I love how some folks use the term “retread” whenever it’s suitable to their interests.  Please define the term for me so I’m more clear.

Bill Belichick - retread?

Jim Harbaugh - retread?

Andy Reid was a retread, correct?

Pete Carroll?

Doug Peterson?

Bruce Arians?

Mike McCarthy?

Bill Parcells?

Sean Payton?

So basically someone with previous head coaching experience that once got fired is a “retread”?  

(That’s a lot of Super Bowl champion “retreads” listed above, FYI)

Pretty well established and widely-accepted that retread is used as a slight pejorative towards a middling, replacement-level type of coach whose teams don't tend to stnad out over time. I can't comment about every usage you're thinking of but no, those guys you list would not be retreads. I'd argue that Quinn is a bit above that level (and Pederson above that) but still not someone that would be near the top of my list for a new coach.

Sorry but all of those listed were retreads at the time.  

Andy Reid was fired by the Eagles in 2013 (replaced by Chip Kelly lol) and then hired by the Chiefs (replacing Romeo Crennel lol).

You are incorrect, but as I clearly explained the definition and my position I honestly don't care enough to discuss it futher. If you can't/won't the distinction between the names on your list and guys like Frank Reich then that's on your side. That's not to say that someone like Belichick has anything left in the coaching tank if he goes somewhere else, but that class of coach gets the benefit of the doubt. Everything comes to an end at some point.

The Panthers might be making a mistake by assuming an OC is the best choice because our offense is so bad.  First of all, with Fox and even Rivera, we had good offenses and stout defenses.  Is Bryce going to win shoot outs or should be keep him in games by giving him short fields and turnovers?  A defensive coach knows more about offenses that an offensive coach in theory because he must plan vs. different kinds of offenses every week.  An offensive coordinator knows one offense well, and his challenge is to attack where he thinks the defense might be vulnerable.  I am not sure that a defensive head coach and offensive coordinator are not the best combination for the overall offense because the defensive head coach can challenge the offensive coach during meetings and film sessions.  He can reveal where the defense is vulnerable....Not sure about this, but an offensive coach and an offensive coordinator may not be able to see behind the curtain as well.   Just a theory and I have not thought a lot about it, but I have coached and remember the exchanges during film sessions.

I don’t see my guy on there….I want Vrabel

But does Vrabel want Carolina?

He just started interviewing so it's possible there is still time to figure that out.

I think it's pretty clear there isn't mutual interest with Belichick or Harbaugh since they are both taking second interviews at this point.

Yeah I agree almost no chance he will come here but I am hoping

voted Raheem Morris. I think he's kind of the safest bet because he's already had some success as a head coach, then a bit of a unique situation and he lost his gig. he's had a bunch of years to think about what he can do better, and he's still relatively young. everyone speaks highly of him (have for years now), and he can get players' respect. as good a starting point as any. and I imagine he has good contacts throughout the league to build a formidable staff (that will succeed as one, unlike others we could mention).

I want Ben Johnson

 

But I'll gladly settle on Frank Smith because I thing he's more realistic

20 years of coaching 

Coached almost every position group

Worked with several winning organizations(Mcvay/Shanahan/McDaniels tree)

Extensive history of coaching O-line (big plus for me)

Part of a NFL record setting offense

Well liked by players and coaches across the league

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make it happen Nicole!!!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
