Hell yes! All we now is a center, a couple of guards, a LT, a QB, a couple of WRs, a TE, a RB, a DE, a CB or two, a LB and we're set!

Who would you have preferred be the hire? In any case, will be interesting to track how the first time HCs do this upcoming season. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Cool. I hope he does great. Honestly that's about all I have to offer on it. We'll see how it goes.

Dude, we were going to stink next year REGARDLESS of who we hired.

Harbaugh and Vrabel aren't coming in with this roster and no first round pick and turning it around immediately.

[Captain Morgan]

one good think he may be able to bring from Tampa...Mike Evans.  He's a free agent next year and the Bucs have said they want to bring him back, although they make not be able to do that because of cap space.

The FA receivers offer very few options...Evans is one of the best available.  My thoughts are to sign one, draft one to go with Thielen.  And though we can wave a bunch of cash at him, I thought he wouldn't be interested in the Panthers.

Now maby he is..

 

[Mr. Scot]

It could turn out to be good, but I definitely have concerns...

- one year coordinator

- nobody else was pursuing him for a second interview that I saw

- would have only had to wait 3 days to interview one of the championship guys

- makes it seem like an impatient / panic / bidding against ourselves move

As always, I hope it works. In this case, I'm not so much down on the candidate as I am how the hiring process played out.

prob not the right things to focus on rn, but i do want to know, do we get any sort of draft capital for hiring a Rooney rule candidate?

His offense also just orchestrated an average of 27.5ppg across two playoff games??

You can cherry pick and manipulate stats to gas light yourself all you want. 
 

it’s another lackluster, disappointing hire. You will accept this eventually.

This shows Dan Morgan might actually have a voice, given Tepper wanted Johnson. 

I think it probably shows one or more of the following

Bryce young didnt sell very well

Candidates were weary of tepper

 

Because it makes no sense to rush this and it is telling that nobody else even gave him an interview.  We likely were down quite far on the list.  He may work out and he looks good on paper but hiring now kindof raises some red flags about this franchise and tepper

[Kentucky Panther]

Have to give this guy a chance before spazzing out over it. This hire showed me two positive things:

- We still believe in Bryce and will do what we can coaching/roster wise to help him out. 
- Tepper isn’t making as many of the calls as some think. Morgan was just praised by Cowherd for being a really smart football guy. He knew Canales from Seattle, and obviously liked his work with two retread QBs. 
 

People have to understand we were by far the least attractive destination for any candidate in this cycle. With what we are working with, It could have been a lot worse. 
 

Let’s see what Dave is made of. 

[AceBoogie]

God awful fire. Worse than the Matt Rhule hire. Not qualified for the job at all. Bottom half of the league offense and dead last in rushing in his only year as a coordinator. 
 

Much more qualified candidates including our last two defensive coordinators. What a punch in the face. 

[fanpanther]

Really good hire although kinda sad after working with Bryce Young he will go from offensive genius to everyone saying his offense is holding young back lol
