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!!!

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
