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.

    • The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46
    • Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.   
    • That better not be the case. They need to be ready week 1. The easiest part if their schedule is the first few fames
