NFL Coach/GM Updates


Recommended Posts

Our defense did have to contend with an offense scoring more points for the opponents than they scored themselves (hyperbole but...). They also had to contend with terrible field position.

I've not checked in at the end of the season but we had a great third down defense and a good yards per play defense overall. 

My thing with Evero is how he managed to patch massive holes with poor parts.

This is not true - for most of the season the Panthers held more offensive possession than their opponents. Which is why we couldn't score, it took 27 play 13 minute drives to get to the endzone.

I need pink text or something for sarcasm. Sorry you took my response to heart.

No indication he's got a second interview anywhere else yet (including here).

Slowik did spend six years working for the 49ers under John Lynch and Adam Peters.

Either we have a really good idea who we’re going to hire at this point or we’re being turned down for second interviews by some of our candidates. Unfortunately, I have a guess as to which one is more likely to be true here.

I feel like Quinn, Slowik, and Macdonald are telling us no.

Quinn..? Why would we give him a second interview .. no one wants him to be the HC lol

MacDonald has no known second interviews rn.  Same for Johnson, there is nothing reported for them.. because they can't interview until next week anyways.

Seems totally feasible after the initial interview Macdonald could have politely told us no.

Now I do remember seeing this, thanks.

I feel like we aren't done with our HC pool.  Slowik has a Commander's interview tonight. Maybe he goes there and it continues our pursuit of Ben J

Our defense was hurt by the offense but they also benefited from our horrible offense. Teams always had leads, so they weren’t throwing the kitchen sink at us. When people say we were the 4th best defense, it’s misleading. We weren’t anywhere close to the real top defenses that let up 100+ points less than us even though opponents had garbage time galore trying to catch up.

I think Evero did a good job with the limited talent we have but we weren’t a top 5 D. We had the 2nd worst net points in the league. Washington was -189 and we were -180 and there was a large gap to 3rd worst at -141. Heck, there were only 4 other teams at -100+. That net points difference is why teams absolutely took the pedal off the gas and ran more against us. We also knew they would be running more once they gained leads. Our D was decent and was way better than our horrific offense.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
