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.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
