So let me get this straight. They didn’t feel comfortable offering Wilks a position because they interviewed him for a head coaching position yet were interviewing Evero after interviewing him for HC position. I totally gets Wilks stance to move on but from a Panthers perspective that can’t look to good for his lawsuit

And to add I’m definitely on board with the Evero hire

Wilkes was the head coach here in an interim capacity. That’s what made it weird.

This ^^^ it would be asking Wilks to accept a demotion of sorts. I also get the feeling that Tepper wants to take things in a different direction - defense included. And while the optics may be a little fishy from a legal standpoint, based on the inconsistencies we’ve seen - and the possibilities with the young core players - you can’t really blame him.

Trust me I get it.. but to publicly make that statement of not offering him a position for that sole purpose and to double back on Evero.. again to me just doesn’t help the case

For Evero, it's a promotion.

For Wilks, it would have been a demotion.

Re: Proehl

Looked up Beebe and apparently he's the head coach at a small private college in Illinois.

Not a problem and this is easily fixed.  1. Tepper looks under sofa tonight for spare change, 2. Tepper buys out the XFL team tomorrow, 3. Ricky becomes Panthers WR position coach on Monday, 4. 2 best players and Ricky’s son from XFL team signed to Panthers practice squad on Tuesday.  Easy, peasy…

IF (huge "if") we were to land Evero and one of the Philly names being kicked about, it would be hard for Wilks fanboys to be mad. 

Reich + BJ/Patullo + Duce + Evero + Evero's assistants >>> Wilks + BJ + Holcomb 

We get the experience, an offensive-focused coaching staff instead of a defensive-focused HC and a HC candidate for a DC. 

Dave Tepper, let's make this happen!! ---- and change the turf back to grass.

I wonder if Reggie Wayne is more committed to Reich or the Colts? He was a volunteer WR advisor for a few years declining coaching opportunities there. Joined Reichs staff in 2022 and was real disappointed when Reich was fired…

Found this article on Wayne looking comfortable in that role last year at TC. Much like Duce, I like the fire and buy-in from the players….

Reich seems to inspire an insane amount of loyalty. Sirianni went off on one with the media when the Eagles beat the Colts this year.

I honestly think Ginn was who he always was, he just had more opportunities with us because we were so bad at WR. Most teams have others guys they'd rather target than a guy only catching 45% of his targets.

Ginn took the top off of defences - something we've never replaced.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
