This is a disaster, and it really isn't too early to consider firing Reich

I mean we're such a joke at this point I don't know anyone who was actually worth a poo that would WANT to come here. I get that people want HC jobs, but why go to an org that is in total shambles

Steichen’s interview didn’t go well for a reason

Fire Reich. Fire Fitterer. Promote Evero to HC. Let Thomas Brown run the offense. Bench Bryce rest of season let Andy run it. And draft offense the next 3 years until you can cross the Goal Line. 

Evero literally coached out of his mind today. He’s the best coach on the staff and no one else is even CLOSE

He’s awful and the product we are seeing on sundays is an operational failure that starts with him. All of my Colts relatives said he’s incredibly boring, unimaginative, lame head coach who calls plays like he’s in the 90’s. That’s all turned out to be true, it’s so incredibly obvious that the big fix is to let Brown call the plays. But of course we’ll drag our feet on this forever until Dan interest is deader than dead.

This is not typically how I roll.  But re: the title--it really isn't too early.  

He seems like a good dude, he had his success, SB win as an OC...but his hire had the same weirdness that rehiring Hurney and the Hornets rehiring Clifford did.

I gave it some consideration as he built the staff, seemed super promising.  We heard the players who came to praise the crew we brought together, we heard talking heads hype this coaching situation.  It has just been an unmitigated disaster thus far and we're about to play a league top Lions team and then Miami.. 0-6 is coming folks.

Things still feel directionless. They don't trust Bryce.  Bryce doesn't trust himself, the playcalling is awful, the OL is depleted, the whole team seems to be in a tailspin.  

They sold us a few things:

  • Playoffs were in the cards
  • We built the defense first, offense second, and then had the opportunity to give up assets bc we just needed a QB to insert

They were setting things up as if we were ready for takeoff.  

Then it doesn't quite happen out the gate.  Okay, that's understandable.  But, thing is, even in loses, you want to see SOMETHING.  Some type of WR stepping up, some chunk plays busting out here and there, some nice moments from a guy we spent huge capital to get.  We have gotten nothing. Zilch, zero.  Nada.

This is one of the most embarrassing things I've witnessed as a fan of the Panthers, Blackhawks, Braves, and Hornets.  I've just never seen such flatness, such uninspiring play.  Poor team construction, a QB that seems entirely frazzled.  This entire situation seems awful.  

Rhule was at least a dud that you could say was a dud, bad hire, not NFL caliber.  Reich is this "regarded" figure that is absolutely failing right now.  And the constant talking heads saying Bryce has his moments, or Reich just needs time are looking more silly by the day.

Talk me back into this please.

 

This is definitely not Colorado losing to USC after a slow start. This is Nebraska getting butt stomped by Michigan with no future in sight

Sir this man Frank legit looks worst than Rhule.

 

The play calling is mind boggling. It's like he's suffering from CTE with these boring runs up the middle. Dude coaching like he has a limited plays. It's the same stuff over and over. 

 

Frank is bad and I mean real bad. 

 

0-7 so far. Hell I can't even give him credit for a preseason win. This man hasn't won a single game since we hired him. He's a major problem right now.

We're stuck with Reich and Bryce for at least 2, maybe 3 years.

This grim reality is really making me question my fandom. I quite simply have lost interest in the team, which I never thought could happen. And knowing there is nothing to look forward to on the horizon, it's not just a matter of "I'm not watching next week," fandom. But rather, "I'll check in on how the team is doing a couple of times a year" fandom.

I genuinely wonder how many games in a row the Panthers need to lose to fire him. It’s possible the Panthers are the worst team in the NFL this season and the coach of the worst team in the NFL should always be fired IMO.

I've gotten to this point. At least when we sucked early on, there's was still excitement that we might get a top 5 pick. We don't even have that now. Seriously, what is there to look forward to? The other 2 QBs are looking GREAT in Stroud and AR, our coach is somehow WORSE than Rhule, we have one of the worst owners in the league who meddles in everything, our QB is a midget who fumbles anytime he is touched, our best defensive player who disappears in more games than he dominates wants an elite contract, we DIDN'T trade him for 2 1st rounders when we had the chance, etc. Like seriously, there is literally NOTHING to look forward to this time around.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
