Please...not Bill Belichick

There are more attractive places for him to go than here, so I'm not too worried about that. And it's way too early to jump into who is the best coaching candidate out there that will be available.

There's this one coach who seems to be losing his fanbase that has a small chance of being let go that would be a major get for us. Let's see what shakes loose out there first.

I do know, however, that the Belichick coaching tree has been pretty much picked of all its fruit and short of Vrabel doesn't have much marketplace strength right now. I don't think Bill will be as coveted as many think.

He's not better though. You just going off what he did with Brady. He has legit looked below average since Brady left.

 

He's also 71 it's not like he has these new ideas of finding ways to improve as a HC. I don't want any part of that guy coming here. We already tried the older HC with younger roster thing. It didn't work. BB is even older than Frank. 

Belichick is going to go down as the best there ever was. Below average? Dude, he doesn't have a QB, or any particularly standout players on offense. Brady went into a ready-made situation. If Belichick goes into a ready-made situation, he'll likely do the same thing. That being said, we are the antithesis of a ready-made situation. I'm not worried about him coming to Carolina.

At the end of the day, Bill and Tom had years of success together. You really can't separate the two.

Only way I could see him coming here would be if he didn’t have any other option. The Panthers are in such shambles I wouldn’t be opposed to somebody like him coming in for 2-3 with very low expectations and showing the Front Office what they are supposed to do and setting some type of foundation of culture for the team even if we sit a .500 a few seasons. That would be an improvement and would attract better candidates and players.

I don't care about his past. We talking about right now. He's not a good fit for this team point blank.

Personal vs professional are two different kinds of connections, a big ask for someone 72 and use to being in total control to be flexible for a 22 year old kid in order to coach him  

I agree I don’t want Belichek. Only way I could see it working with an oldman is if he was a master QB who could pass on his knowledge. And Reich was definitely not a master QB in his playing days

If literally any other team wants belichick, he is not coming here. We are his safety school NFL team to coach.

I don't know, man.  This feels like the perfect situation for Belichick.  We will pay him the most.  We would give him the most control.  We have 0 expectations, so if Belichick fails here, it won't reflect on him as poorly as it would if he failed with Herbert.  We are a small market, means Belichick has to deal with less press than he would in Los Angeles or New York.

I don't want Belichick. But it does make sense on his end.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
