...

A number of players have called on Tepper to hire Wilks for the full-time position, none more loudly than linebacker Shaq Thompson. Tepper has said Wilks would be considered if he did “an incredible job” during his 12-game audition.

Wilks’ commitment to the run game was the right move given the quarterback situation — P.J. Walker (five games), Sam Darnold (three) and Baker Mayfield (one) all have started under Wilks. But whomever Tepper hires — be it Wilks or someone else — will need a quarterback and a more innovative offense.

After swinging and missing with a college coach three years ago, Tepper is expected to target someone with NFL experience. A league source who spoke on the condition of anonymity for competitive reasons said Tepper has interest in Sean Payton, but the former Saints coach told Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer he isn’t interested in Carolina. Other former head coaches who could draw interest include Frank Reich and Dan Quinn, who was with GM Scott Fitterer in Seattle.

The list of coordinators expected to emerge as candidates in this hiring cycle is a long one, but includes Philadelphia offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, San Francisco defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.

Wilks can help his cause with a strong finish. The Panthers’ path to the playoffs is simple: If they win out — against Detroit, Tampa Bay and New Orleans — they’ll clinch the division and host a playoff game even as they bear a losing record.

After five losing seasons, David Tepper must get the coach and QB right

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
