Meanwhile in Nebraska...

If you suspect you may have been poisoned and you need to induce vomiting, this is what I would recommend.

That was funny and made me spit my drink out, well done. 

 

I'll give him credit, him and his staff are recruiting their buts off. If he can coach, you'll be able to see it soon in Nebraska's record. 

 

Maybe he's just an NFL guy, that's possible... still sucks the Panthers were the guinea pigs.

You can put 3-4 years down on a piece of paper but it doesn't mean anything when everyone in the world knows that if Wilks is hired he's on a year by year evaluation because he already has experience failing as a HC in the NFL.  I don't care if Tepper gives him a 20 year deal - it's not my money and has no effect on the allocation of the salary cap.

The book is out on him. He would need to do "an incredible job" to maintain any type of job security.

Exactly

Slowest hiring process ever in the nfl 

I mean there's 5 vacancies and no one has hired anyone yet. Only Arizona and Houston have even scheduled 2nd round interviews. Carolina, Denver and Indy are in the process of doing so. Outside of maybe Denver, the leading candidates for these roles seem to be guys that are still in the playoffs. I doubt you're going to see much movement in terms of a guy being hired this week unless Arizona decides they want to hire Flores, Kafka, or Quinn.

Jeff Saturday apparently still an option for the Colts

Nick Sirianni and Dan Campbell both said some things that people chuckled at when they first got their jobs.

They're doing decent now though...

Both are examples I point to when considering our next coaching hire. I don’t think there were many outside of the organizations hiring them that took them seriously. No one’s chuckling now!

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
