Someone more educated than me could you answer this: what’s stopping any of these candidates from using their agent to put verbiage into any contract that specifies minimal owner involvement? We know this job is the worst for numerous reasons, one of them being David Tepper. If Tepper finds the guy he covets, why couldn’t said candidate say “listen I am not taking this job unless you agree to stay out of my business”? Could be the best thing to happen to us and also a super reasonable thing for any of these candidates to do. We don’t have much leverage here.

Generally speaking, very few of them would be in position to make a request like that.

We're in a position where we might need it in order to get a candidate we want because our owner is a dumbsh-t.

Texans fan chiming in to give my non expert opinion. I think Slowik is one year removed but if he is "the guy" you just have to deal with the bumps and bruises the first year or two and roll the dice. 

I have learned that there is so much information we aren't privy to and so although it's fun to play armchair qb, we don't sit in meetings, we don't see players practice, we aren't there game planning. 

Winning cures all as they say but many a Texans fan has complained about his play calling the entire year until this last game which seemed to be our most complete game maybe in the history of our team. I think he could benefit from another year of managing just one side of the ball and not having to worry about the team in its entirety. 

Personally I would hate to lose the continuity we have finally built but I'd be curious to see what he can do with Bryce.

I get that logic, but we've seen a lot of younger offensive coaches get HC jobs that "weren't ready" in the eyes of many who have become great head coaches.

Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Zac Taylor, Matt LeFleur and Kevin O'Connell just to name a few. If anything it's been the older/more experienced coaching hires that have struggled in recent years.

To be fair though, outside of McVay none of those have won a championship yet.

Most are still in the realm of "good", not yet "great" (or in some cases even consistently good).

Does anyone know if Harbaugh will interview with other teams? 

Nothing reported yet, although Raiders allegedly have some interest. Unless he specifically wants Herbert I'd be surprised if he doesn't interview with at least 2-3 other teams, hopefully we're 1 of them but seems unlikely.

True, but if you look at the teams that have hired head coaches since 2017 (the year both McVay and Kyle Shanahan were hired) there definitely appears to be a trend of younger, offensive-minded coaches out-performing older, more experienced and/or defensive-minded coaches.

I get it. I'm just not a fan of letting trends affect that sort of decision.

Ken Dorsey is technically a young, offensive minded coach. Would he be a better candidate than someone like Dan Quinn, though?

Yup at least try, that’s all I want. He turns us down, cool, we don’t even attempt it, Tepper isn’t serious about winning.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. But I certainly hope our choices don't come down to Ken Dorsey and Dan Quinn 😄

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
