I'm in Zion National Park with limited signal.

Can you sum it up? It will be 12 hrs before I can listen. 

Thank you sir

He said exactly what he plans to do and it is everything his critics said he wouldn't or couldn't do. Tepper also told him to get the best staff money can buy. I'm starting to get a little hope that things will trend upward.

Seems to me the Wilks minority is actually the majority as I read various sources outside of the huddle. Seems the folks supporting Reich are actually in the minority this morning. Wilks did a great job not just average based on most knowledgeable folks and the players. After what Wilks did to restore Panther pride and our keep pounding mantra he surely deserved the job. But as a Panther fan I will support Reich like I have all other HCs we have hired but the angst is justified with Tepper once again pissing off fans and players.. Reich will be expected to win right away as folks think if Wilks went 6-6 with the crap he had, that he would have produced a winning record next year. So anything less than the playoffs for Reich will be a much bigger issue at least among fans. He already is starting one down....

The fans on the Huddle are more knowledgeable about the Panthers than your typical social media poster. I’m not surprised those with more knowledge can accept Reich is the better hire. I’m also not surprised those just reading social media headlines and the lawyer’s tweets are outraged thinking a social injustice has occurred.

From the article...

When Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich stepped up to the podium after his team’s 27-17 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, he demanded $20 from a reporter.

The reporter had bet $20 among media members that the Colts wouldn’t score on a Philly Special...the Colts ran the Philly Special for their opening touchdown in Week 15.

there’s your giant brass balls

Facebook and Twitter mobs generally are a poor reflection of the masses on any subject though. 

wanting Wilks is a fine take.  Lot of the social media stuff are casual fans or frankly not actual Panther fans.  Not all. A decent chunk.  

Most hardcore fans that fill the seats year in and year out…..aren’t likely to poll heavily toward Wilks being the guy we should hire.   Probably a more even split or leans offensive IMO.

It seems he is trying to at least.  What he is doing makes a lot of sense.  It appears he is trying to correct his mistake of trying to build a foundation and cultural with a college coach and rookie staff that wasn't capable of doing so. This time he is getting a experienced nfl coach to do that and it's a better start than the other bs experiment.  This is what he should have done the second the ink dried on his purchase of the franchise.  I'll take that for now.

People these days do love to get involved in online outrage, whether it actually means anything or has any relation to them or not.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
