At least Davis has the real balls to do what needs to be done - admit his mistake and cut his losses. 

This is what the brass balls guy needs to do with Reich and Fit

Balls aren't much good without brains.

Unless Davis goes outside for help, the next GM and coach will still be his pick.

(and probably be lousy...again)

Firing a coach that quickly would make the ownership look insane. Expectations are pretty low for a first year coach and a rookie QB no matter who they are. 
 

I’d rather give Evero a chance at HC than Reich but it’s par for the course to give someone in Reich’s position at least 2 years

Never liked or agreed with that approach. If something clearly isn’t working in the real working world you will be fired immediately. 
If we improve and start piling on wins then I will agree that Reich should be given 2 years. But if the wheels start falling off again and it is obvious it isn’t working then keeping him another season is pointless. 
No coach should be guaranteed two year, ever.

This is what that approach gets you.

Football doesn't work like real world businesses, at least not established ones. It's closer to a start up that you have to get off the ground...repeatedly.

Firing coaches after one or two years and thinking that will make you a winner is pretty much like guaranteeing your wealth and success by buying a lottery ticket.

    • I've already got $500 he throws for under 125. 
    • That and so many top tier WRs have had major injuries. 
    • uh..... no. I'm sure people will take this as me just pushing to draft T-Mac still, but it's not, we BADLY need a true outside #1 WR, whether it's my guy or someone else, it's a HUGE need, especially since we're not going to have an elite QB next year, we need to get the pass catching options to improve our QB play, no matter who that ends up being. I love the potential of XL and even Coker, but if you would take your Panthers fandom goggles off for a moment and look at it objectively, our two leading returning WRs for next season hav 284 and 263 yards through 10 games.   I don't care how good or bad the QB play is, that's a bottom 5 WR room in the NFL, if even that high.  Off the top of my head, the Browns, Patriots, and Raiders are the only teams with a worse WR situation going into next year as of right now (there could be others, but I haven't actually thought about it). XL's ceiling is likely as a lower end #1, but that would make him an elite #2.  I've likened him more as the Waddle/Higgins than the Tyreek/Chase (in terms of role as the Robin to Batman, not style of play) Coker, while we all think he can turn into something, is nowhere near good enough to go into next season as our #2 to XL's #1.  Realistically XL should be the #2 with Coker being the #3, and that still could be asking a lot from Coker at this point in his career. In today's NFL, you're not going to win many games with below average QB play and XL/Coker as your top two WRs, it's nowhere near good enough to be competitive over the course of a season.
