Serious question: what HC candidate in their right mind would want to come here?

We tried hiring a college coach and we just fired a retread. Roll the dice on an up and coming NFL coordinator like we should have done all along and be done with it. There will be options regardless of the curret volatility of the franchise. That's the only path forward.

I disagree with this. HC jobs are hard enough to come by that there will always be interested candidates. There are more aspiring head coaches than openings 100% of the time.

The trick is finding the right guy. The hot candidates aren't always the best candidates. Plus Tepper has deep pockets, so I'm sure if he really wants someone he can pay them what it takes to get them to sign.

The larger issue is GM. Ideally we should fire Fitterer ASAP and use the rest of the season to find his replacement, then get his input on who the next coach should be.

Generally speaking it's actually harder to find a quality GM than a quality HC.

We should have kept Wilks. I get that he's had a so so year in SF. But there is something to be said about having momentum and he had it with us. One JC Horn game away from the playoffs, hometown coach, players loved him. He earned the job and Tepper fuged him because he thought he knew better.

That's what I said. Our options will include all the folks who don't have other NFL HC opportunities.

I'm considering applying. It'd be cool to get a meatball dinner out of the deal.

I think we’ll have more candidates. There aren’t that many options out there. Before this year people were saying Brown and Evero will have HC jobs soon and there’s Ben Johnson. Do you think all 3 will have multiple picks of their choosing and that there are no more good coordinators available?

I still have no faith in the hiring choice but we will have plenty, Tepper or not.

Stupid mistake, no up and coming candidate is going to risk their potentially one chance at a HC opportunity on Bruce and this roster 

Our only options will be coaches nobody else wants to hire as a HC, anyone with legit future HC chances will turn it down and wait, because they know most HC’s only get one shot at it.

Just set this franchise back a few more years with this decision, so so dumb

It was already set back. Keeping Reich would have been so dumb.

There's no excuse to be 1-10 even as a new HC. He was touted to have all this experience, not to mention all of the "great" coaches who came along with him. 

To me it just tells you how much NFL coaching runs on the buddy system.

Right. There's no reason to expect sufficient growth by keeping frank around. He already assembled to bring his all star staff together and these are the results.

The reality is, if you're worse than the guy who was fired last year and worse than the interim then you gotta go.

And if it's true Frank didn't want Bryce, but went along with the ride despite knowing he couldn't make it work with him the. He needs to be fired for that too.

 

This was the right decision and won't harm our outlook on getting a good coach.

If anything will harm that, it's the roster.

Carolina will have their pick of coaches.  Maybe it's not Johnson (although he's #1, #1A, and #1B) but plenty of coaches will interview.

Remember Jonathon Jones saying that "sharks" were circling that were interested in the Panthers job? 

 

 

Yup, still a lot of NFL coaches that love Bryce even we don't.

You're seriously going to defend David Tepper?

Have fun with that one 🙄

You don’t read much when a post doesn’t say what you interpret.

Should Tepper have told people in the building before Frank?

The first tweet had an interim coach and Caldwell’s new role in it. Do you think Tepper went to the media first about the firing or do you think Frank texted his media friends to say he was let go? Seems like he went right from Frank to the other coaches to me.

All you can retort is that I’m defending Tepper and that’s not correct. I was saying you again were wrong in your backing of Fitterer and then Reich. I also said Tepper has done a terrible job at hiring. I and many others wanted Fitterer gone with Rhule. We were right and you were wrong. It happens man. I’m just not throwing Tepper under the bus when the media just wants to roast him instead of Reich who was terrible.

Feel free to tell me how you would have handled the firing differently and how you know Tepper told the media first, which I know you won’t do because you can’t just say Tepper sucks.

Bryce can work in a lot of modern NFL offenses.  Plenty of coaches know that he has tools.   He clearly needs work as well.

 

I think lots of coaches aren't going to turned off by the situation.  The only thing they won't like is not having a first round pick.

Almost every new HC goes to a bad situations because their previous coach was fired for a reason.  This isn't anything new.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
