Got to have a HC 1st.

LaFleur fits on any offense side minus OL coach. Hes a great WR, TE, and OC option..... plus hes young and got plenty of connections and good history.

I would think the new HC would like to pick his OC.

He followed Saleh to New York from the 49ers. Now they're "mutually parting ways". Gotta imagine there's a story there.

My first thought would be to wonder whether he joins his brother in Green Bay.

One had to wonder. Strange move by the Jets but it seems OC’s are getting the ax nowadays. He would be the ideal OC for Wilks if he gets the job. The 49ers’ offense is a model of who we want to be: a physical smashmouth running with a complimentary passing game. Being a pupil of K Shanahan, I can see the same system working nicely here.

Thats correct, a wise HC would already have LaFleurs promise..... Im just shocked he is available and totally get/approve the new HC should hire the OC...... i just want this young high football IQ mind on the panthers staff...

Haven't looked at everything, but near as I can tell he doesn't have any connection to our other candidates.

IWilks isn't my first or maybe even my second choice for HC but I think we could do a lot worse than LeFleur.

That is the Panthers motto! Not my first choice but we could've done worse.

Bet Wilks has already made a call.

Why? Guy doesn’t have the job.

If Wilks can pull off a Flores DC / Lafleur OC combo I’m good to go.

More than likely. Wilks hasn't got the Panthers HC job yet but i feel sure he is talking to different position coaches in case he stays here or gets a HC job elsewhere.

Would be a conversation about joining him if he does get the job.  Might add strength to his candidacy.

If hes has OC LaFleur in/on the staff plan, that would switch my disapprove to " welllllllllll its a solid combo " *but* I know he would keep Al as DC and thus I fall back to looking back the other names.....but ANY HC that has Lafleur listed as thier OC, about as strong as you can get. hes checks alll the boxes and very young....he may even get some HC calls, watch the cards give him a call.....i bet..

He still has to be putting feelers out for his potential staff. Having actual names of guys you've contacted and know have potential interest to give Tepper is a much better case to make than simply saying your plan is to hire a good OC then have to admit that no, you haven't actually seen if those guys have are actually interested.
