Panthers receive permission to interview Sean Payton

Current players mad that Wilks isn't hired.

Former players mad that Wilks wasn't hired AND the Bountygate prick is the new coach? While giving up a treasure trove of picks I'm sure? Whew, put a microphone in front of Smitty as soon as it happens if so. 

But, I think it's more of an "interview" to pick his brain and see what he says his plan would be. Which, I'd also take with a grain of salt since I doubt he'd give two shits about coming here. Unless Tom Brady followed him and then we all go insane having to root for those two.

Weird move. Guess we’re doing our due diligence but no way I give up our 1st for him 

If the Panthers could get Sean Payton without giving up draft picks, I would be all for trying get him. 

However, since that would be impossible and considering the obvious needs the Panthers have to retain draft picks, my opinion is he would cost to much to get.

I can’t say that hiring Payton would translate to a Lombardi trophy, but I can tell you that it would give us instant credibility among the league in attracting free agents, put a$$es in seats and drum up interest in the team. Does that translate to the W column, hard to tell. I personally believe if the get a rookie Head Coach we will have to go through a year or more on the learning curve. How to manage the game.

It’s also worth noting that history is against Payton in some ways. No head coach in NFL history has won Super Bowls with two different squads. He has also been blessed with Brees, a future Hall of Fame QB, for most of his career. The Saints went 9-8 in Payton’s only season without Brees. Payton has an impressive 152-89 regular-season coaching record. He took the Saints to the playoffs nine times in his 15 years as head coach. However, it’s worth noting that the Saints failed to get past the NFC Championship round after winning the Super Bowl in his fourth season on the job.

Yep.

I'm pretty sure people in every fanbase that got a Super Bowl winning coach thought they were on a path to championship glory.

Every single one of them, without fail, has been disappointed.

Hiring one of those guys guarantees nothing.

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
