He most certainly was not "straight garbage" in Indy.  He was a meh coach and btw he was dealing with another lunatic meddling owner.  And if we are being honest, we would kill for his results in Indy at this point.  I would say all things considered he did perfectly fine.

He didn't have a QB in Indy when lucky abruptly retired. Then Luck, who is the General Manager at Stanford, hires Frank to bring him in there. That says enough to me about Franks character to know the characterizations of his time here are more or less wrong, and that the blame resides with where it has always resided, and that's with Meddlin' Tepper.

He's like the Scoobie Doo gang. Constantly meddling and ruining the desire of the team to win.

Frank is a man of integrity. What you describe is not only unethical but anti-thetical to the person that everyone who has been around Frank says about him.

The offense was bad. Period. The team, I think, was disappointed that Wilkes wasn't retained and that the team didn't build off of the backend of 2022, instead opting for a full rebuild, again. 

How is it unethical?  He didn't hold a gun to David Tepper's head for that contract. Once we drafted a QB that didn't fit his offense or fit his preferences it was all cooked. I have no idea if he was told something that reasonably made him expect he'd have more say in the QB decision or I'd he simply thought he'd be able to be more persuasive through the process but there seemed to be a noticeable shift in his energy and engagement once we honed in on Bryce and I don't think that went unnoticed by Tepper leading to the quick dismissal once everything headed south.

And Charles Johnson is potentially the most overhyped, over paid Panthers player in franchise history. So I guess they are even. 

Hmm. Can we pause a moment here?

Let me get this straight.........

You'll go out of your way to literally spam poo reactions over someone accurately describing Andy Dalton for what he currently is as a QB no matter how nice of a guy and how much we like him. But then you'll go completely out of your way to randomly trash Charles Johnson who has actually helped this franchise win games? The clownery is simply astounding.

Hopefully there was a behind-the-scenes chat with Dan/Dave/Tep to say "let football people football" - which appears to correlate to the perception that Tep has been more hands-off in their world vs where he was earlier

It may not be much, but if there is a cause-effect then we could give sincere/honest thanks to Frank for his contribution to that improvement

I often wonder what the can of worms would be if we drafted Stroud. Could see a reality where Stroud was good enough to carry us to 8-9 win seasons and we are going into year 3 with him and Reich. I think we would have been in the absolute dead zone of of 6 win floor and 10 win ceiling with those two together.

yeah Charles Johnson is a Panther leggy, he was VERY good until that scumbag Pats player Leg whipped him on MNF in 2013. He Deserves to be in our Ring of Honor imo

Wow I had not thought about that bs moment in a long time. Can't believe that was twelve years ago!

Yessir he's second only to Julius Peppers in franchise history sacks. He deserves to be honored. Hopefully that is not far off.

Yeah I remember it too and its hard to believe it was that long ago.  Did they call on penalty on that guy?  I don't remember.

He was fined later on. But no flag because of course. Fug the Patriots.

Hope the money lasts, he'll never be a HC again, he has proven who he is at 2 stops. 

What a way to go out, now 2 fanbases hate you. Dude is a shyster. 

He's literally a head coach at this very moment. It's the reason he was being interviewed at ACC media day and is being paid very well to do it. Do you make 4 million dollars a year?

    • This is the picture I tried to attach on the initial post of my panthers wall.
    • If you weren't aware, we picked up another waived CB from the waiver wire, basically swapping M.J. Devonshire for Mello Dotson. Yeah it's not overly exciting stuff, but I'm just chilling. Anyway, I noticed Dotson on a PFF draft list that ranked the best remaining after day two was complete. He wasn't the only one though. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2025-nfl-draft-top-5-remaining-players-at-every-position-after-day-2 3. Mello Dotson, Kansas Dotson is a steady, experienced cornerback with an adequate build for the position. His lack of true stickiness in coverage may limit him to more of a rotational or spot-starting role, but he has a place in the league, especially for teams that play more press and man coverage. 3. Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans doesn't have the rare movement skills to set him apart as a potential top-60 pick in the NFL, but his floor is balanced and high as a TE3 with the potential to move into a contributing TE2 role due to reliable blocking and hands through contact. 5. Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson's massive 6-foot-6 and 328-pound frame is designed to clog the A-gaps and free up linebackers to make tackles. He's earned at least a 76.0 run-defense grade across the past three seasons. Teams in search of a late-round run stopper should be interested in Jackson, even if he is likely to be just an early-down player. 1. Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Toughness and tenacity are Ransom's calling cards, which he makes good use of in all facets of the game. While he may lack the tools some other prospects have, he has the instincts and awareness to make up for it. I just found it interesting, is all. Some want to downplay PFF, and in many ways, it should be taken with a grain of salt. But I've always said that it's a tool, and obviously it's very much in the minds of the Panthers now that Eric Eager is part of the the franchise, and the importance of PFF's analyses extends beyond the first and second rounds. It goes deep, all the way through---thorough!
    • I agree, I remember freaking out the first preseason game against the Jets in Bryce's rookie year when our Offensive Line looked like swiss cheese.  It was a bad omen
