Do you want a Dan Campbell (leader of men) or Mike McDaniel (idiot savant) style of coach?

You have to have a leader of men if your roster sucks. That’s where the Panthers are. 

Our roster sucks but to be fair its a blank slate to be built in to what a coach wants because no one on the offense especially is irreplaceable.

Our identity, when it has been at its best, has come when we were just punch you in the face tough and I think that's the identity we miss the most.

The idiot savant is what is shiny at the moment, but we need someone who will get the players to fight when its all falling down around you.

We're at the bottom and we're going to have to fight to climb out. Give me the guy who will instil that.

We need someone to bring back a culture and an attitude.  We have nothing right now. I wanted Pierce but looks like Vegas is going to do the right thing and keep him. I suppose I'd settle for Vrabel at this point. 

Vrable would not hurt my feelings at all

Long term, the offensive savant

Right now, the leader of men

Dan Campbell was never meant to be the Lions long term solution.  I live in Michigan and all my Lions friends loved the hire but admitted that he likely would only be there for a few years, they viewed him as someone to come in and just right the ship for a franchise lost at sea and get it moving in the right direction for the next and hopefully long term coach.

Turns out that he's done even better than that, but it's what we need right now.

We just need to get a culture in the locker room and get this franchise moving in the right direction.  And since I don't think Bryce is the long term solution either, I'm less concerned about fixing him than I am just getting a sense of normalcy and fight back in the locker room.

You would "settle" for Vrabel?

He might be my #1 choice, the guy can coach.

Only one that I think I'd rank above him of likely candidates would be Ben Johnson, and only coach I'd absolutely rank over him would be Tomlin if the Steelers are stupid and decide to not sign him long term and decide to mutually part ways (which I can't see happening anyways).

This question makes about as much sense as asking if you want a RB awesome running over people up the middle but awful at receiving and making guys miss. Or a vice versa. This might be true in the 5th round but in the 1st you can have both. 

Yes, Campbell is a 10 in leader of men, but he is also an 8 in idiot savant.

    • Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.
    • Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy
    • Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
