Anybody still not on board?

[KillerKat]

I thought nobody wanted to come here because Tepper is a big fat racist and Frank Reich sucks. At least thats what the huddle told me.

There's probably a lot of truth to that

But I'd likely still have to give the major portion of the credit to Reich for this build.

Money may talk, but it doesn't necessarily make smart choices. That takes a guy who knows what he's doing.

Yeah that aged well. As many of us know, you just have to give it time for things to come together.

Did Tepper just come into money in the last couple weeks or something?  Money has always been a factor, when posters were saying no coaches would want to come here.

I'm at the point that I'll believe success when I see it on the field.

I'll give him some credit, but he's really not the only smart football guy in the room. 

As for his hire, he'll earn my loyalty when we start winning. 

It's early, and a lot has yet to pass, but today I'd say that Reich needs to win at least eight games before I'll be satisfied. And I'd consider that a somewhat low bar.

I was Team Steichen but have to admit, I don't see any of the HCs this cycle doing what we have done. Even the great and illustrious douche that is Sean Payton....I don't see his staff being one that I would be this excited about. 

 

I almost hoped Payton would go to Indy. I guess Irsay and Payton didn't sniff each other out.

I NEVER bought into the race angle. And I’m African-American. One only has to look at the diversity within the Panthers’ organization to see that was pure BS. It was known before the search got underway that Tepper was looking for an offensive minded HC. Out of respect for Wilks, he was given a shot but he didn’t do enough and frankly, hiring him would’ve meant settling for the status quo. Had nothing to do with race, although I understand the optics. It was time for a change. And Tepper could see the League is trending toward more dynamic offense. 7 of the 8 teams that made the playoffs (including the two that represented in the SB) we’re headed by coaches with strong offensive backgrounds. I’m excited to see the team live supported since it’s inception finally getting on board.

Tepper finally looks like he is done playing checkers and ready to play chess!  Love this staff!  Lets go get a QB and roll!

[DeSim]

The infinity stones of coaching staff.  Now we just need a QB to wear the gauntlet.

I question why it was a vote with inexperienced people, most of whose (3/5) are not even football people. That’s strange. Think it’s a bad sign Tep is still taking a very hands on approach. I also am skeptical that out of all the blunders that came with Rhule, Fit just went under the radar and somehow Rhule’s backwards GM hire is he’s totally qualified and everyone thinks he’s great/qualified. Also very strange. I also don’t like Reich’s stint with the Colts at all, but plenty of examples of coaches learning.

And Reich IS an actual football person. He does know what he was doing so I never doubted his ability to fill out a nice staff.

The question remains most important QB, and is Fit competent in filling out a real roster. I have these doubts and these will make or break Reich.

I will feel much more on board if they somehow finagle moving up and getting an elite talent. Reichs’ offense will look like trash with retreads and game managers.

Those are fair concerns.

You have to wonder with this new coaching staff in place... if we go get a veteran QB like Carr ... its bc this group wanted it. 

With the additional Colts connection, I'm wondering if they might make a move for someone like Morocco Brown.

[L-TownCat]

I’m intrigued to say the least.  This looks like legitimate football operations and I wanna see where this goes.

[joemac]

Its pretty goddamn impressive that we now have 33% of the 9 coaches we interviewed to be the next head guy now on the staff.
