only david tepper could fire his head coach early, focus on up and coming you offensive gurus, and end up picking between steve wilks and frank reich. to call this guys a disaster would be a gross understatement.

jerry richardson was an awful team owner. no matter what the state of the franchise is now, jerry should still have been forced to sell because he was also an awful person. with that all said, if you focus on just football and nothing off the field, he was a superior owner to tepper in every single way. 

I told you from the start it was going to be an experienced HC. The young OC interviews were to just pick their brains. Why Johnson dropped out.

small victories are all you will know

I’m not saying I love these choices. Steichen seems like the guy with the highest ceiling. The guy who could take you to a Super Bowl. But it’s quite possible he doesn’t want to work for the Panthers. An interview is a two way street. The candidate is interviewing who they will work for as well. Might be why Ben Johnson dropped out.

It’s just as important to hire someone who WANTS the job as well as be qualified and motivated, all that stuff. Rhule didn’t really seem like he wanted to be the Panthers head coach but Tepper threw so much money at him he couldn’t say no. Even after he was fired he said the one thing he’d change from his tenure was NOT TAKE THE JOB. What an asshole that guy was. 

My point is that the Panthers can do a lot worse than hiring Frank Reich or Steve Wilks and it’s nice to at least have the prospect of having a proper NFL caliber coaching staff again.

I guarantee you the same posters who aren't happy with Reich and wanted the new, flashy,  young OCs, are the same posters who probably should have spent their walmart check on bills and groceries, but went out and bought a fugin new Xbox because of the specs  

 

Good Offense stats do not mean automatic good HC  

 

who knows, maybe these interviews maybe they poo their pants and didnt seem like they could take on being the face of the franchise a whole lot more responsibility in that than sitting in a booth calling plays

Behavior concerns based on the interview with the Vikings last year. He was never an option here in Carolina and wasn't on Teppers radar. I mean shoot, his agent had to basically beg to get that phone conversation. 😂

its Ok to get enamored by a young OC, but this franchise already whiffed on inexperience..  time to get a grown ass experienced guy at the helm

 

putting up good offensive stats does not mean you will be a good HC.  theres a hell of a lot that goes into being a HC.  

 

let the offensive mind with experience and success lead the ship. 

Was reading the same thing about Denver.  They are wary of hiring a coordinator as a 1st time HC as they have failed 3 times in a row trying that.

if thats the case its a joke. i can guarantee you if david tepper ever were to win a super bowl, it now will have to be after he hired at a minimum 3 head coaches. reich or wilks wont sniff pone here. what a disaster.

Best coach to ever WANT this job.

Stupid is as stupid does. Par for the course as far as this organization goes.

I'm just hoping Reich will succeed because THAT'S our new coach now.

Reich is third on my list behind Steichen and Payton.  I was listening to a PODCAST yesterday saying it was Steichen job to lose.   I hope we hold out until the Eagles are out of the playoffs.  

I do believe that if Wilks is retained, we will definitely have a new OC.  I cringe at the thought of McAdoo being our OC in 2023.

    • Oddly feeling really good about tonight. fug the heat
    • Here are my takeaways from the conference (IMO): - Is Dan against taking a WR 3 years in a row? No. Would that be his preference? Also, no. Not by a long shot.  - I think draft gurus are wrong. Tight end is not an early priority. They like the guys in the building enough to see them develop, but a later round guy is being looked at (just seemed like he was able to label a couple of guys "talented", but stopped short of suggesting the class is good at the top. Seemed quick to talk about the depth of the class) - If we are taking a DL, it will be in the top 2 rounds. They fall off a cliff at some point soon after. - They are targeting guys in each round. I think we are more likely to move up than down in this draft to prevent missing out on a guy. He doesn't want to give up a lot though, man loves his draft picks. - DBs are a priority. We want to come away with a safety and a nickel. Maybe even a safety that can play nickel. Thieneman sounds more and more like a real possibility, if he is there. We are taking a safety in the first 2 rounds, if I had to put money on it. - Age matters more for 1st round picks, probably (Mesidor), but not for after that (Stukes). - They have a guy or two that they want in the 1st round, but crazy things DO happen in the draft, and they may shift gears and take a different guy if someone falls that they didn't expect to be there.  - Character matters. A LOT. If a guy has character concerns of any kind, you can be pretty confident they aren't on our board. They may bring in a guy or two for a visit to gauge the validity/severity of the concern though.
