I think Tepper is a league wide joke. He got played by watson’s people, Stafford laughed in his face and then went to LA, and he gave one of the most absurd coaching contracts in history to Rhule. I’m sure loomis and Payton are sitting around laughing at him. He’ll make a ridiculous offer which will promptly be used as leverage to get Houston and/or Denver to up the ante.

I agree he isn’t very good at this, but from my understanding Watson would have been a panther but Tepper is the one who said no bc he wanted a guaranteed contract.

Wow that is some serious conjecture. Tepper isn’t a joke, quite the contrary. He is however learning on the job. Rhule did fleece Tepper, but Stafford made the right decision for Stafford and it wasn’t disrespectful. I’m thankful everyday we did not land Watson. I think the Panthers have a chance with Payton, but in the end it comes down to where Payton wants to go. Inside word is that the broncos did not even discuss compensation during their interview, let’s see if Tepper can make the right pitch about the organization, community, and where the team wants to go. Otherwise, it is back to another rookie head coach and another 2-3 year learning curve.

But in the case of Watson and Stafford's contracts, it may be a good thing he was played.  As outsiders, we do not know who walked away--if you are in on every deal, you might get played once in a while.  Part of it.

Hire Wilks and get this show on the road. Find the best offensive coordinator and QB coach, Draft a QB and DE, find a free agent TE and maybe a corner or 2.

Why is nobody else interviewing Wilks? And don't tell me it's because they all know he's a Charlotte boy and won't accept a job elsewhere.

Because just like us, he is a safe hire, that more than likely will not excite their fan base. I believe Wilks can be very successful, but not exciting. The goal for the panthers is not just winning, but get the fans back in the stadium. Management may think the only way to do that is a big hire. This is as much about selling PSL’s as it is about securing wins.

Honestly, this is how it seems. When you have a guy waiting in the wings as the league's hand picked next owner everyone else just don't even bother bidding because we're gonna force the sell to this guy anyway, it ain't because they think that guy is gonna build a dynasty and kick their asses. Just sayin'.

I’m glad we didn’t get Watson either. The two year pursuit was more what I was alluding to. It made us look stupid and desperate.

I was very surprised and relieved that Tepper did not give him that contract.

You are correct, there are only three within the pool of available coaches that wouldn’t have the 2 to 3 year learning curve. Those three coaches being Sean Payton, Steve Wilks  and Frank Reich. I can imagine that there is some sort of apprehension behind any consideration of an offer for any coach that would need to grow into the role of head coach.

Why is it starting to feel like that?  Has any other team looking for a head coach hired one yet?  I'm glad they are taking their time and "hoping" to get it right this time.  The only people off the table right now are coaches that took themselves off the table for all teams

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
