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

Disagree with Field Yates. Tepper can do wonders by meeting and discussing job security with potential candidates. Tepper has to SELL the organization as much as the candidates have to sell him. He could better sell the organization by admitting he is a meddling owner as well as his wife and that they both plan to take a step back and let actual football knowledgeable people run the show. This may give many great candidates some actual comfort and reassurance. It's all about him selling the organization to actual potentially GOOD coaches. When you have fired Rhule and Reich in the way you did it's now your responsibility to market and sell your team to those who are trying to sell themselves in an interview as well. Tepper is a financial genius, I'm sure he already knows this but the question is will his ego allow it to admit his faults to himself and to figure candidates

He has to be willing to do this first.

Right now, there's no indication that he is.

He admitted he made the wrong hire in just 11 weeks.    He will never publicly say anything of the sort about his involvement but actions speak louder than words.

The list will be long, the job is that much of a rarity. 

And, honestly, with Bryce we could end up with a situation like the Jaguars did... new coach, new plan, better ability, and you start to build a guy worth the pick.

And I'm betting that as soon as the offseason hits, we will get Burn's contract nailed down for a mint and then promptly trade him to a team for a mid-round first round draft pick.

I don't really care if the list is long.

I want it to be good.

That's the hope but the Jags got somewhat lucky that Pederson was available at the time and interested. What SB winning HC can we get to save us?

Honestly, I don't know. We could be both surprised and angered by who we pick up.

And I don't think Belichick is going to be free (not that I want him). I think Belichick is doing the most covert tank job of all time so he can have pick number 2 in the draft AND get the QB he wants.

Well I sure hope he does. I mean if we all can see it why the heck can't the genius see it? If one is so intellectually gifted, they should be able to see past their own ego and do a very unbiased self assessment to check themselves and improve themselves. He is a smart guy so I just expect some things that he should be able to do. If I can do it with all my faults then I expect anyone to be able to swallow some pride and check the ego to do it as well.

Me, too. And obviously, unquestionably, without a doubt, blindman find it in the dark good. Like heralded by the trumpets of angels good.

But, like when we fired Rivera and hired Rhule, then fired Rhule and hired Reich, I'm going in with this caveat: "What we get may be worse than what we jettisoned."

I was right about that when we let Rivera go. And again after Rhule (and who in the world would have thought that, not me even). 

Let me be wrong this time, let me be wrong! Please.

So you are saying that the message from Tepper was sent out before they told the team? I don’t buy that. I think Franks agent leaked it

Frank's agent has the ability to post on the Panthers official Twitter?

To tell the truth, it wouldn't really be beneficial to Frank's agent anyway. 

Regardless of how it got out, the fact that it did is just another testament to how big a sh-t show Tepper is running.

Why?

 

He fired the coach.  The report was leaked to media before the front office could meet with the  players.  They were on their phone and saw the reports.

 

This doesn't mean anything.   Tepp has sucked as an owner but this is nothing.

    • This article (ESPN) got me thinking and I think on paper.  Thought I would share.  This thinking involves realistic cap analysis, needs, the draft, and free agency.  I think it realistically addresses Edge and LB fairly well.  OL (not 2026 so much, but 2027 and beyond looks good).  The free agent S has deep range and coverage skills, something that killed us on third downs last year, imo.  Beyond Edge, LB, S, and OL depth, that is about it.  I took a flyer on DT and WR depth late in the draft, but at CB (Horn, Jackson, Smith-Wade, and Thornton), QB, RB, TE, etc. we are going to rely on undrafted free agents.  No cap room left. EDGE:  In the $7m per year range, the edge from Atlanta Ebiketie got pressure at a high rate in reduced snaps. With Atlanta adding 2 edge rushers as rookies who seemed to do well (Pearce is one of them--*) but he got pressure in limited snaps at a high rate 16.9% (one in eight pass rush).   He is 27 and played in 384 snaps.  PFF Score of 74.9.  had 2 sacks.  If he had a normal workload, based on his limited play, he would have had about 5 to 6 sacks and about 60 pressures.  However, it is likely he would be rotational here, logging about 500 snaps.   A lot of this decision depends on how we feel about Princely.  If they like his development, you probably do not draft an Edge in round 1 or maybe even 2 for several reasons (and many may disagree with this logic, but a good GM has long-term vision):  1. That would give you 3 Edge contracts to negotiate in 3-4 years.  2.  Edges take time to develop.  They would peak around 2028.  The Panthers are in "win now" mode, I think. Mafe (Seahawks, PFF 69.2) is another option, but he is more along the lines of Scourton and Jones II.  He would command a contract in the $10m range. Kwity Paye (Indianapolis, PFF 68.7) He is about 28 and is expected to sign a deal around $18m per season.  I am not that impressed, but he is considered "above average."  I'd rather have Ebiketie from Atlanta for $10m per season less. Center:  The center position in the draft is looking better.  There are some short armed OTs (like Parker, Duke, et al) who will project inside (G,C). Personally, I like the Center position in this draft--let Mays walk.  Re-sign Corbett, and draft a C in round 3.   Linebacker:  I am not sure what we should do here.   I think Morgan will fall in love with Cincinnati's Golday, and we would take him at #51.  Rodriguez (Texas Tech) in round 3 could be a steal.  However, I am not sure that I see value after Styles in round 1.  I think Devin Lloyd will want elite meny and he is not elite--he is good.  He will ask for $15m per season.  Leo Chenel (KC, 75.1 PFF, est. $5m) is a much better option. Safety:  I think Kam Curl would be a great fit here. (Rams, 2 Ints 87 tackles) he is very versatile. Expected to get between $10m and $12m per year, however.  In the draft, I think they like Bud Clark who should be there in round 4.  Are Moehrig, Ransom, and Simmons enough?  Tony Adams (63.7 PFF) a deep safety known for his range.  He is expected to get a 3-year, $20m deal on the market. Based on what I am seeing here and the way I am thinking right now on 2/21, here is what I might do: Free Agency CAP: I am going to assume we can clear about $50m by restructuring the contracts of Horn, Lewis, Hunt, and Brown and cutting AShawn Robinson.  We could (bold move) extend Ickey Ekwonu--considering his situation, it could be beneficial to him long term, and his guaranteed salary could be spread over the next 3 years or so. Re-sign veterans:  OL:  Corbett ($3m), Nijman ($4m), Christensen ($2.5m--2 years $5m), Jake Curhan ($1.4m-2 years, $3m).  BC may be ready around mid season, Curhan has experience at RT and G, and played well.  He has played LT in preseason.  There is NOTHING in free agency at LT--most sucked in 2025 and/or are old.  WR: Jalen Coker ($8m--4 years, $32m), LB: Rozeboom ($3.5--2 years, $7m) Cherelus ($1m)  ST: Isiah Simmons ($1.5m).  TOTAL:  Approx. $25m New Free Agents:  Linebacker:  Leo Chenal (KC, age 26) estimated $5m. Safety:  Tony Adams, (NYJ, age 27)  estimated $7m Edge: Arnold Ebikete (Atl, age 27)  estimated $7m Draft: Round 1:  Cashius Howell, Edge Texas AM (This pick gives the Panthers a situational edge rusher to pair with Princely while Ebikete and Scourton start.  Jones II could be cut to save about $4m in cap room. Round 2: Caleb Tiernan, LT, Northwestern (Good pass protector who needs work in run blocking.  I wanted Golday LB here, but if we sign Chenel, the need is lessened at LB if we re-sign Rozeboom. Tiernan is solid). Round 3:  Jake Slaughter C, Florida (Groom behind Corbett for a while, but Slaughter is an impressive C who should be ready by 2027). Round 4:  Demetrius Crownover, RT Texas AM (This guy can develop as a backup until Moton decides to leave) Round 5:  Aiden Fisher, ILB Indiana (could be a nice fit in this system.  Smart, with special teams ability)' Round 6: Ty Montgomery, WR John Carroll Univ.  (very productive with good size and hands.  a gamble, but worth a sixth) Round 7:  James Thompson Jr.  DT, Illinois (was a beast at the Shrine bowl practices and game.  For some reason, there have been a lot of undrafted free agents and day 3 DTs succeed in the NFL.  This could be one.)
