How about Wilkes as HC and Reich as OC? 

Reich is the more experienced and successful HC.

It would be Reich/Wilks. We definitely can have both if we play our cards right.

They both love NC, live here full or part time, so the rest should be easy.

Agreed. Wilks as HC/Reich as OC would work, but not the other way around. 

This is an ideal scenario. But who is the DC? Holcomb? 

I have a feeling Wilks is talking to Byron Leftwich. He was his OC in Arizona. But Leftwich was kinda forced on Wilks, since he was there working under Arians before they hired Wilks. That whole staff was kinda weird.

I just get a hard time seeing Reich do this.

though some other teams like Jets, Ravens etc are hard after him as OC.

I think if he doesn’t get a HC job this round.  He will next year.

Kaye had previously speculated that if they weren't waiting around for Shane Steichen, they could potentially wrap up their search this week.

Steichen is my favorite choice but also the riskiest. I have to wonder if the team waits until after the Eagles/49ers game on Sunday to make a decision. If the Eagles lose, they might try to grab their guy. Otherwise, onto their fallback.

You may be right, though having ties to Carolina may help our case for him to take that spot...especially if we pay him more than the others. I am not opposed to spending Tepper's money.

To be fair, we don't know for certain that Payton is out.

The Panthers seem to be keeping a pretty tight lid on things.

If the rumors from Denver are correct I think it's down to Shaw and Quinn there. 

 

But yea the Panthers have been tight lipped.

If Reich doesn't get a head coaching position, and Shane Steichen gets a HC job, Reich could very well be back to being the OC of the Eagles.

I think there is so much chaff being thrown out that it's hard to tell the real information from the garbage. Whether than is intentional or accidental is a mystery.

    • 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.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
