I wouldn't be surprised. I thought they were going to hire him straight out of Indy because it was such a perfect fit.

Everybody knows I want Harbaugh but even I can't deny Reich is the perfect fit for the Panthers. His family is still here, his kids grew up here, his grandkids are here. This job to him is about FAMILY. His Panthers family who still appreciate 1996 and remember him as our QB and a place he calls home.

I really hope they can keep Wilks as DC/Assistant HC.

Vic Fangio.  FIFY

[Mr. Scot]

On the topic of connections, Reich worked with Jim Caldwell in his initial year as a coaching intern.

Caldwell elevated him to quarterback coach after he took over the lead job.

Did something get leaked?

There isn't one in this draft class. 

Yeah we should wait until next year where the QB class is that much better!!!!

Both Wilks or Reich are just boring hires to me. 

Well, I for one am glad Tepper is not impulsively jumping on the shiny new toy, the most media hyped guy.  If he hires Reich I will be impressed...at least in his process this time.

Is Reich the answer?  Don't know.  He is not the sexy hire.  He has had some success and as others have said is well connected and has an eye for quality assistants.

At this point, I am not in love with any of the candidates.  I just hope Tepper does select the coach that the decision team is behind.  Does not look like he is going off the rails this time like Irsay. (Glad I am not a Colts fan.)

There's a lot of speculation that the hire could happen this week.

I can't necessarily agree with that. He might be an imperfect candidate but Hackett was just what his name suggested. His coaching history literally did prove that prior to being hired.

They both were on teams doing good enough to get a look at HC but neither looks good on their own. Is Moore better than Hackett? Sure. Good enough to matter? Nope. More similar than different. 

[PantherKyle]

Want Steichen. Prefer Reich or Moore to Wilks. Please don't hire Wilks. 

[ForJimmy]

I don’t think anyone seems to have a problem with Reich as a HC. He seems like the safe pick. How good is he at developing young QBs? I think that’s a key going forward for our franchise.

There is ALWAYS next draft, or maybe the next draft. No, the NEXT draft is definitely the one. 
In all seriousness I definitely think it is time to bite the bullet.
