Love the guy, one of my favorite panthers of all time, but we need to start fresh 

Totally agree.

I think the mixed feelings on the Huddle is that a) he's a great Panther and b) concern that he's Brandon Beane.

Point A is nice sentimentality but no reason to influence a choice. Point B is understandable but nothing we should worry about. Worrying about losing Dan b/c he might be Beane is like not wanting to move on from Bryce b/c he might become Brees elsewhere...it shouldn't factor into the decision even though it could be true.

Of course Tepper would take 1 step forward and 15 steps back. 
Might as well have not gotten rid of Fitt if he just wanted to hire from within. 

It’s not final, and many on here say that radio station isn’t reliable, I think it was WFNZ or some poo? I dunno I don’t live there.

It’s definitely a possibility, he is very well liked. My understanding is they are done with initial GM interviews and are starting final interviews today or tomorrow. 
 

This candidate pool was very diverse. There are a few that could be Head of Operations types, some that could be GMs, and some that could probably take a “promotion” by filling the assistant GM role. 

You also have to remember the Morgan info could be leaked intentionally to cause misdirection among the other teams.

Gotcha thanks. What are you hearing about the head coach?

Pretty quiet. 
 

Also, I’m only speculating that it’s moving into Phase II because all of the Phase I guys have been interviewed or scheduled. I am really only hearing distant inaudible echos this time around.

Ok thanks. So probably no chance of Harbaugh, Vrabel or Bill?

Vrabel does not belong with those names.

 

Cmon Lobo you know better!

Nah he’s a good coach. Not on par with those two, but better than most options we’ve interviewed. 
 

all I hear about is how Tepper wants to win and all this bs. Yet no word on wanting to interview three really good coaches. If they say no, that’s fine, but it should be reported that they did. If Tepper isn’t even trying for those guys, then he isn’t serious about winning and all that talk is just more bs from and the talking heads.

There was speculation that the coaches we interviewed were the ones interested.

i.e. they back channelled everyone and didn't extend an interview invite out to those who weren't interested to save public embarrassment.

No way Harbaugh or Belichick want this job.

Pretty clear Brian Johnson is getting head coaching interviews because of the Rooney Rule.

When all is said and done though, it's unlikely his current employer keeps him.

Precisely why I referred to the article insinuating Halaby was the favorite and he was going to bring Johnson along ostensibly just because they work in the same building was lazy reporting and very misleading.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
