Coach Bates talks about the Panthers season

Assistant special teams coach Darren Bates returned to his podcast, Raw Room, and spent ~15min early in the episode reviewing the Panthers' season. Panthers' portion starts at the timestamp.

For folks that have problems with XL's accent (or accents in general), put on closed captions because DB's Memphis accent is probably going to beat the dog poo out of you. 💀

Love coach Bates, I actually watched RR before he was a coach for us too. Love his energy, and you see him on the sideline every game chirping guys up. He's got that dawg energy!

This team did not quit. That tells me everything I need to know about Canales. We got our guy at HC and QB, lets get it! 

 

Even if Bryce isnt "the guy" he is playing well enough now to be at least a placeholder until we are ready to compete. 

Lets see him put a full season of good ball together before claiming him to be the guy.

Thats fine he played well enough to get another season, I hope he keeps it up because that is better for us.

Agreed, and I think that really comes with alignment of vision for the team too. It's been spoken ad nausium, but when we tried last year to blank check the best coaches available at their position, regardless of their relationship or fit philosophy-wise with Reich, and it was a train wreck. Not defending Reich, but I bet if he got to pick his coaches, it might have worked out better cuz you can't keep changing things mid-season and expect the team to be on board, especially with all the infighting and rats in the room sneaking off to Tepper. One voice, one vision where everyone is on the same page, even when we were down 1-7, they never gave up, and kept pounding the drum of Canales vision, and they eventually turned to page.

Here's hoping we keep this momentum into next season, I'm feeling glass half-full on it.

    • I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
    • Im wondering how long it will take me to turn the game off
