Coach Reich's press conference better be all about the QB situation. Grill him and ask what his plan is to find our next franchise QB. Draft prospects, Darnold, Matt Corral, signing veteran. His hire doesn't matter if he can't find our next QB. 

I think Tepper brought Reich in to fix the QB situation, so I do expect us to be aggressive in finding the next  franchise QB. 

Why would he telegraph his intentions to the other 31 teams in the league? I hope he's smarter than that.  He should just give vague answers like BB and look at everyone in the room like he's going kill them in their sleep.

I'm sure you're happy. You've been banging the Reich drum for a while now haha

Only really settled on Reich when it came down to a choice between he and Wilks.

I do tend to prefer older, more experienced coaches. When I saw the interview pool though, I thought there was no way we'd end up with one.

Surprise, surprise

The obsession with Wilks by this fanbase for going 6-6 drives me insane.

damn fans on IG really wanted Wilks haha

All the non-terminally online fans wanted him. I don't get it.

Pretty cautiously optimistic about this and wasn't my first choice, but thank sweet merciful jesus that it isn't Payton. Definitely prefer this to Wilks as well, especially if he was going to bring Holcomb with him. Will be interested to see what Reich does with the rest of the staff and if he retains anyone from our current one, I'd like for the two huddle fan favorites (Campen and Tabor) to be retained but if he does go in a different direction in that regard hopefully it's a good one.

It’s the shiny new toy for a lot of Panthers fans that know nothing but mediocrity.

Better than Wilks or Rhule....

Jesus is this really our bar.

I mean he is offense and you do have to wonder how many saw Rhule’s hired GM standing there with Tep and his wife and  immediately was like damn, f this. I’d have to imagine probably the better candidates that had the most options. Makes logical sense.

eh guess we will see. Hope the DC is good.

Good enough I guess. At least we finally hired an offensive head coach. Really wanted either Steichen or Johnson but nothing we could do about Johnson and something went sideways with Steichen.

Casuals will bitch about wilks for a while. Hopefully he just stays on as d coordinator. These same people still bitch about not drafting fields

Referring to people as casuals and then thinking Wilks will stay on as DC. You can't make this sht up.

Pretty surprised, and that's a good thing.  I kinda wanted Ben Johnson, but at the same time, this team is in DIRE need of structure and leadership....I think Frank can provide both.

Will not surprise me in the least to see Carr in a Panthers uni next year with Corral and a vet fighting it out for the no. 2 job.

At worst, we know that Frank Reich is an NFL coach, and one that's offensive minded....we could have done worse...and have.

Now, let's fill out a staff and see if Luke is interested in returning.
