Glad to see Tepper is learning, but I find it funny how hard of a 180 he's done.  We went from a staff with 0 NFL experience to probably the most experienced staff in the NFL lol.

It seems like reactionary 180 decisions have been a theme for a couple years. This one feels different, like Tepper finally said fug it here's a blank check get your dream coaching staff so I can show my face in public again

If they aren't interested in coaching them up then what good are they?

The idea that coaches just what easy gigs without challenge doesn't seem based in reality.

If a coach has this approach you don't want them to begin with.

 

Understanding sarcasm is an art.  Our TE room is bad, but a job is a job especially if it's a promotion.

so do we know who they are talking to re: Tight tends coaching job?

i was just trying to get an idea of who thy might be chasing after. i started trying to do some digging, but after about 10 minutes of googling i gave up. 

i see us going three routes based on what we've done so far...either guys who have been head coaches or that are on track to be a head coach or who are position coaches and assistant head coaches...or long term players who are getting into coaching. 

so who is...

1) a former head coach who also either was a TE or coached TEs?

2) a rising star coach who may have played TE?

3) a former stud TE who is wanting to break into coaching?

I wonder if Tony Gonzalez wants to break into coaching?  He's still in broadcasting, correct?  What's Antonio Gates up to these days?

i was thinking about them. I don't think Gates is doing anything right now, but Gonzo has no desire to coach and i think he'll probably work with amazon again.

https://www.tmz.com/watch/0-c265zeyy/ this is him basically saying that coaching takes too much time and it would be a waste of time for him.

Kaye hinted that it could be Jeff Nixon.

That would make sense. Nixon did a good job with the running backs and he's coached pretty much every skill position on an offense. He was also one of the more NFL experienced coaches on Rhule's staff. Plus he's reported to be very well-liked and respected in the building.

To top it all off, it'd be kinda funny to see Reich succeed with one of Rhule's guys when Rhule couldn't 😀

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
