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.

    • The issue is there's 16 games worth of tape on Bryce Young. His bad habits are going to be immediately amplified if he reverts to them. Defenses are waiting for it. Also as another poster above rightly pointed out. He's got to start putting some oomph on these passes. That's also on tape. That's why us fans and his first GM who was fired wanted him to get into the weight room at any capacity but he took time off to do nothing. Whatever happens it won't be for a lack of trying. I think Dave Canales is the right hire to work with a QB like Bryce. The issue is we have no idea if he is the right hire to fix the overall offense and team or how he will handle that level of responsibility on gamedays with only one year of coordinating. I think think this is either going to go really well or it's going to spiral. For all the talk of how bad Reich was and yes he was we really got much worse after he was fired and that's what Canales is inheriting. All of this is why I say it is important we have another young QB around just in case. Even a UFA. Also drafting a center for Bryce or whomever. We just need something anything to build on. Sustaining drives and getting into the end zone more often should be goals 1-3. We were h-o-r-r-e-n-d-o-u-s.
    • What Morgan should be focusing on it getting the best players from the draft group that is available to him this year. If that happens to be a defensive player he shouldn't pass on the guy just because he needs offensive talent. Especially if what's available for offensive help is not on the same level of said defensive player. It just comes down to who's still on the board when he picks. Not every position need can or will be addressed in this draft. It simply will not happen because no team is that lucky for one thing and this team is in bad, really bad shape. Secondly, no draft is filled with enough talent to allow for any team to walk away with more than one possible starter and one or two contributors in any one draft. I think everyone needs to curb their expectations about this year's draft.
