The Athletic insider floats Bill O'Brien to Panthers as OC

[Dorian Gray]

Quote

But a social media post from The Athletic’s NFL insider Dianna Russini on Monday almost certainly will cause some to wonder about the future of offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien. Russini shared a thought connecting O’Brien to the Panthers, and specifically Carolina quarterback Bryce Young.

“Frank Reich and staff are going to try hard to get this Carolina offense off the ground. The Panthers have smart coaches who can figure this out, but let’s say they can’t,” Russini wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “You know who knows how to coach the best version of Bryce Young? New England’s Bill O’Brien.”

No sources, just speculation based on New England possibly cleaning house this offseason and O'Brien's relationship with Bryce from Alabama.

NE’s offense is nothing to write home about either. May have more to do with Mac Jones’ struggles and BB’s days for retirement drawing closer. I’d hate it for Thomas Brown if this were to happen.

One person pointed out that O'Brien was supposed to fix Mac Jones as well.

He is, however, experienced as a pro OC.

BoB went there as a big favor to solve the offense issues.....who knows these days, Mcderp is a FA and had great success there twice....why not a 3rd and let BoB free?

BoB was a matt millen level GM, but hes a good coach. 

Theres a great recent clip of him chewing out jones on the sideline.....

It would require Reich to step away from the offense and let Bill implement his.  I'm not sure if Reich is capable of doing that...  The only reason is makes sense is it prevents Young from having to learn a 3 offense so soon if we decide to change things up at all.

In his defense he had a wide ass open TE for the game winning TD and Jones just missed it completely.  The OC did his job there the QB just couldn't deliver.

You would think so based off the preseason hype videos, but maybe it's a big ol' softy too.

BoB's entire head coaching career is thanks to Tom Brady or cleaning up sex crimes. 

He is absolutely not the direction this team needs to go, and he likely wouldn't accept a coordinator position.

He’s too busy insulting everybody to do any coaching
