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?

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
