Tidbits from Joe Person in The Athletic

[Khyber53]

Just kinda glad to not hear that we're rushing into anything.

[RockyTopVol]

Guys, we're not getting Ben Johnson. 

Canales is probably the best candidate that might actually be gettable for the Panthers right now. Maybe Evero.

Kellen Moore

2-15

lets go

Yea a lot is put into these “good coaches wouldn’t want to come here” narratives but in the end money talks, as well as ego. Would be a helluva feather in the cap to turn this franchise and QB around. I don’t think anyone is turning their nose up at Carolina, and a report from one of the main “insiders”, I forget which, said as much a few weeks ago.

Tepper is wasting a lot of time and energy on Ben Johnson in what world does the best HC candidate take the worst available job???

Haven't even interviewed him yet so not much time at all

Totally agree Ben Johnson has better options and as his first head coaching gig he would be very shortsighted to take this job.

I like Mike Vrabel personally but he is also too smart to come here

not sold on Ben Johnson.  He has a good QB.

[Ghostofdelhomme]

Kliff Kingsbury is somewhere down there in the bottom of the barrel and we’re gonna like it

I do think Tepper's recent history, the lack of a first round pick, and likely having to deal with a bust at QB for one year is weighing us down, but the money Tepper is willing to spend can be attractive.  If he can guarantee coaches he's going to do things differently this year with how he interacts with the staff then I think this job could be more attractive than it seems, especially for some guys that may have a local connection, etc.

Plus even being least attractive is still quite attractive.

Hitching your career to Tepper as a young(ish) coach is just a bad idea. Sure you can get a payday now, but likely your career is going to get flushed down the sewer and you're going to lose any real future opportunities in the league. We're going to end up with a coach that no one else wants looking for a retirement check before leaving the league for good. Tepper is a cancer that even his money can't fix.

Anyone that we should want as our coach would have to demand some assurance that the Teppers (wife included) are not involved in decisions on personnel.

If they don’t demand that, I don’t believe they can turn this around
