REPORT: Frank Reich has talked to staff about his 'unknown job security'

Why should they have, though?

One, we had a very good offensive line. What sense would it make to abandon them? It would make way more sense to change the scheme.

Second, Reich came in saying his plan was to fit the scheme to the personnel. When coaches are saying that, why would you expect to have to swap personnel?

We already changed the scheme when Frank got here. If you look at what he's run his entire career it's everything this line is not built to do. This shouldn't be a surprise.

Understood, though his statement was that he planned to tool the schemes to fit the players (an idea that made perfect sense).

He didn't live up to that...at all. And I really don't know why.

He might have...in private.

NFL teams don't take kindly to having their dirty laundry aired in public. Not doing that is the right choice.

Franks mistakes are his own, Colts fans told us he was ass. He chose to complete change the offense without the personnel to run it. 

Doesn’t change the fact frank was a well respected and well liked coach with 20 years of experience. And now he’s a sniveling little bitch with no backbone due to teppers meddling

Frank was fired from SD and Indy for this same stale poo.

He only knows one offensive scheme, and it’s from 2005. He took the best offensive line in football and regressed it to 18th in one year.

Tepper’s issue is he doesn’t have the experience to look at a coach’s body of work and see the red flag.

With Frank, the red flags should have been screaming.

Everyone in the Panthers organization is just in shock. Watching and listening to them through the off-season and preseason these guys really thought they were ready to take the league by storm. Oh wee mayne.


I think it set in during the preseason. Fitt tried to curb expectations right before the season if you remember.

Maybe Frank doesn’t know how. Like a lot of coaches, he’s a great leader but a terrible X’s and O’s guy. He knows one way and that’s it. Can’t adapt.

I don't hate Frank at all. He's coaching the EXACT same as he did in Indy that got him fired. I hate the stupid fugger that thought it was a good idea to hire said coach that got canned during the season. All my hate is toward the Teppers. They're the main culprit for this whole sh*tshow.

That's the story. Frank's incredibly likable and the type of coach you respect (unlike Rhule). However, he's just not a fit for the modern NFL at all.

If Steve Clifford played for the '88-89 Hornets, he'd 100% be Basketball Reich. As it is, they're still two peas in a pod: good leader, good guy, not cut out for coaching the modern game due to a refusal or inability to adapt.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
