If Shula is OC, I vote Chris Weinke for QB coach

Weinke is only the head of the Football department at IMG, which has only been in existence since 2010, whereas IMG itself has been there since 1978.

It's not like he owns the company or anything.

He stands to make a shitton more money in the NFL coaching architecture than he does running a 5 week football camp for IMG.

How much more money? Let's get some real numbers in here. Right now he has a heck of a lot more security and a heck of a lot less responsibility than an actual NFL coach.

Not that he didn't already make a shitton of money riding the bench in the NFL

He runs a 5 week football camp, and does some private coaching on the side. Ohhhhh and they announced they are going to coach a high school Football team at IMG this year.

Yeah man, he totally has more responsibility than an NFL coach. GTFOH

Edit: I missread what you typed about responsibility. Sorry.

Security yes, but depending on the salary, he could make in a few years what it would take him a decade to make at IMG. So what's really more security?

I doubt that you can find out how much he makes at IMG. Assistants and position coaches in the NFL average around $250K - $350K. Some receive much more (think Sean Payton as QB coach and Asst HC in Dallas), and some of the less experienced receive closer to $150K or $200K.

Presumably Weinke wouldn't see much of a bump in salary to start with, but if he wanted to get into coaching where he might move up the ranks quickly to an OC, then he could be enticed by future earning potential.

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
