Damn, was that only one year in Denver or....? I know a ton of people wanted him here. See, this is what scares me about hiring an offensive guru type guy. WE either get a Sean McVay or we get a Josh Mcdaniels/Hackett type. Wonder what odds are on getting a successful guy or a failure, 50/50?

Exactly. The Vikings seem to have hit the jackpot but that is not always going to happen. I am warming up to Wilks bring HC next year

Hackett has also struggled at just about every non-Green Bay stop(save for one out of three years in Jacksonville).

I think people gave Hackett way too much credit for something he deserved very little of in Green Bay.

I agree. Is Russ a particular type of QB that can only work in certain environments? yes.  And does he deserve some blame? yes.

But then as a HC, it's part of your job to identify that and develop an offense and team that works with that QB. ESPECIALLY given the investment.  Hackett was so bad, it's not even funny.

Yeah and we have an OC now that is incapable of tailoring an offense to the strengths of various players, so this should look familiar.

That isn't to say Wilson isn't largely responsible for stinking it up and embarrassingly so after manufacturing the Seattle exit.

But Hackett was just terrible.

This is why I’m leaning towards Wilkes being the head coach. Especially if the Panther win these last two games.  We can always go the coordinator route if Wilkes doesn’t work out.  Especially when there’s no guarantee with a coordinator and can result in more lost seasons anyway.  So you roll with Wilkes instead.

Now that Rhule and Hackett are gone, who is the worst remaining NFL head coach?

Kingsbury? Dennis Allen? Who else?

Allen and Kingsbury are the worst in the league at the moment. I hope the Saints stay the course, and keep Allen

      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.
