Do we really go the whole season without some sort of change?

The writing feels like it’s on the wall for Fitts and Frank, so do we rip off the bandaid early or just let the season just finish out first?

 

I feel like with the reputation this team (mainly Tepper) is starting to get in the media, it might be a good idea to get a head start on the process as I can see a lot of Ben Johnson nos coming our way…

It wouldn't shock me if both are retained into next season.  It would disappoint me but not shock me.  Tepper could decide that he can't keep the one-and-done carousel going and needs to give more time to his staff.  I don't think he'll be bullied into making a change because fans demand it.

I honestly don't care simply because I'm not convinced it matters. Hell, I'm pretty convinced at this point that it doesn't. The names keep changing but the idiocy continues. Sure seems like Tepper is working a lot of puppet strings behind the curtain. I find it difficult to believe that so much personnel changes while we continue to do bafflingly stupid things. There's one common thread here.

There hasn't been a one and done hiring yet. Rivera got to year two, hurney got to year 3, Rhule got to year three, and fitt is on year 3.

Reich would be the first one and done. Texans did it two years in a row before they hired Ryans.

Fitt is gone at seasons end and Thomas Brown is the scapegoat for Reich 

Thomas Brown doesn’t actually work though as a scapegoat for Frank….because Frank was just fired a year ago for this exact same stuff.

He does if he gets the can and Frank stays on the promise of the offence getting a make lift under a new coordinator 

I mean I think Brown easily could get fired.  Frank fired his non-playcalling OC in Indy last year too.   But it’s Frank.   Frank’s the problem. 

normally that would be the move.  I just don’t think it works for Frank.  Generally when people pull the scapegoat move they weren’t just canned themselves for the same repeating problems.

Frank’s got to change the trend this season IMO with his O

You can't fire Reich during his first season unless some scandal came out. The Jags got lucky with Urban Meyer being a scumbag. Reich is squeaky clean as a person unfortunately for the fans so he'll be lasting until at least the end of the season. And honestly he deserves at least the rest of the season to right the ship. There are still 8 games left to play and a lot can change. I'm not expecting a single thing to change, but the possibility exists and there's no way to make any real lasting changes until the season is over anyway. So what's the point? 

To me, if the Panthers are the worst team in the NFL at the end of the season, you have to clean house. Who cares if they're in year 1 or year 10, or two years removed from a Superbowl win. I've always been a firm believer that the worst team in the NFL should always fire their entire staff. You were the worst team, how can you keep your job? It's the literal definition of being a failure. 

But again a lot can change. If the Panthers show some progress, I think Reich might be able to keep his job. Not looking good though.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
