It will take 4yrs 70mil to get him here...plus one year to prove bryce aint it...and to unfk everything Fitt jacked up....

I don't care about Tepper's money when salary cap isn't involved. He just needs to hire people he trusts enough to leave them the fug alone and let them do their job. If that's Ben Johnson, fine.

...Yea...im speaking just on what it might take to get Ben Johnson  here...I think it will take more for someone to take on this train wreck. But dipper thought we were a drop in point guard away to competing from all the smoke fitt, (who he trusts), was blowing up his azz... is he going to be patient enough for a turn around or does his dumbazz think we are going to come close to competing next year?  Hes so far outta touch with whats going on its mind boggling... Jesus can't fix this in one year which is what Homer Simpson wants...but he can't buy.

Hmm, let's see.....

Option 1 - Go to Chargers with an already established franchise QB and weapons with very good players on defense.

Option 2 - Bet your coaching career with a potential bust of a QB, no weapons, no draft picks, and a meddling owner.

That sure is a hard one.

Mods close the thread and pin this response lol. Nothing left to be said.

I think the Chargers job is a bit overrated (still far better that ours though). They are $40M over the cap with an aging defense. They will have to cut some of their stars to make it work. The old GM left a lot to be desired. They do have a QB with a lot to offer, but one who hasn’t shown he can win when it counts.

David Tepper acts like one of those spoiled rotten brat$ on Willy Wonka that wants all the new shiny toys...just saying

FYI: Mile Kaye thinks it's remotely possible that Tepper tries to keep Fitterer by blaming everything on Reich.

Somehow that worked once with a lot of people blaming everything on Rhule and Fitterer getting a total pass.   It wont happen again.

Ben would be crazy to take the job. Dude will have his pick of any opening there is. Only thing Brass Balls has going for him is his money.

So Tepp has “conviction” on “his guy” again. Tale as old as time.

I want Gal Gadot, doesn't mean I'm gonna get her

Yeah I get the generational thing, but my god man Linda Carter has her beat by miles. Almost a perfect 10.

For everyone saying $, it’s already been the strategy and how has that worked so far?

newsflash - some coaches don’t want their career to die and actually want to go somewhere were they have a chance to win and don’t have to have weekly meetings with someone who has no clue about football nor do they want to have three way votes with his wife on what happens next lol

I agree, it's fools gold.  It's a better landing spot for someone with experience (at both positions) because they can rebound faster than having the growing pains and dealing with those type of things out of the gate. Chicago IF it comes open would be the better landing spot, great cap space, great GM, great picks. Yet, I feel like Chicago would try to lure Harbaugh.. this coaching cycle is gonna be interesting to say the least.

Johnson is the dream.

Harbaugh is the vet culture changer that can fix Bryce.

Neither are coming here. 

Belichick would not come to this much of a project at his age and history. I see him in LA or somewhere with more pieces to the puzzle in place.

Panthers fans need to be comfortable with either Evero, Slowik, Smith or O'Brien. Truthfully, Evero is going to make the most sense and deserves his shot. Learn from the Wilks mistake. 

I also think Flores could be a darkhorse, but I doubt he wants to go another round with an undersized 'Bama rookie QB.

What's funny is, that list we 'have to be comfortable with' would still be a great hire... sans Bill O'B and maybe Frank Smith.. don't know a ton about him tbh. If Johnson is the dream, I'd have to wager that Slowik is right up there. Did great with a rookie, granted better situation week to week.  Either way has him in MVP conversations and maybe 2nd in the league in passing... Lowkey I like Slowik, pairing him with a FO member from SF as GM. Evero is my close second though.  If we can't get a young OC hire Evero.

Neither Harbaugh nor Bill B are even confirmed to be in this pool of candidates to this point.  Mentioning them is a futile at this point.. I can circle back to them if and when they are confirmed to have NFL interest or interest to continue coaching.

Yeah, until one peeps the Chargers cap situation.  

Yikes.
