No, no, no. You do that AFTER hiring a head coach. You know, the way all successful franchises do!

I agree if Canales goes Morgan has to also, they should be considered a package deal. Let the new GM pick his coach by himself!

great write up OP but this confirms but my suspicions that there are a TON of names on that list that either don't excite me or straight up terrify me

Of all the options listed. Flores, Minter and maybe maybe Morton get me excited

we've tried the college HC, we've tried the retread HC, we've tried the upcoming offensive mind. All of these can work but we've simply picked three bad options

What we haven't tried is a culture setting CEO type like Dan Campbell. I believe Brian Flores can be that. He will need a good staff around him on offense but at minimum guys will play hard for him. 

The best success we've had under tepper was with Wilks, it wasn't always pretty but guys played hard and we were competitive. The same can not be said for any other stretch under him

The other option is to be patient and wait and see if a good HC gets canned from his current team. No way Minnesota fires KOC but let's say they have ANOTHER bad season next year. Maybe we could trade for him. I doubt it but at this point I really want someone with a proven track record of success.

To be fair we had the culture setter and Tepper meddled and made him run a defense that wasn't his mo then fired him when it didn't work. Then had another one as an interim and let him walk when he didn't like the plan of giving up the farm to draft a QB and preferred sticking with darnold

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
