It time for a culture change

I’m a big fan of Steve Wilks and I know he has the locker room and fans right now. But I don’t think his style of football will win the Panthers a Super Bowl. That last game against the saints was almost unwatchable. I think Sam Darnold had like 43 yds total yds passing. If we are going to be a defense only and just run the football team , we will never win a championship in todays NFL. That’s why I want a offensive minded head coach. Somebody like Shane Steichen, Ken Dorsey, Ben Johnson. Hell even Jim Harbaugh. I’m tired of watching John Fox /Ron Rivera style of football.

I agree. Unfortunately the OC turned head coach route isn't without it's risks either. It's a roll of the dice but it is time we tried something different.

Every new HC candidate is a roll of the dice.

You need a guy who is smart, a leader, and adaptable. I don't care who they hire as long as they check all those boxes. Unfortunately we as fans aren't in the interviews so we don't know who among the candidates checks all those boxes.

Wilks to me is 100% a leader and a smart dude. I have my reservations about how adaptable he is which is why I feel like he is just Rivera 2.0.

Yeah with Wilks we already have a good idea of what his ceiling is. If that's all we're after we could have just kept Ron Rivera. But it's a different league now. With the changes in the division we need a head coach that can get our offense firing on all cylinders. No more worst in league history offensive performances. The Saints game made it clear what must be done.

Has there ever been two head coaches for one team?

Can we keep Wilkes, and then hire the Eagles guy and have them work as a partnership? Two head coaches working together. It’s so crazy it might just work. 

Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson are the closest thing. McVay did have Wade Phillips.

If the goal is to hire a HC, Wilkes check the boxes.  The question is whether we ran because we didn't have a qb or whether he prefers to run all the time. Second, why do we assume that we can't find an OC without hiring one as head coach.  Or that these OCs with. no head coach experience will come in and not take w or 3 years to learn how to be a head coach like Rivera.

This was the same rallying cry that brought us Matt Rhule. 

Rhule wasn't an offensive minded coach with NFL coordinator experience though. There were red flags when the news broke that we were hot for him like his record against ranked teams.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
