Joe Person had some comments regarding the timeline in his latest Athletic article.

What we're hearing (subscription required)

New Panthers coach Frank Reich is expected to report to work Monday at Bank of America Stadium. The first order of business: signing his four-year contract to make things official for the sixth full-time coach in team history.

...

Reich is slated to begin meeting Monday with some of the Panthers’ assistant coaches who started the 2022 season under Matt Rhule and finished it under interim coach Steve Wilks. Wilks is not expected to talk with Reich after he was passed over for the full-time role. A source last week said it would be “weird” for the Panthers to offer Wilks another position on Reich’s staff since he interviewed for the head-coaching position after going 6-6 as the interim coach.

...

Tepper and Fitterer encouraged head-coaching candidates to retain offensive line coach James Campen and special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, according to league sources familiar with the discussions.

In an interview for the Panthers’ website, Reich said: “Our special teams has been really strong. Coach Tabor has done a fantastic job.”

...

Reich indicated Tepper — who has noted previously there’s no salary cap for coaches — is willing to pay to bring in high-caliber assistants. One of the knocks on Rhule was his decision to fill his first Panthers staff with mostly college coaches who’d worked with him at Temple and Baylor.

I'll throw in that while he acknowledges the possibility, Person doesn't sound like he puts much stock in Kellen Moore getting the OC job.

Besides the fact that Moore is pretty likely to have a number of options (he's already set to interview with the Chargers) Moore isn't a student of Reich's system so their respective offenses wouldn't necessarily include the same concepts.

Good news on Campen and Tabor. It sounds like Reich was told to keep them on staff rather than just “encouraged.”  Smart move by Tepp/Fitt. 
 

Also, it seems clear our owner is willing to spend what it takes. Being that’s the main purpose of a sports team owner, I’m in the minority that’s happy with Tepper as our owner. We are forcing teams league wide to match what we are willing to pay.

Good. Don't want. He doesn't get cute at times; some of the play calling is downright ugly.

On FB, I've had to listen to my wife's cousin cry and whine about Moore's calling all season. Even though he's a Cowboy fan, he had valid points all season long.

And I’d guess Reich will call plays.

I really like the sound of this. Reminds me a little of what Dan Campbell is doing in Detriot. Lets just get the guys who can coach in. I don't necessarily need to have worked with them before. I like that ownership is looking to hire the best and Reich seems more then open to not just hiring people he has been around.

It's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. I don't really have any dogs in the fight when it comes to OC or DC at the moment and I'm a big proponent of letting the HC get the staff together he feels he needs to get the team in shape.

That being said, under Rhule it became obvious pretty quickly where he'd screwed up on his hires. I don't think we'll see this here, though, as Reich is very versed in the pro game and the pro coaches around the league.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
