  I am voting for Evero, with a prayer that he can find an OC that can do something.   I just like the guy.  He made sour mash out of oats this year on Defense.  

I feel like Evero is the floor as far as how far down the list the team will have to go. I don't think he will be option A, B, or even C.

I would be interested to know who he'd propose bringing in as OC.

In an effort to get a realistic field of head coaching candidates I did a bit of research and projecting.

1) First, I listed all the reported candidates as well as a few of the bigger names (Belichick, Harbaugh, Vrabel) and organized them by type of hire.

2) Next, I went through and projected the HC for the teams in need based upon current rumors and other connecting-of-the-dots.

3) Finally, I eliminated candidates that seemed to be getting courtesy interviews (Internal and Rooney Rule candidates).

Here is the initial list:

Former Head Coaches

  • former Patriots HC, Bill Belichick -> Predicting as Falcons HC
  • current Michigan HC, Jim Harbaugh -> Predicting as Chargers HC
  • Cowboys DC, Dan Quinn -> Predicting as Seahawks HC
  • former Titans HC, Mike Vrabel

Offensive Minds

  • Bengals OC, Brian Callahan
  • Buccaneers OC, Dave Canales
  • Lions OC, Ben Johnson -> Predicting as Washington HC
  • Eagles OC, Brian Johnson (satisfies Rooney Rule)
  • Ravens OC, Todd Monken
  • Texans OC, Bobby Slowik -> Predicting as Titans HC
  • Dolphins OC, Frank Smith

Defensive Minds

  • Panthers DC, Ejiro Evero
  • Ravens DC, Mike Macdonald
  • Rams DC, Raheem Morris (satisfies Rooney Rule)

Internal Candidates

  • Panthers Interim HC, Chris Tabor

 

The remaining candidates are shown in the poll. Which would you most want as the next Panthers Head Coach?

Ravens DC MacDonald

I am also intrigued by Macdonald, but then I wonder if that was the path why not just promote Ejiro. Are they really that different of candidates?

I understand we had problems in the Back end this year due to injuries, but I just don't think he is ready to he a HC. We need to see this team get settled under a good DC before they are shipped off. Let's see how he does for 2 years in establishing this team as a 34 defense before thinking he is a head coach. Heck Tepper might not even keep this one for a year either.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
