That list certainly reeks of serious recency bias.

yeah they need to specify that it's the modern era. in the 50s you'd have owners fire the coaches and run things themselves not infrequently.

that said it's pretty hard to argue against urban. Every moment of his coaching tenure was hysterical. im sure its exaggerated i still laugh when I think about him asking if they could just also get kyle pitts in the draft and was completely sincere about the question.

Rhule lost to Joe Judge and had a worse overall record coaching than Both him and Patricia:

  • Rhule -.289
  • Judge - .303
  • Patricia - .314

Not to mention the 7 year contract which makes it 10x worse

LoL you all are just looking at records & fail to realize or mention in 2001 draft George Seifert drafted Dan Morgan in the 1st round & Kris Jenkins in the 2nd round & Steve Smith Sr. in the 3rd round ...just saying

we actually don't know who drafted who. the panthers had a weird FO structure 2001 between Hurney, Jack Bushofsky, Mark Richardson, and Seifert. Hurney was the Director of Football Operations. They didn't have anyone with the title of General Manager. Bushofsky retired after 2003, Seifert was fired and Richardson...well.

At the time Jenkins was considered a reach and didn't really do much during his rookie year. He could barely stay on the field. Everyone thought he was just fat, but it turned out he actually had undiagnosed sleep apnea. He got a cpap after his rookie year and then was maybe the best defender in the NFL for two years before he started blowing out his knees. Also how can you forget Panthers legend Chris Weinke who was also in that 2001 draft. Panthers were undefeated in 2001 before 9/11, just saying. 

Anyway, we'll never know for sure who made what decision and how the power was distributed. Based on how things shook out over the next couple seasons, I'd suspect Hurney had more of a say than anyone else in that draft. He earned a lot of goodwill with that Super Bowl and a LOT of rope with Richardson.

Seifert had a good 1st year rebuild and had a decent 2nd season with all the injuries and internal coaching drama. 2001 was an implosion from the injuries, coaching drama and the Jeff Lewis investment.

Imagine Patrick Jeffers, Muhsin Muhammad, Steve Smith, Wesley Walls, Tim Biakabatuka and William Floyd if they were to stay healthy with a solid QB. Dameyune Craig was the best option at QB in 2001, but he was before his time.

Seifert was competitive even during his 1-15 season like 7 games or something was decided by 6 pts or less. Our offense in 1999 was one of the best we have ever had. 

Reich wasn’t a great hire, but was at the mercy of Bryce last year. Chances are with Andy, Reich was 3-8 or 4-7 not 1-10. 
 

Rhule’s first season helped him off the list. We weren’t as bad as we are now that year and a lost a few close games. Whatever he was building, plummeted in 2021.
 

I miss 2020. We played the 1 seeds in both conferences and had a chance to win both games. We are so far from that now. Heck, 3-4 games into 2021 and this forum was discussing the potential seeding and playoff bye weeks. We threw the playoffs out the door on Young’s first pass, lol.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
