so what exactly do you have against college coaches other than Steve spurrier? Saban wasn't even that bad and peterinos just an idiot

They rarely succeed in the NFL.

Carroll had 15 years of NFL experience before Seattle. He also ran a real offense at USC.

Harbaugh has just working his way to the NFL, everyone knew that's where he would wind up, he also ran a pro offense.

Schiano is half way thru his first season, too early to judge.

The real question, can NFL coaches, coach in the PAC?

He's doing good on the recruiting end. Next year will be telling if UCLA is going in the right direction.

The good news is it should be perfect timing if Cam flakes out to grab Hundley in 2016 (JOKE)

Personally I don't care where they come from if the can get the job done, I'm just very skeptical about college coaches using us as their test run. If they've coached in the NFL before I feel better about it, but to me Kelly looks to be the proto-typical college coach who runs a gimmick offense that just won't succeed at the NFL level.

Recently jumped on the Kelly bandwagon (watched the last Oregon game and realized that the jet sweeps and read options are really the only differences between his offense and an NFL offense). He runs a lot of really basic plays that you'd see in ANY offense that has a shotgun package. Also some singleback.

Look at it this way. Cam's playcalling at Auburn is VERY similar to what Kelly does now. Just saying, is all. Cam could pick that poo up quick. And I think Kelly would allow him to actually use ALL of his abilities rather than just one or the other. Also, our runningbacks would FINALLY get a fuging workout on game days.

Solid post. People will slowly realize he's the perfect fit.

Oh, and speed-lovers....guys like Joe Adams, Gettis, Smitty, Armanti, Pilares, Williams, Stew, Cam.....they would have the ball in their hands often and on any given play. And the utilization of a TE in Kelly's system is BIG (Colt Lyeria, the Ducks TE, has 17 catches for 266 yards with a 48 yard long and 6 TDs. 3rd leading receiver on the team right now...and that's with rotating in 3 or 4 OTHER TEs throughout the season)...and we have one of the best receiving TEs in the league.

Just saying....

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
