What about the Panthers is appealing to HC/GM prospects?

What about the panthers franchise is appealing to fans?

There are ONLY 32 GM and HC spots. If you want in, and Carolina offers, you take it.

Nostalgia for the Jake Delhomme teams in the 2000s and the Cam teams in the 2010s.

Thats literally it

I'd add the GB shootout for the playoffs in 99.  But yep, pretty much this.

If you're a hot commodity, let's say Ben Johnson, Shane Waldron, Frank Smith next year, I imagine Tepper is the one thing that will give pause.  On one end, it will be a juicy contract, on the other, it's an involved owner.  It's not a comfortable situation that any guy will just accept.  

If Tepper wants to approach this in a fresh way and find a way out of this mess, he absolutely needs to take a step back, hire executives to run football opps and have them build a team for him.  Just relax, spend money on the execs in the NFLs pipeline that can be a Roseman type to run the ship.

Can you imagine Dave and Nicole on the other end of a zoom call? I’d be uninterested too.

I’m sure there’s many people out there that would like to make 10’s of millions of dollars by failing and only having to work half the time they agreed to. 
 

Seriously though, these high ranking NFL job guys think they are better and can fix other people’s mistakes. There’s many people who would take this job. Also, look at the Browns/Lions. They were in our position not too long ago.

You have a dogshit team, no draft picks to fix it, your starting QB isn't good, a meddling owner etc.

Like, when Shitterer and Frank Wrong are fired, there will be other openings in the NFL. Any coach/GM worth his poo will hop on anything other than this shitshow.

Assuming Tepper makes a change, If a strong coaching candidate or GM has more than one option for the 2024 I can't see him viewing Carolina as Option A. Someone like an Eric Bienemy who has struggled to get a HC position, or a FO executive who has struggled to get a GM job, would probably take it just for the opportunity.

As you stated we have no 1st round draft choice. On offense we don't appear to have a franchise QB on the roster. We have a solid slot receiver but no real threats on the outside or at the TE position. Our run blocking is mediocre. At times our pass blocking is downright awful.

No consistent pass rush on defense. 1 solid player at LB. Our potential Pro Bowl CB is always hurt. No ball hawks lurk in the secondary. 

Not much on the current roster to work with. It would take a coaching genius (which we don't appear to have) to take the current roster and make them competitive. This means a GM with a shrewd gift for talent evaluation (which we don't appear to have) has to come in and find some draft day steals, overlooked gems from the undrafted guys, and fill in the other gaps with affordable free agents and solid trades.

That's a lot to overcome especially if you have an owner who may be a hindrance to your properly doing your job.
