He should hire a firm to put together a list. They should give him veto power to nix candidates from the list.  Anyone he doesn't like should be the only people interviewed. Then hire the person he likes the least. 

 

 

But to be fair he'll Hire the wrong firm

Here we go folks. No one will say so I will. Tepper is meddling again. 

I said it.  I am kindof off the johnson train because of his fixation with him.  I dont want dave and nicole making the call.  Hire a gm and/president and let them figure it out.  Dave and nicole are how we ended up with rhule, reich and not stechien which obviously was the wrong choice

If this is true then it’s pretty much a guarantee Ben Johnson is our next HC. LETS just hope he brings stability to the head coaching position finally. 
 

and tbh, contrary to what many might think, i actually believe the idea of getting Bryce to work with is probably attractive to Ben.

I don’t think this is a crazy take lol. It was widely reported last offseason that a lot of teams had Bryce as QB1. I don’t think an up and down rookie season would change people’s interest in coaching him.

There's zero chance an owner in not involved with a coach being hired.

Rational and agree. Owner should be looking big picture And have some detailed set criteria and sign off but he shouldn’t be the only guy making the decision. Need football guys making sure the coach checks all the football boxes.

But if the Ben Johnson fascination is a Tepper dream I don't have much hope for it.

Dude needs to hire a GM first. If not rinse and repeat

To be fair, we do know Scott and Dan were involved in the Reich hiring and Hurney was involved in the Rhule hiring. So at least Tepper isn’t going full on commando and doing it with no help. I’m sure whoever the next GM will be involved or he’ll just hire a head coach in GM in tandem. It doesn’t really matter who gets hired first imo as long as their visions are aligned. 
 

Also, Ik some have been mentioning him using a search firm but I kinda think the league is moving away from that. Albert Breer had an article out earlier this year about how owners are being more involved in their hires and not leaning on firms as much. Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think a hiring firm has been used for a HC/GM hire in at least a few years. The only recent one that comes to mind for me is Cleveland when they hired Stefanski. 
 

Edit: Here’s the Breer article:

Search firms may be a thing of the past lol.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
