Same can be said for Wilks...

Why would he want to come now?

with no one else wanting to come here, right now it's his only realistic shot at landing a head coaching position.

in the end...he changes the culture of the team making it more attractive to future coaching candidates, and raises his own stock at the same time.

Points per game isn't a good metric considering our offense is fuging useless and has given teams a short field the entirety of every game. The fact that they aren't dead last in opp. PPG is a statement in itself

I like Ben Johnson, Waldron, and Frank Smith...all good candidates.  Unless it's a potential rockstar DC type, we're obviously going OC.   But who will it actually be? I'm gonna make an out-there prediction--

Thomas Brown somehow, some way, gets the offense producing TDs from here on out.  With some renewed trust, we pluck more from the Shan/McVay tree with some fresh perspective on that Rams SB staff.  This time, we're going full nepitism & a young offensive mind:

Wes Phillips

Thomas Brown sticks around with his old bud.  Do note--O'Connell wanted Brown in Minny.

I think Tepp will push for Ben Johnson or Harbaugh and neither will be interested. As others have said, I think he'll end up hiring Frank Smith since he helped turn things around with Tua.

My fear, (besides the fact we're talking about David Tepper), is that we hire Belichick. I've seen multiple people push this, including Will Brinson who should know better. IMO Belichick is washed, and was only a product of Brady even in the good days.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
