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 agree. My only knock against Wilks was the Bucs game. Changes should've been made on Evans coverage. Yes we were down our top two corners but we never made adjustments to cover him. This can't bleed into next year.

Wilks would be rock bottom fold the franchise up and move it to the UK or St. Louis type of hire.

I wouldnt mind Frank Reich. He is a solid coach who has proven he could win before.

But the move is to hire Ben Johnson, Shane Steichen, or Ken Dorsey. Johnson is my number one choice, but would be happy with the other two. It takes a special talent to make Jared Goff to look like a starting NFL QB.

I have zero interest in Kafka, Mayo, or Moore.

I do like Ryans, but watching Saleh first hand scares me off. This is an offensive league and if you are going to take a chance with a first time head coach, i think it should be someone with an offense background.

Gonna throw a name out there--and you all are going to overreact then I will respond and make you feel silly--maybe change your user profile (again, in some cases)--are you ready?:

David Shaw

Already interviewed by Broncos.  Not your typical college coach--has NFL experience.  Knows player personnel better than some GMs.  Offensive guru, great with QBs.

Pro or con, I don't see Tepper going with another college coach.

I don't either (but the question was "who do you want in Carolina?")  because if it goes wrong, he would be tarred and feathered.  I think Shaw will be a good NFL coach.  I think he made Harbaugh look good (along with Luck) at Stanford.  He knows Xs and Os, he knows offense, and he knows personnel. 
I met him on Stanford's campus when I was there for a conference--I was walking with a group of professors by the athletic facility to the SCALE center, and the team was loading the bus to go to the airport--game at Colorado.  He (not an assistant, not a manager) was monitoring the process.  So introduced myself and started talking to him.  Nothing but class.   I would hire the man and forget his former gig--but that is just me.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
