That one wouldn't surprise me, given he worked with Wentz in Philly. And to be fair, when was the last time a Carolina QB put up a line like Wentz did under Reich?

Wentz 2021 stats: 3,563 yards (7 ypa, 62.4% comp %), 27 TDs, 7 INTs, 94.5 QB rating (60.6 QBR)

 

Many argued (analyst, talking heads) that he was a product of playing it safe. Weren’t there rumblings that year that ppl were tired of him take the layups 24/7 bc he didn’t want to ruin his stats? 
 

but yes you are right, numbers like those here don’t happen often.

People complaining he never drafted a young QB to coach up probably aren’t aware what options he had.

In his time as HC he only had 1 first round pick, in 2021 at position #21, where the top 5 QBs had already been selected. In all other years his drafts started in round 2.

To specify this is follow Lucks retirement.

This would be my interview question for Reich: 

In 2021, all you had to do was beat a 2-14 Jacksonville team in the final week of the season to make playoffs. Your team lost 26-11 in a game that was never in doubt. Can you explain what happened there? Why was your team not prepared to execute that day?

"Why did the Colts perform better offensively (6 ppg more) against better opponents this season under an ESPN analyst than you, a supposed offensive genius?"

I wouldn't be surprised if Wilks, Moore, and Reich are the only finalists. Basically the best option out of the following groups:

Young Offensive Mind group

  • Shane Steichen (virtual)
  • Ken Dorsey (in-person)
  • Mike Kafka (virtual)
  • Kellen Moore (in-person + 2nd interview)

Experienced Offensive HC group

  • Jim Caldwell (in-person)
  • Frank Reich (in-person + 2nd interview)
  • Sean Payton (in-person)

Defensive HC group

  • Steve Wilks (in-person + 2nd interview)
  • Ejiro Evero (in-person)

What do you mean? They said he didnt interview well. The Panthers and Texans were the only teams that did early interviews with Steichen. No one else requested

Colts did as well but don't see him landing the gig there either. He may end up being back in Philly.

I'd love to know what Tepper didn't like over a zoom call for a guy preparing for the NFCCG with a top 3 MVP frontrunner in his room. 

Who knows, he was tricked by Rhule (who is a dumbass) so hard in the interviews so take this with a grain of salt. Shane probably talked about winning football games which Tepper knows nothing about

    • “Y’all been watching film, huh? That’s cool, watch this.”
    • Really? Wow. Sorry. Got my timeline messed up. I remember someone claiming to be Graham’s mom on the old Charlotte.com board so I guess it was a long time ago that he was here. I guess I thought he was after Kasay. 
    • Nick Scott has gotten his share of Huddle hate, but I came across this SI article by Zach Roberts when I was researching recently released Quandre Diggs, speculated to be a better option  (https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/07/breaking-titans-cut-former-three-time-pro-bowler-quandre-diggs-4-destinations-ranked/3/), but getting back to Nick Scott... Now to be fair, the observation on Scott was before the Packers game, but the stats couldn't have changed that much, and may have gotten better.   "At some point during virtually every Carolina Panthers game, you have probably found yourself grumbling about Nick Scott. The much-maligned safety has seemingly been out of position a lot or has failed to make a play. The eye test has often let him down. "But that's why stats are so helpful. Sometimes, the eye test, especially for fans, is unreliable. On occasion, advanced metrics help make sense of things and lend more clarity. In the case of Scott, they make him look like a much better safety than any of us would've guessed. "In coverage, Scott has given up just 15 yards and an average of five yards per catch. That's the lowest among safeties, leading superstars like Julian Love, Talanoa Hafunga, Quandre Diggs, Kerby Joseph, Kyle Hamilton, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "In FI%, the safety leads all his counterparts once again at 40%. Brian Branch, Camren Kinchens, and Xavier McKinney are some notable names he leads. He's been pretty excellent in pass coverage, which is crucial for the Panthers." For those wondering, "FI" means forced incompletions. Now I'm way past trying to figure out why X links aren't embedding for me like they used to, but here you go: https://x.com/dacornerman/status/1981363757608513632?t=rx_5iLjp8_y5huNcg_y1nA&s=19   Suffice it to say that Scott may not be as bad as some have led on.    https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/much-maligned-panthers-db-way-better-than-think
