Everybody calm down about the Coaching decision/search

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.”

“You don’t need a coach until sometime in the spring when you actually have players to coach."

This should be stickied.

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

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.

    • I honestly wish Julius Peppers had gotten sick of some of Steve's bullshit and put him on his ass. Because I honestly think that was the one guy Steve wanted no part of. 
    • Just worry about it next year.  Its that simple honestly.  its way to early to do what ifs.  I could see us trade/cut chuba and retain dowdle, I could see them let dowdle walk and go with Chuba/Etienne and Brooks, and I could see Dowdle and Chuba both stay and see what happens.  Hell, we still have 6 games left THIS season plus possible post-season...what if Rico or Chuba have an ACL tear or severe injury.  I DO NOT want that to happen, but stuff like that does happen.  Remember RB is the most injury prone position in the NFL due to the beating their bodies take so having some extra guys is never bad, just wish it hadn't come at the cost we paid to get him.
    • I think it’s cool that no one can be really certain what the outcome will be.  That’s a lot of progress! This is a real opportunity for us, I’d be happy with a competitive game and thrilled if we sack up for a W.
