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

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.

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.....

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

He is, however, experienced as a pro OC.

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.

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.

    • I mean, I alluded to it when we signed him. It might be different if he was old and washed up, but he's not. Sickness and suffering will never ever allow you to be your best. Eclipse that and if one has the talent and inclination to thrive, the sky's the limit.
    • Renfrow makes the team and becomes part of the rotation-- then he plays well.  Gets NFL comeback player of the year.  You all cheer.  When I say, "I called this in June."  You will say "Pic or it didn't happen."  I will say, "you all disgust me because you are too mired in mediocrity to see my brilliance."  You will give me a poo emoji because that is how you treat greatness.   OK, I'm back.
    • I did a little research. I think that it's hard to say that we're a traditionally "small-market" team anymore. Technicalities aside, our fan base is certainly not as popular as some others (lots of fans from different fan bases can probably argue that though), but the Panthers do have a solid and committed following if you look at things like home attendance and---fascinatingly---social media digital presence (e.g., back in 2023 there were three million followers of the Panthers on Twitter, ranking them #5). It's just hard to get exact, up-to-date numbers because much of the relevant information is not forthcoming, but suffice it to say that winning changes things, even if temporarily. Even if the fan base is smaller, it certainly seems to make a lot of noise. We just need to win. On an off note, Tet McMillan has fairly strong rookie jersey sales. Between him, Bryce and Legette, maybe the fan base will grow a little.
