Reich New Head Coach

[KatsAzz]

Reich wouldn’t confirm he plans to call plays in Carolina, but it sounds as if that's his preference.

“Obviously I've always enjoyed doing that, and felt like I’ve had a good bit of success doing that,” Reich said.

“When you have a head coach who has played the position, he knows what looking through that lens of a quarterback looks like,” Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer said. “He knows what processing looks like, how to call games through that eye. So there are a lot of advantages to having an offensive head coach."

I think the new DC will have a lot of input in deciding the kind of defense they run. It could wind up being  both a 4-3 or 3-4, being used depending on the occasion at the time.. 

Well one thing I do know is that while he thinks this defense is good, it is no where near good enough. He wants a top 5 defense. I'll sign up for that.

Wilks had us at .500 anything less than that this year would be disappointing.

Will Kunkel's interview with Reich is set to air this evening I think...

Either way, I'm pretty sure fans will much prefer this answer over talking about "a seven year plan"

The man is consistent, talking here about how winning in the NFL is all in the margins as he did in his press conference. I can tell that there will be no mixed messages from our HC.

Side note; just ran into Scott Fitterer at the CLT airport. Shared some excitement and I asked who’s next at coordinator? He said “you will find this week” and smiled. That was it.

Whatever we do, we can't continue with Darnold. The guy could only complete 5 passes in a freakin dome in a meaningless game. And he isn't a rookie, this was his 5th year. I'm done with those types of stat lines. We shouldn't settle for that.

Darnold was very good when he came back from IR.

I doubt they bring him back because the new HC will want his own guy, but that stretch of 6 games was the best QB play we've seen in a Panthers jersey for a number of years.

Kudos to Dave for taking ultimate responsibility for a bad hire.  

Hate to keep beating up on Marty, but he should have realized after being a GM for two decades that Matt Rhule was a high risk gamble (coming from the college ranks) and not a good fit for a team with a new owner.

The 1st gamble was trusting Marty. But I digress and you’re right.

He had the worst single game passer rating in the history of our franchise to close the season against a mediocre Saints team starting Andy Dalton.

Stretch of 6 games = 1 game?

 

I mean he sucked royal balls in that 1 game.  No doubt about it.

But Oldham's point was the other games as well.

I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and ignore the 100+ QB ratings he got (which is tantamount to a Miracle) in those 5 other games. (well technically he had an 85 rating in one of them which we won)

 

You can not want Sam Darnold back and still acknowledge he was decent  for us (save for the sh-tshow at New Orleans(which we won anyway). 

 

I'm ready to move on from him but not ready to ignore what I saw.

You followed this man to a new team I'm not expecting us to agree on this.
