Everybody calm down about the Coaching decision/search

[Cary Kollins]

According to former Packers VP, we are not at any disadvantage.

"...former Green Bay Packers vice president Andrew Brandt said the Panthers are not behind on the coaching-hire time line if they make a switch.

“In terms of taking their time, it’s hard for me to believe that waiting a few days is going to put anyone at a disadvantage,” said Brandt, now a sports business analyst for ESPN. “You don’t need a coach until sometime in the spring when you actually have players to coach. But I know everyone wants to jump in and go after the candidates they think are the best.”

That's not entirely true though

Draft time in April, at-least be in here by March to evaluate what we already have and what we need

[Jackofalltrades]

Old news.

That logic makes zero sense. You might not technically need a coach until the Spring, but all of the top coaches will be locked up very very soon. This is why most coaches are fired on Monday.

While that is true the urgency is who is available. You don't need a coach but you do need to be looking for a coach while they're available.

It's not time to freak out right now but we also dont have until the draft to make the decision.

I agree with him in principle. We don't NEED a coach right this minute. However procrastinating on acquiring a GM could be a detriment to scouting draft picks and available free agents and restructuring our cap situation.

With that said I'm still not worried about any of the above. The Panthers will be steadfast in their approach and will hire the man(men) they see fit.

It's just painful for fans to sit idly by and wait for that proverbial shoe to drop.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Can't speak for everyone but I happen to love the chaos and hysteria. There is a lot of time to fill between now and training camp and there are only so many threads you can have about the draft, cap, lack of FA signings and how much Hurney/Jerry/ insert name sucks.

So bring on the maniacal insanity.

The Huddle?

Calm?

Down?

Good joke.
