“I’ve talked to him,” Reich said when asked if he’s mentioned a coaching job to Kuechly. “I’ve kinda broached that with him—a few months ago actually. Don’t think he was ready for that conversation yet. But I just tried to maybe plant that seed a little bit. I don’t know if he’ll ever do it. But certainly, we would welcome it if he would.”

I think Luke just enjoys being around football but doesn't feel ready for a coaching position. Luke's demeanor has always been a very quiet presence off the field but on the field he was a maniac! It's kind of weird to see him yelling at players to get the most out of them. At least Reich knows how to treat Panthers legends compared to Rhule.

Luke has tens of millions and a girlfriend/wife who’s a surgeon. He doesn’t need a demanding job and I doubt he wants one.

Don't think it has much to do with need with people like Luke. He would do it because he wants to compete

Luke is enjoying life being around football but knows that coaching will consume it again. Deer season and football coaching don't go hand in hand.

Could be back in coaching in the future but I'm not holding my breath for anything soon.

The more I've thought about it, the more I think the pro scouting role he had before really might be the better option for him.

One of the prime duties of a pro scout is to watch film of other teams to look for tendencies and exploitable things.

Luke was always phenomenal at that.

He would be an incredible asset for us. His preparation and knowledge of the LB position and defense would be hugely beneficial. 

That said, he seems pretty happy with the retired life and I wouldn't blame him for continuing that life in the slightest!

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
