Charlotte/Panthers a good fit for him.

Ron Meeks was a great fit. Really wanted him to stay on staff, and did.

Felt very good about McDermott, has experience with him.

Chud for OC

Mike Shula QB coach, Pete Hanard (sp?) for TEs, Mastowhatever his name is for Oline

Feels like all of the position coaches on offense will help transition from old offense to this offense

Biggest challenge moving forward/how to evaluate offensive and defensive talent:

He's watched all games from last year. Young defensive talent, good good. Likes oline group. Points out just a few years ago 2 1,000 rushers. Likes all 3 running backs. Receivers are solid. Play maker in Smitty, Gettis and Lafell solid.

TE by committee, Barnidge is most athletic.

QBs- Is Matt Moore or Clausen going to be QB? We'll evaluate them and draft prospects to find out.

Good quality football players on D. Likes Beason, likes Hardy, CJ. Thinks Thomas Davis can come back and help. Likes both young safeties.

3 solid corners. Marshall and Gamble solid. Munnerlyn good nickle.

Best thing is that young guys got a lot of experience last year.

How feel about QBs in draft?

It's about what they have done on field. Have to be careful when looks at combine numbers, etc. Would rather watch how perform at senior bowl, etc. But have to remember they are learning new system in a week, so bad performances can basically be thrown out. Stresses looking at what they did on the field in college.

QB- Has to be good leader. Needs to take charge. Thinks new staff can help develop QBs, thinks Jimmy didnt have anyone help him to step up and be a leader. (Not all Jimmys fault last year?). This is team game, so cant put all blame on QB for bad year/performance

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
