Its on his podcast  here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/panthers-hc-search-our-latest-analysis/id1523253913?i=1000595805200

about midway through

now your turn

Already posted elsewhere...

John asks Mike Kaye for inside info on the young interviewees. Kaye mentions that none of them (Steichen included) were especially impressive whereas both Reich and Wilks "presented very well".

Hell, it's even been reported that Sean Payton came away from his interview impressed with the Panthers, but it doesn't seem to have been mutual.

I know you want to drive this narrative that everybody bailed on the Panthers just so you can talk sh-t, but it's stupid.

I think you should be careful about what the media is pumping and about red herrings because I think the Panthers have finally figured out how to conduct some smokescreens. I still think Wilks or Reich could be the coach but I don’t think they’re done interviewing either

I don’t think they are considering Payton anymore. The comp to the saints is too big a pill for most teams to swallow let alone a division rival. I think the interview was more feeling out and conversation than an actual interview 

Albright and others have said Payton is pretty much out for us.

Please no Rodgers...  He looks like a shell of himself and has one foot out the door already.  Also sometimes the right coach can mold a young QB into a franchise QB.  

Isn't Rodgers due something like 59 million dollars next year lmao?  We are right up against the cap and the only QB we have on the team currently is on a 3rd round rookie contract.

We're gonna end up with Frank Reich and Will Levis.  

Reich and Stroud.  Apparently we’re high on Stroud.

and I do know Indy is high on Levis.

 

so as bad some of y’all think it’ll be here.  You could always be a Colts fan with Jeff Saturday and Will Levis

If it were up to Wilks, I'd expect it to be Holcomb.

If it weren't left up to Wilks, I'd pivot back to the question someone else asked: Why would you hire a guy you don't trust to choose his own staff?

I agree Scot but it's worth pointing out that there are head coaches out there who are great coaches and successful but still have the struggle of keeping staff members too long (or making the wrong staff decisions).

For example the Ravens the year they won the Super Bowl I believe the owner or GM essentially forced Harbaugh's hand to make an OC change mid-season. Also look at Belichick with Patricia/Judge last year and now Kraft stepping in to get him to make a change. Even Rivera, for all his faults, is a solid overall head coach (having Rhule for 3 years makes Ron look like a god damned genius) but was horrible with picking his staff.

I think I would trust Wilks with hiring a staff. He has yet to be given the chance so we have no idea what he would do. I'm also of the opinion that they hire someone as HC out of left field after all of this and none of what we are hearing is close to the truth.

      Big changes coming

      By MechaZain · Posted

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
