Based on what? 

What exactly makes Wilks better. Both coaches are over .500 in regular season. Wilks isn’t even close. I don’t particularly want either coach but not sure how you can say that with a straight face. Absolutely no statistics back up your claim. So are you just going off your gut?

So, they are interviewing the Tom Moore offensive circle (Jim Caldwell, Frank Reich). Expecting to see Freddie Kitchens, Marc Trestman, and Byron Leftwich next. Interesting how these offensive minds developed under Tom Moore have history with Steve Wilks and Al Holcomb as their defensive counterparts. Tom Moore currently is with Bruce Arians on the Buccaneers payroll.

Leftwich, Wilks, Christensen seems to be the direction this is going.

Tepper and his youth during the 70s and 80s watching those Steelers teams is apparent. Tepper wants a Tom Moore offense and a Tony Dungy defense, and it would not surprise me if he has been consulting with Dungy. Tepper continues to talk up and secure the coaching mentors of Byron Leftwich.

Wilks is .500 in the games he's coached this season but carry on.

Does Ben Johnson have an association there? Tepper has apparently had high interest in him as well.

Not Dungy/Moore Steelers line. Joe Philbin/Mike Sherman for Ben Johnson. Same line as Zac Taylor and Dan Campbell. The closest connection to Johnson would be McAdoo via Philbin. McAdoo and Philbin had a coaching relationship.

I guess but why not Ryans?  What are going to learn from Caldwell?

Ryan's might be busy with niners for a while.  Plus he might have more interest in another job.  So best to get those boxes checked early

Pretty much all of Johnson's pre-Lions resumé was spent with the Miami Dolphins. That is, except for three years (2009-2011) when he was working at Boston College.

Some kid named Kuechly was on the roster there at the time.

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      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

      By Icege · Posted

      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.
