I know a lot of the so-called fans are hoping for the worst possible outcome, just so they criticize Tepper more, so you have this narrative that we won't be able to attract a top coach, but the fact is these jobs are rare.  

Is there always a chance there are a few certain coaches that might not want to coach here, maybe, but that can happen with other teams also.  Either way they should be able to come up with some qualified candidates.   The important part is picking the correct one.

Luckily some in the national media understand this:

The first thing to always remember is that Head Coaches have BIG EGOs.  Aspiring to the position means believing that YOU are the difference maker.  The role of other people is to give you what you want.  The Panthers job is one where you are going to be paid well and get what you want.  All you have to do is win.  And with a BIG EGO, why would you doubt YOU are going to win if given everything you want?

Hoping for failure or just expecting more of the same?

It's looking like a circus already. I would love to say Ben Johnson would save us but he already walked before firing the HC 10 games into his first season. That's hard to imagine even if I still wish it.

Also the link never mentioned any names specifically. 'A lot of people'. Greg Olsen so far came out as one. So who are the other people? Harbaugh seems like an obvious name even if he had his call with Tepper last year that didn't go far. Lots of certainty yet not one name yet.

Here are some names thrown around from Josh Klein according to Vegas…I like MacDonald as a young dark horse.

Honestly I would be ok with taking a stab on the “middle of the road” hire. Find the guy that works for you, not who espn wants to sell as a story line.

I think the plan is to keep fittererrererer, tabor(hes rumored to step down as HC at seasons end, but remain ST), and evero. Basically a whole new offense staff. The guy thats willing to do that will not be of the jim harbaugh or bill Belichick level. It will be some new lackey/tepper yes man. Plus you have to fix byce young........

Thats one giant mess of issues and BS.

 The only other solution is total wipe.

I also heard that this coaching staff was the highest paid in the NFL.

It probably was the highest paid and one reason Tepper probably was upset with how things have gone. Reich said in his presser thanks for Dave for allowing him to go out and hire who he wants because money was no object for the staff.

No salary Cap in coaches Tepper will just have to dump even more money on a candidate (nobody's turning down 100m guerenteed)

What I heard is no new HC will take less than a 6 year contract, given teppers quick draw....... at least the smart and most wanted ones........

I have a hard time beliving Johnson wants to come here when he has his pick. I agree about MacDonald and he seems more reasonable expectstion. Not excited outside of Slowik maybe.

They would still have to sign up for the Tepper show. Who they can potentially get and who would come here is why I asked who the people the reporter was so excited and sure about. I get people would take the job but realistically there are 2 on that list i would like to see and I wouldn't hold my breath on one already.

He's burned over 100m in guarantees to Rhule and Reich...

I hope he let's an agency handle it.. but I'm sure he will have to back up the brinks truck

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
