Paul Silas has earned an extension from the team that will keep him under contract as coach for the 2011-2012 season. I have always liked him as a coach when he was coaching the Hornets to the playoffs. He relates to the players very well. Like this move.

The Charlotte Bobcats are finalizing a one-year contract extension with Paul Silas that will keep him as coach through the 2011-12 season, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

After replacing Larry Brown on Dec. 22, Silas has gone 15-12 as Bobcats coach and beaten the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers in the past week. The Bobcats are 24-31 overall and 1½ games behind the surging Indiana Pacers for the eighth playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.

It's official:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte Bobcats have removed the interim tag from coach Paul Silas, giving him a one-year extension that will keep him with the team at least through the 2011-12 season.

Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins announced the move in a news conference on Wednesday.

Silas took over for the fired Larry Brown on Dec. 22, inheriting a 9-19 team that was in disarray. Guard Stephen Jackson said a change was needed because "nobody wanted to play" for Brown.

The 67-year-old Silas has led the Bobcats to a 15-13 mark since. They're 1½ games behind Indiana for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Silas had been out of the NBA for five years and survived a health scare two years ago that left him with life-threatening blood clots.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
