Tepper is gonna pull some stupid poo like naming Reich and Wilks co-HCs and in game management will be a disaster

 

So I may not be wrong...

The MMQB's Albert Breer said he believes the Panthers would like to hire both Steve Wilks and Frank Reich.

As Breer notes in his tweet, this is his own opinion and not a report. Still, the Panthers have had second interviews with both Wilks and Reich, and would benefit from the two co-existing on the same staff. With Wilks already having the support of the locker room for the head coaching role, it's likely the only way this would work would be with Wilks as head coach and Reich as offensive coordinator. This situation could become an interesting one to monitor as the Panthers reach the home stretch of their coaching search.

And all the Colts had to do was beat the league-worst Jacksonville Jags to get into the playoffs on the last game of the regular season in 2021 and they pissed their pants. Lost to a bad Raiders team the week before and then went to Jacksonville and were never in the game.

This is again another one of those situations where you have to determine is it the HC's fault or the QB's fault? Wentz turned the ball over twice in both of those games. One of those turnovers in each game were critical as well.

That would be funny if Payton walking had to do with Tepper not wanting to pay Sean as much as Sean probably wanted ... and is now might hire two HCs who will not take a discount. If he ended up paying more for them ...

This is a scenario completely made up in your own head.

Reich just got fired from Indianapolis. That had to be such a bullshit hassle dealing with all of that. Maybe he wants a break. He doesn't need the money, and his life is in Charlotte. Why wouldn't he accept gobs of money to be an 'overpaid' OC for the Panthers in his now home state? If he wants to be a HC again, he'll have plenty of options over the next few hiring cycles. 

If you have Wilks to handle the 10,000 foot view of things, and let Reich and Fangio handle the actual coaching, it sounds like a dream scenario for an owner with enough money to make it happen.

Because he's making gobs of money to sit at home anyway?

      Mike Kaye’s take: 2026 NFL free agency predictions

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Oh I totally get it, but just because we can do that, doesn't mean it's the right way to go.  If this was Madden with video game players, then sure, do it because it helps the cap.  But with real people, doing that is likely only going to piss him off and make him want to sign with any other team the following offseason. I'm not saying give him a stupid deal, but giving him like $3-5 million for the one season would be a massive raise over the minimum, it wouldn't hurt our cap situation, he'd still likely play well above that level of contract, and it would help keep him happier with the franchise. But in the end, all I really want is for them to find a way to make sure they won't be needing to do deals for both Coker and T-Mac in the same offseason, as that's a terrible way to spend your cap space in a single offseason.  Separating their contracts expiring/negotiations into different offseasons would be the best way to keep them both around long term.

      Going into that drive with 3 timeouts in our back pocket, I could never imagine the game plan was for Bryce to throw the ball away 3 times in a row to result to this 4th down situation. 3 fuging time outs available and acted like it was hail mary situation

      Consensus view on Evero summed up in 1:00

      By Castavar · Posted

      Absolutely should have been a fireable offense (and this coming from a guy who defended Evero throughout the season) There is only 3 outcomes you want on that drive. 1) Turnover  2) sack 3) They score fast so we get the ball back with a lot of time and 3 timeouts to win the game We chose the absolutely WORST possible scenario. We let them waltz down the field playing soft zone AND let them kill the clock in the process. If there was EVER a time to play aggressive with no consequence, it was on that drive. Ok, we play aggressive and get burnt on a long TD. Who cares, then we have the last possession to go win the game with 3 timeouts and  at least 1:30 left. Pisses me off just watching that video.
