How many full seasons has he coached?

so, 

all we can do is judge him on the games he did coach.

Here again what is his overall record and how many wins against teams with winning records?

Fact is if we tried to hire an outside coach with his record this place would riot.

I can judge him on winning more games in 12 tries than the push-all-the-chips-in-and-go-for-it coach got in 17. 

WIth a staff and roster he didn't pick, he went 3-4 against teams with winning records. If you think that's bad, prepare yourself for the record of his predecessors.

Lots of questions and no easy path for Tepper.

  • Hire Wilks - who's the OC? DC? Lynn/Flores would be the expectation. Johnson probably follows Steichen. Caldwell could work, but also wonder if the game has changed too much for him to take us to the next level.
  • Hire Steichen/Johnson - who's the DC? Can these creative OCs with no HC experience run a locker room/team?
  • Hire Reich - Is he HC material or a better coordinator? Last few years in Indy were not great. 

 

After Rhule....you can't mess this up.

We had one of the most prolific offensive seasons ever under a defensive head coach. Do you guys really think that Burrow and Mahomes etc are really good because they have “offensive coaches.” McVay is an offensive genius and looks like dogshit without a good QB this year. Whoever is the coach needs to fix the offensive personnel and the team will be good and have a chance to win a lot of games. You don’t need a 35 year old offensive coordinator to win.

Im sympathetic to that but I'd still rather he try than settle.

Tbh outside of saying no to Harbaugh (which may be about total control) I'm relatively happy with his pool so far.

I know its cliche at this point but Tepper didnt make 15 billion by being conservative and "settling".  I know its not apples to apples with the nfl but it undoubtedly shows his mindset

Know he can win? I mean, we know he can go .500 against some of the worst teams in the league.  He had some good wins but we lost when it mattered most.

Why the hell would any of us want to settle for solid but unspectacular right now?? I'd like back to back winning seasons.

If Wilks interviews well and gets the job I'll support him because I'll believe he will have sold Tepper on a new identity that includes more dynamic offense. I can believe he was severely handicapped there this year. But his defense is just as problematic.

Look he went 6-6 and you can't take that away. He had 3 different qbs and lost his best player. He took a few weeks to build his program and figure things out. Truth is he took Darnold and we averaged right at 23 points a game. Which is above the average offensive points in the NFL. I can totally get wanting someone else as Wilkes in boring and thinks a punt isn't a bad thing. But he did a good job and no reason to think he won't do better in the future.

Why can you take away 3-13 but we can't take away 6-6?

Wilks may not be as bad as his 3-13 record but why do we assume he will definitely be his 6-6 record?  When he took over our D nose dived.

I think he's probably closer to .500 than .321 but let's not act like his floor is .500 ball.

we are acknowledging the .500 this year and we are saying we have to do better

90% chance he will be solid?

Based on what?

What is his overall record? 

How many of the few wins that he does have is against good teams, or even teams with a winning record?

 

He proved a lot over the past 12 weeks and let's be real here we were God awful before he took over and went from 1-4 to 6-6 with his best player gone for the year. This isn't just me saying he did great but virtually anyone looking in. And the beef is you didn't beat good teams like the Bengals or Steelers.  Give the man his due whether you want him as your coach or not.

Because the 3-13 was years ago and the 6-6 shows where he is today. Better indication of his current ability.  And I guess not having a secondary impacted why our defense got worse.  Truth is you have to nitpick to find fault when he did a great job under the circumstances.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
