A reply to lady panther from the other thread. 

 

The Panthers interviewed/requested interviews with two types of defensive coordinators. Experienced ones and those with really ties to Fitt and Morgan from Seattle. 

 

That's the first part, 

Second part is after the Vic Fangio interview for DC, people thought it was associated with Payton being hired. Then leaks came out that the Panthers wanted to pair Fangio with one of the young OC's. 

Essentially the Panthers wanted to pick the young OC's defensive coordinator and the DC would pick his defensive staff.

Man they fugged up. Wait for the young OC to want the job and then hold their hand getting a good DC. I wondered what the poision pill was and there it is.

I think that is mainly speculation based on the series of events that has played out. I doubt anyone really knows beyond the interview committee and the candidate or candidates.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
