Guys who are in line to be a head coach aren't making a lateral move to come to Carolina and coach w/ a has been. 

Brian Johnson is a Qb coach(Eagles)... so offensive  coordinator  is not a lateral move and Mayo is the linebackers coach for the Patriots.  Moving up to Coordinator would be an upgrade to both.

It's great to throw names out, but I'm not quite sure why Brian Johnson would join Wilks rather than someone like Gannon or Steichen who he's worked with for the past few years on the Eagles staff if they land a gig? Or just stay put and get elevated to OC in Philly if Steichen gets hired elsewhere?

It's been mentioned that both names have been linked to  the possible interview that Wilks had. I'm not just throwing names out there. I had to research  them after reading articles  about them possibly  being part of his pitch to Tepper.

No, I understand Johnson has been linked to Wilks a possible OC option (Breer reported that a few times I believe). I'm saying if I'm him, why would I make that move? Especially if Steichen gets hired elsewhere as HC, then I'd rather stay in Philly, get a promotion, and work with an MVP caliber QB in Jalen Hurts.

Trust me I understand!! I definitely  would stay with my guy but then again, it could be looking at potential  of the team.  If Steichen goes to the Broncos(just an example) and it flames out vs having to play Mahomes n Herbert etc. This head coaching opportunity  is honestly a gem when you look at the division.  No bias at all... just looking at which opportunity  could boost ya resume faster and looking at a possible  Brady  departure, Dalton and  Ridder, has to be paramount to a guys outlook.

Yeah I think in the case of Brian Johnson specifically, he's probably thinking 1) does Steichen get a HC job? If yes, I'm in line to get become OC with a great QB in place OR I could follow him depending on the situation (e.g. if Steichen lands in Houston or Indy, I can help mold a top 5 rookie QB); 2) does Gannon get a HC job? If so, I could potentially follow him similarly to Houston or Indy (reports are that Gannon is the early front runner in Houston) and probably have a bunch of autonomy to coordinate the offensive side of the ball with a #2 overall pick at QB. I think Wilks would be my fallback where if Steichen doesn't leave AND Gannon gets a HC gig but has a different person in mind at OC, THEN I would look into a situation where I take the promotion to OC under a guy like Wilks that I don't have much (any?) experience with.

I definitely  see  your logic and feel the same!! I don't know if there are any ties that Wilks has with the said candidates but it does all really depend on the moving parts in the other coaching vacancies.

From what I understand, Mayo does the job of a defensive coordinator. He just doesn't have the title. 

Belichick is kind of a dickhead about these things.

This is what coping looks like.

 

Wilks isn’t getting it, stop being delusional 

Coping? What are you talking about?

My preference, as I've said over and over, is for us to pick a young OC.

Doesn't mean I deny Wilks did a good job with what he had.

I don't actually know why Breer has been  tying Johnson to Wilks.

If there's a connection between them, I've missed it.

Does Wilks have any connection to Dan Mullen? Johnson coached QBs at both of Mullen's stops (MSU and UF) and was also OC at Florida before Mullen was fired.

    • I think you've taken my comment out of context as well. I never implied that his father being a psychologist would make him a better leader or make him a psychologist. If your dad is a lawyer, you're more likely to be exposed to law. If your dad is a doctor you're more likely to be exposed to medicine that's all.  My question is, why did you take my comment that way? 
    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
