Its going to be Johnson unless he absolutely shits the bed in his interview. 

Young, offensive guru, local guy, etc.  It's Tepper's supposed dream hire. If Wilks hadn't become the emotional favorite in the media, I think there would already be a lot more smoke out there than what's now being said this weekend. 

Staff he assembles will be interesting, especially when the locker room might have to be convinced after Wilks isn't the choice. Maybe we get lucky and Johnson's connection to Kuechly can convince him to come on board in some capacity. 

I am concerned that most of Tepper's dreams have been Panther fan nightmares. 

Also concerned about him jumping the shark again.

I like the guy too....I do.....but please don't fuging fixate again.

Exactly what I said in the other thread and got poo on by a few posters @TheCasillasnamely. Tepper is the most predictable and incompetent owner ever. He’s making the exact same mistake he made with Rhule by fawning over the hot candidate. I doubt anyone else is even being seriously considered and it’s just window dressing. 

The difference is Johnson has been in various coaching roles in the NFL, working his way up, for the past decade.

What he has done this year with the Lions is super impressive. Remember they have Goff as their QB. One can argue he got a lot more out if Goff than McVay ever got. He’s only done it for a year, but in that one year he’s the most impressive OC in my opinion.

People hating on Ben for only having one year of coordinator experience, here are some of today's HCs that similar or even less experience:

Zac Taylor - never was a coordinator; been to a SB

Kevin Stefanski - one year as a full time OC; took Browns to playoffs got their first playoff win since 2002

Mike McDaniel - one year as 49ers OC; have Phins in playoffs in his first season

Matt LaFleur - two years as an OC (one year each with Rams and Titans); had 3 straight 13 win seasons

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
