OK....I have a feeling Ben Johnson is gonna end up being the guy. I have to admit I'm really nervous about him though. Just scared this is gonna turn into all of us looking in the rearview saying "what the fug were they/we thinking? Of course this wasn't gonna work out". 

It’s Tepper so all he is thinking is making a big splash. He’s not worried about making the right choice for wins and loses.

Are we seriously considering someone from the Belichick coaching tree or is that just to satisfy the rule? I know you can't write off every person who's worked under Bill, but the track record looks waaaaayyyy worse than even Rivera's tree. 

I mean, come on. Jerod Mayo as a HC? Maybe in five years.

He has been in the HC hiring cycle three straight years now. Obviously he has some sort of talent that teams are interested in. With NE they have had a lot of turnover on their coaching staff when it comes to defense but he has been the one stable piece and every year they are competitive.

To me... I see Mayo and Brian Johnson as being interviewed  to be on Wilks staff. Seems they are vetting out not just Head coach candidates but people that Wilks mentioned in his interview  for his staff.

Maybe bc he only had like 3  defensive coaches? Wilks was running a professional football team down 6 coaches from the norm. We had Chris Tabor helping coach on both offense and defense.

I want an OC coach too, but blaming Wilks for the defense is like saying a “Ferrari isn’t fast…” when it has 3 flat tires.

I think it's fair to say our defense didn't improve with Wilks but there are mitigating factors, including injuries and what you point out.

However, I don't think he really has a resume of being a coach of exceptional defensive units from what I recall.

No denying his ability to motivate though.

I'm not saying he'll make the right choice, but I don't think this is true, or he'd have definitely gone all in on Harbaugh.

I don’t know if it is common in the NFL to interview that many candidates, but this gives me so little faith in this process. Interviewing that many people for a serious position is poor practice and generally leads to confusion and a higher likelihood of selecting the wrong candidate. And it seems pretty clear they’re not even done yet. They should have easily weeded out several of these candidates before the interview.

We only interviewed 4 guys last go-round and ended up with the worst possible one. You're hoping to not do this sort of thing every 2-3 years. Even if you know you have a top 3-4, it makes sense to get as many different guys into the building as you can and hear diverse perspectives to compare and contrast to what you're hearing from the guy(s) you're leaning towards.

All valid

We actually had two or three more guys scheduled to interview (McDaniels, Stefanski and I think somebody else) but cut the process short after meeting with Rhule.

Obviously, they have to satisfy the Rooney requirements, but it's possible that could happen again.

(maybe not quite as possible as before given that Marty Hurney and apparently Steven Drummond aren't involved this time)

This is what coping looks like.

 

Wilks isn’t getting it, stop being delusional

It was that great the one year he was DC for us and Arizona’s defense was atrocious and he was terrible in college and the team got better when he left. 
He just isn’t a very good DC.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      Tuesday First Game

      By Stumpy · Posted

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
