If one could dream I wish Tepper would back a couple of Brinks trucks to Ozzie Newsome's home and bring him aboard as the President of Football operations, hand him the keys to BoA and say "it's all yours Ozzie, do what needs to be done, I fugged it all up and I am going to let you and the people you bring in decide how to fix this poo show I created."

I know, it's a pipe dream....can't understand why Tepper can't see why he needs to stay out of the football ops and stick to his hedge funds.   Those billions built a big old ego......

I hope they go after one of the up and coming offensive coaches. Ben Johnson won’t go to the Panthers with better openings available. Brian Johnson ditto. I could see Ben Johnson taking over the Chargers and Brian Johnson to the Jets. The Bears might go after someone like Brian Johnson to develop Fields with big time playmakers like Marvin Harrison Jr available with their Panthers pick. 

Anyway I think Kellen Moore might be the guy. Sadly enough I don’t think the team would have flopped as hard if Tepper hired him over Reich. And we know DAMN well the team wouldn’t be this bad if he just kept Wilks. Whoever it is, it’s probably going to be another mess in a year.

That would be one hell of a staff lol

You take on Slowik just to get an elite talent evaluator in Peters imo. Given their history in SF, it might be the perfect match.

Day has never been an OC, but has a decent track record with developing QBs. 

Saleh is just a pipe dream, but you never know.

I have a feeling we’re going to interview lots of candidates then hire Lou anarumo

Lou anarumo has been growing on me quite a bit. I wouldn't hate the hire and it would mean that someone with actual football knowledge advised Tepper to hire him and Tepper listening to them instead of going with a splash hire or another retread. Ben Johnson is still the #1 choice though, and we should to everything in our power to get him to choose us over the other head coaching openings if he decides to leave the lions.

If I was Tepper, I would look at a team that is a consistent playoff caliber team and grab one of their guys, particularly a offensive minded coach like Ben Johnson or Brian Johnson

Ben Johnson turned us down last year when the position was much more appealing. He's not coming.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
