  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.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By strato · Posted

      That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
