give me Ben Johnson.  That's the type guy we should of gone after when we let Ron go. 

*requirement is he hires a DC that was former HC or something along those lines.  I want my green HC to have someone on staff that has been through it all.

I still say Wilks is the best candidate. With a full offseason, I think he could do enough to change this team's culture that we'd be in real playoff contention as early as next season. 

Why all the Johnson love? He's got one season of play-calling experience, and even that play-calling couldn't score many points against the Panthers.

I think Wilks could get us in playoff contention. His DNA is too conservative to really put you in contention of being anything special though. 

Goff still put up nearly 400 yards and 3 passing TDs on us.  Their run game just didn't show up at all.

Steichen for me, I like Johnson but I would prefer to see him do it a little longer and I dont really love the systems he came up in but I cant deny he did a wonderful job.

Rather have the guy with the track record with helping Develop two of the best QBs in the league.

I'd be happy with Johnson or Steichen, but for some reason, I'm leaning towards Johnson. Maybe UNC is the tiebreaker for me lol.

I do think if it's Johnson I would prefer he get a former HC as his DC. Someone like Vance Joseph (coached with him in Miami). Nugget here, but in 2021, Dom Capers was a Senior Defensive Assistant/Consultant for the Lions, that could be a good potential DC/AHC hire that has a connection to Johnson. Otherwise, there are former HCs that could be available for DC roles (Vic Fangio, Gus Bradley, potentially Raheem Morris if McVay leaves the Rams).

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
