The Giants, Dolphins and Jaguars requested interviews for their DC position. We blocked Eviro from interviewing with them. I don’t know how else to explain that to you. 

I understand your preference for one party over the other is shaping your language. The only way he can interview for DC positions is if the Panthers agree to ignore or breach the contracts and rules. Those are already in place. It would be more accurate to say he blocked himself by signing his contract. You want to present it as if the Panthers/Tepper are taking some sort of action to prevent Evero from interviewing. They are not. He is not allowed to interview per NFL rules and because of the contract he himself signed. The team doesn’t have to do anything to prevent him from interviewing. They are simply honoring the contract and the NFL rules.

Teams commonly allow coaches to interview for lateral moves. We apparently aren’t one of those teams. We’re paying Eviro $3 million and you’re right, he accepted the bag. I don’t want coaches that don’t want to be here. At least we’ll get a third round compensatory pick for him after next season assuming he gets hired as a HC elsewhere.

Nothing is written in stone.  E is obviously an up and coming coach but after this past year I would not be surprised if he wants to jump ship. I'd like to keep him and keep Luvu and Brown long term. Sticking with the 3-4 and adding pieces to that. Luvu should be a pass rushing edge style linebacker instead of the inside he was forced into by injuries. Brown as a DE beside a legit NT also would be interesting. So NT and a DE that fits a 3-4 would be targets.  I would not be opposed to going to a 4-3 if we lose Envero, Luvu and Burns in the off season actually.  I don't know what coach would be available. If we switch defensive schemes (again) then the draft strategy switches to adding a MLB, a pass rushing DT beside Brown and a pass rusher at DE to replace Burns.  I'd rather stay the course with E but...

Only think I find funny in all this is how many people are okay with forcing someone to be where they don't want to be when they wouldn't do the same in their own work place

This isn't Waffle House. The man signed a contract. When the contracts up he can negotiate for another one.

Also - loads of regular folks sign NDAs and noncompetes, those aren't a joke either.

I wouldn’t take a militant stance, but I think it’s okay to deny until the conversation is had and intentions are stated. I hope he stays, however, if he doesn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t hold him hostage.

In the past I would have agreed. Unfortunately, the league has incentivized the opposite. The Panthers would be giving up a draft pick to let him move laterally, if they believe he could get a HC job next cycle. If these teams aren’t starting the conversation with trading a draft pick for him, Tepper should absolutely tell them to kick rocks. We should not be bending over backwards to allow other teams to poach our coaches with no compensation.

And like I said previously, if Evero is a professional and a leader it will have no effect on his performance. It’s honestly such a weird culture that people think the idea of working somewhere you don’t want to for a year is this crazy thing. People do great jobs all the time in positions they don’t want. And if Evero wants out badly enough, there are absolutely terms in his contract for breach and he can accept whatever those consequences are and breach his contract. Just like the team is accepting the consequences of paying 3 head coaches right now for breaching the past 2 contracts.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
