It was fun while it lasted... Love Wilks as a man, but today was the final word on defensive head coaches... In the words of Mike Singletary, "Don't want them. Can't win with them."

Have you really not learned the lesson about hiring Brady’s offensive coordinators? Hard pass on leftwich. Seen that show before and rather not see it here…

Who has a HoF level QB...

And that.  Ron Rivera owes his entire HC career to Cam.  A generational talent at QB certainly masks a ton of deficiencies that are inherent to a conservative defensive HC.  I also cited the struggles Tomlin and Bekichick are going through now without a QB.

I wasn't saying for us.  I'm saying, he is highly regarded in the league and will get a shot soon.  And also having Brady males him look a lot better than he would otherwise.

Leftwich ain’t getting a HC job anywhere.

in fact, word down here in Tampa, he very well will be canned as OC this offseason.   Dude is terrible.

Had they faced any other team other than us, they would've lost.

It's very telling that they struggled against the damn Cardinals and put up 30 points on us.

Leftwich was highly regarded. Anymore I think he owes that to Tom Brady.

I dont disagree.  I was never super impressed with Leftwich...  I really liked him as a player, but I always felt the majority of TB's success and system was Arians' stuff and then Brady tinkered with it.  I'm just saying I know he was highly regarded when the Bucs were tearing it up, and I believe got some interviews last year.  But, I'm also willing to bet their offensive success isn't solely because of Brady, although most of it is.  If those rumors are true, when they fire Leftwich, Bowles is gonna fold just like all the other defensive coaches do with a competent OC and HOF QB.  That place is gonna implode fast.

Just quoted myself to share that I also pounded the table for us to hire Arians way back too.  Twice!  Including when TB hired him out of retirement.

And here we are, still spinning our wheels.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind an O minded guy either but if you look at the current playoff standings it’s about 50/50. 

I posted on here last year, and it’s about 50/50 with Super Bowls the last 10-15 years too. 
 

Look at Nathaniel Hackett, Arthur Smith, Kliff Kingsbury. It depends on leadership more than anything.

He got interviews last year.

but reality came this year once Arians left and everyone realized outside of Tampa who was really calling the shots. Most of Tampa’s success has been when they let Brady call the shot this year.  In fact the Saints game comeback.  That last game winning drive.  TB12 actually told Bowles, I’m calling the plays this one.

Leftwich has been awful.  Bowles could be out too.  But Leftwich will be the first one, who’s play-calling has been a big issue

      I'd say or believe the RB room has or will improve. Rico > inches. Then 3rd RB is 4th rounder Trevor Etienne, who we don't know what he bring, should be more than last year and I heard he's got good hands.  All the TEs are young, even back issue Tremble is 24. Evans is a worker and Sanders has been getting props on his body. Sighlt edge points up here too, imo. OL everyone but Motown should be better too, they are mostly OL "young" and that was the first season with the OL coaches. Did you know they have a personal coach for C, IOL, and OTs?? They got three OL coaches on this staff, I don't believe any other team has this method.  You know about the talent added to WR room.  It does come down to BY. If I say BY wins the MVP award, how would that look team-wise??

      The sad part is Panthers SM team was once in tune and godlike with the SM handling.... The only team I can think of that could pull this " leave your mark " is the chiefs. They are in the middle of a dynasty run and win 12 games on a bad year....... terrible move by Panthers. I mean even during the 7-9 years I was able and ready to talk trash with all other teams fan base...... 5-12s, 2-15, 6 new HCs, poor drafting...... I have been locked in a library and my best line is " no comment "..... God dam its been a rough 6 years and now the Panthers gave other teams this "leave your mark" ammo..... They better God dam win.
