Yikes. Yeah, not sure why he signed up for that after taking Washington to the national championship game.

It's the same concern I'd have going to the Seahawks with Carroll evidently staying with the organization a different role. That's gonna make for a weird dynamic.

Cos his Washington recruiting class is like #38 and they're returning 4 starters - dude is walking away when his stock is highest. That Huskies team is going to crater.

This season would've given them a huge recruiting boost and made them a prime time destination for portal kids. Saban's shadow was gonna loom huge over whoever took that job without him literally being there staring over their shoulder. I just don't see how that's gonna work at all.

Regarding the Alabama job, somebody has to be the guy after the guy. Never an easy spot to be in though.

Seems someone on staff is a reasonable route. Then when it doesn't work out it's easy to move on and it's super appealing again to outsiders

ENSD is early December - most of the best players are signed up before the National Championship is played.

He's clearly not a very good recruiter.

Saturdaydownsouth.com spilled a bunch of digital ink on how it would/should/could be Lane Kiffin. I guess there wasn't anyone real worthy on staff since those that might have been qualified already moved on to other programs.

Im nothing like them. Im the ultra rare type of doing what I say. I mean Ive stopped following the NFL as a whole. Im 100% panther fan, just happen to keep up with NFL with the bit and pieces I get following panthers. Well, given my spending, i truly dont matter to the NFL....

Sorry I wasn’t lumping u in with those morons. I’m just saying people are addicted to the NFL.  It is a force.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
