More from Albert Breer on Reich's staff

[Mr. Scot]

From the latest MMQB (Link)

I really like what the Panthers are doing with their coaching staff. You’ve seen the hires. David Tepper struck a check to convince Ejiro Evero to come to Carolina, rather than go to Minnesota with his buddy Kevin O’Connell. They pried the Rams’ assistant head coach, Thomas Brown, from Los Angeles to be their OC and bring some McVay influence to their offense. They’ve hired respected position coaches like Duce Staley (who will also be assistant head coach) and Shawn Jefferson, and taken chances on guys like DeAngelo Hall. And it all goes back to what owner David Tepper said: There’s no salary cap on coaches.

In Tepper’s hiring go-round, that meant giving then Baylor coach Matt Rhule a seven-year, $63 million deal to choose Carolina over his dream job with the Giants. In Round 2, it’s meant surrounding Frank Reich with a staff stocked with rising coaches and established teachers, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how this turns out.

To be sure, there are owners in the NFL who’d prefer that spending on coaches—both on the guys in charge and their assistants—stay under control. Some have even worked to ensure it. But with the deal Sean Payton got in Denver from the league’s newest owners, and what the league’s second-newest owner is doing in Charlotte, and what happened last year (with what Miami’s Steve Ross, who just paid his new DC nearly $5 million per, offered Payton), it’s clear where the tide is going on all this.

I say good. Owners should be investing money back into the product, and I applaud Tepper for doing that. Now, if the owners would only do the same with officiating and the fields, we’d be all set.

Breer adds this in regard to Brian Johnson and Kevin Patullo...

• It sure looks like Brian Johnson is staying in Philly, after walking away from the chance to join Frank Reich’s all-star staff in Carolina. Which means he’s in line, once the proper search process is complete, to succeed Steichen as Eagles offensive coordinator.

• That would probably free up Kevin Patullo to return to Indy, where he was receivers coach under Reich, as Steichen’s offensive coordinator, once their process is complete.

Looking like Patullo will be staying in Philly as well since the Colts hired Jim Bob Cooter as their OC.

Wonder if there's some kind of assistant role he could be hired to here.

Any background with TEs per chance?

I liked the last sentence in the op. Fix the trash officiating most importantly and also the field discrepancies and let’s elevate this sport to the next level. There needs to be a major overhaul to the whole officiating system and a new standard decided upon regarding fields. All teams need to be on an even playing field, literally and figuratively.

I love that Tepper said that, and he's putting his money where his mouth is.

Word is that job's likely going to Jeff Nixon.

[AU-panther]

But Tepper is hard to work for and it might be hard to find coaches……

Not saying these guys are going to work but that narrative was so stupid.

With that being said I do like the choices and I also feel like we have some people in place that should know a thing or two about QBs, which finding our long term answer at QB should be this organizations #1 goal right now.

If he's already here, why the hold up I wonder? 

[kass]

So... how much more are the team spending on coaches than other teams?

Is the narrative that Tepper opened the wallet only based on the high profile names that have come in or have there been any numbers thrown out there?

[top dawg]

A lot of the old guard owners just might rue the day that they let bigger money into the club.

Contract details, maybe?

Lord knows everybody's getting paid.

Yeah I'm sick of having Lawyers refereeing NFL games on their weekends. Get some full time guys that have to worry about doing a good job or getting fired, not play football ref for fun
