Aight.... I'm excited hearing this Reich might get canned talk.... Who's your head coach target?

Here's the thing.... If Reich is fired, we cannot hire a permanent until after the season.  The only real options would be to promote either Evero or Brown.  IF Evero saw this as an opportunity, and was basically promised the job (Violation of the Rooney Rule BTW) he would be the logical choice.  What Frank lacks is fire and demanding leadership.  Wilks would have these guys ready to run through a wall, and made sure his staff was adequately prepared.  He then let his coordinators cook on their own.

The issue with hiring an offensive guru as the HC is that he will want to focus on  play calling and be derelict to the CEO aspect of a HC.  Frankly, pun intended, I feel that is the case here.  Frank is overwhelmed and cannot fully perform the functions of his job fully.  The idea of collaboration is great in the business world, but even then, you need a leader to make decisions to achieve action items rather than just mire around in the brainstorming/sharing portion of the process.

These players need to be led period.  Frank's inability to acknowledge his way is not currently successful and refusal to adapt has resulted in players on the team not accepting his leadership on offense.  Evero has that mentality to lead, you can see the influence of his military upbringing in how he carries himself and how he prepares himself and the defense.

Cam need to come back and give the old pig and chicken speech to the offense.

Brown wouldn’t get promoted. He hasn’t even called plays in the NFL before. He was a position coach prior.

Would be Evero, Tabor, Jim Caldwell, or (god help us) Dom.

I just can't believe that he'd fire a guy in the middle of his first season. 

 

As for Head Coach, I think whoever eventually hires Ben Johnson will be in a great position to win big.

He’ll be the Bears coach and get Caleb Williams and Harrison Jr

Here's how I want it to play out. Reich and Fitterer are canned during our BYE week after we go 0-6 (we not beating the Lions or Dolphins). Evero gets a full 11 games to show what he's about. He actually lets Thomas Brown call plays and implements a lil of his scheme during the bye week. If we still look like sh*t at end of season, go offer Ben Johnson a contract he can't say no to. Boom.

I agree, but I doubt Evero would do that. He saw what happened to Wilkes after Wilkes did a decent job as an interim.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
