Coaching interview updates

The Panthers completed an interview with Broncos DC Ejiro Evero for their head coach vacancy.

The Panthers are one of five teams to show interest in Evero as a head coach. Denver, Indianapolis, Houston, and Arizona have also interviewed or submitted an interview request for the defensive guru. The 2022 season was Evero's first as a defensive coordinator. Despite the Broncos' struggles as a team, Evero and the defense remained strong. They ranked 14th in points allowed and ninth in EPA per play despite the offense consistently putting them in disadvantageous positions. With a few candidates already pulling out of the running for Carolina, it's possible Evero sits near the top of their list.

I know he does not fit the mold of what Tepper wants this year, but he would be near the top of my list. The guy is very impressive and will excel when he gets his shot.

There's a lot to like about him.

Being a defensive coach puts him behind the 8 ball though. And of course they'd be people saying "Why didn't you just hire Wilks?"

There's something about part of Panther fandom. Skittish on bigness (how many hated Cam's "icon" comment") but are unrealistically optimistic on the low 4th rounder drafted every year. Want no part of big names but fall in love with unsung heroes. Would run a race with a Ford instead of the Ferrari because the Ferrari uses up too much gas.

Yes, Seifert failed on round 2. Yes, Gruden failed in round 3 (and maybe part of round 2). On the flip side, Belichick was an awful failed coach in Cleveland...until he wasn't in NE (after the Jets flakeout). Dick Vermeil left coaching and came back to win a title. Pete Carroll did ok with NE, and did better with Seattle. Holmgren didn't win a title, but he always had a Matt Hasselback(!) led team in the championship discussion many years. Andy Reid finally won too.

The chances are just as good that Payton is more like Carroll and Reid than not, and he would be motivated to be on a short list of coaches (maybe the first?) who's won at two different teams.

They have a small market mindset, yet funnily enough they cry and yell till blue in the face when the national media gives us no attention because we’re a small market team…

    • Oh yeah the QB is huge in this stuff. Imagine what Smitty could have done with a surgeon back there. And some more offensive minded head coaches. It was always run heavy. He was one of the best I ever saw and people didn’t know who he was outside of Carolina, for the longest time.   
    • For sure, any college scout that touted Bryce Young as worth the first overall pick, needs to be gone. I don’t think the college scouts are so much the issue, I think it is the minds of the decision makers that have the most influence.  If this draft produces, and Morgan was really in charge, maybe Tepper will develop some respect and stay back and let people work.     
    • I just am not aware of regimens that offer increased velocity which is the biggest weakness I can see in Young (that needs addressing right now). Is it possible to do? Who has done it that we can see as an example? I guess I am saying before I believe weights will give him added zip on the ball, I would want proof that it works.    I think weight room would help him not be pulled down by two fingers, even if they are big strong DL fingers. They are still fingers controlling 185 lbs. So that needs to be addressed but it is a secondary issue behind his footwork and ball velocity. It might help too, in allowing him to retain some velocity while not putting 100% effort into throws. Which should help his ‘deep’ ball.  I agree they can’t fix his footwork on those pistol or gun snaps where he slowly goes backwards and does the tippy toe thing.  Maybe putting him under center and taking the option of that type of drop away from him, forcing him into the classic under center style. Drop and plant and throw. Maybe that would help get around it.
