I can't tell if the people in this thread that are excited about Reich are actually excited about having Reich or are just excited it isn't Wilks.

Honestly, this is a pretty meh hire. I think he will be something like a RR results wise - might get us to the playoffs 1 out of 3 years and won't do much of anything in the playoffs (unless he finds an elite QB to carry him).

Little of column A. Little of column B.

Uninspired retread hire. Low hanging fruit. 

Obviously an improvement over Rhule but Tepper never fails to fail. Wilks earned the job, but that's too out of the box for the stodgy NFL, and Tepper is incapable of original thought. He is a follower,who hired the incompetent Rhule because he was the new shiny object.

I don't hate Steve Wilks; what I hate is the borderline obsession a portion of this fan base has with him and the "smash mouth" style he represents.

It's not 1995 anymore, folks. I remember when the fans complained non-stop about "Foxball" and wanted a modern NFL offense. Nowadays Matt Rhule has folks so shell-shocked they're begging to go right back to it.

Reich was far from my first choice (Steichen) but my priority was getting an offensive-minded HC and he does fit that.

McVay looked like a dweeb this year without superior talent on the offense. It doesn't matter who the coach is if you don't have a QB, or incredible talent. And to that point, you could argue that Wilks coached the BEST VERSION OF SAM DARNOLD throughout the end of the season.

    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
