...we need to basically hire a coach that is out of the norm for Richardson's past hires...

We need someone that isn't afraid to take control of a press conference... We need a coach that isn't going to tolerate crappy performances and play favorites with more experienced players...

Think about it... Dom Capers, George Siefert, and John Fox... Basically all carry the personality of field mouse, in that they are quiet, reserved, and offer nothing of real insight and drive as far as motivation goes... Sure, Foxy showed some promise early on, but it fizzled out about the same time as Jake Delhomme did...

If it isn't obvious to anyone at this point that clapping your hands and chewing some gum while basically not lighting a fire under anyone's ass is counterproductive, then you need to find something else to do on Sundays...

I don't know who our next coach will be, but I hope it is someone that will yell when he has to, grab a facemask or two to get some attention and respect... bust some heads, while at the same time making players want to win, and make the most of their talents... no matter how little they have...

I don't care if he cusses like a sailor or gets irate at press conferences over stupid questions, I just want someone to light the fire... Sure, players can do that on their own from time to time, but they can also only try so much and, if they don't get any support from the higher-ups in an organization, then what is the motivation?

Richardson needs to bring in someone that has a fan's desire and passion for the organization, and a professional's ability to lead and make decisions without fear of failure... Again, I don't know who it will be, but I do know that that is exactly what our front office needs...

Agree to hire me as a general assistant and I'll campaign for you ;)

That said more than an in your face type I want someone who will construct as good a staff as humanly possible to develop our young team.

A Tony Dungy type or a Cowher type doesn't matter to me, it's about the result they get with their method instead of the method itself.

I think your assesment is way off. Just because he keeps the media in the dark doesn't mean he's that reserved with the players. I think he does a bad job of keeping the players consistently motivated due to the lack of back to back winning seasons, not because of his demeanor with the press. That's an awful gauge of someone's coaching performance.

I had a small convo one time with the guy that worked the headsets and he said Fox is a maniac like most coaches.

I understand where you're coming from but I just want something new in this organization. It doesn't have to be someone that loves attention. I want someone that will put a fire under the organization, that will start rookies or young guys if they're better then a 5 years starter. Fresh air is what the franchise needs and I think that Richardson will keep his word in that he will spend the money to make this a winning organization again.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      The defense has pulled that feat off this season though.  Multiple times. offense has not had a single good first half all season.  Only and good opening scripted drive paired with disappointing play.  defense has been the actual unit you can measure real and consistent improvement IMO.  Still holes and flaws to it that aren’t going away until new bodies get here but they really are the story of the season IMO

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      One thing about RB's and LB's is they are going to get hurt. It's inevitable. Having a fresh Chuba is not a bad thing.  My only criticism of this entire situation is that I wish our staff would adjust personnel to matchup a little better. I think Chuba is a lot better than Rico against the stacked boxes we've seen the last two weeks. They are very different backs with very different strengths, and I love them both. Rico is so good at identifying the hole early, and hitting it full speed early. He's much better at breaking the big run. Chuba is a much more patient back, and finds 3 yards when there's nothing there better than Rico.  It's in no way a criticism of either, but I think Chuba would have had more success than Rico the way the Saints and Falcons attacked us from a Defensive standpoint.  When you put 9 in the box, often times there is no hole to attack.
