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

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
