I honestly don’t look at these. Ones we’ve had the highest rankings on have turned out to be busts. Also, these talking heads don’t take the time to analyze the systems they’re going into. For once, it seemed like we had a plan as each have the same characteristics: tough, high IQ, football junkies, etc. Overall, I’m happy.

This definitely fits the Dan Morgan profile.

These uniform tweaks are horrible. I’ll gladly keep what I’ve got.

Luvu is the only guy I hate losing. The rest I am okay with. This was not something that was going to be a quick turnaround. I’m not going to judge until the end of the offseason. Realistically, I can’t judge until 2-3 years down the road.

We were never getting a first this year for Burns. He wanted to be paid and was coming off a mediocre year.

Coordinators official! https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-retain-evero-announce-idzik-and-smith-to-fill-out-staff

York used to be the definition of meddling owner, so there’s hope. Plus, you can’t tell me he’s not a little bitter. His comments speak for themselves regardless of the accuracy.

Izzo could be a good hire.

Makes sense, just thought it would have been an easy one due to Idzik’s relationship with Canales.

Any reason why the OC hire hasn’t been announced yet?

I can definitely understand feeling burned! I would say I’m cautiously optimistic.

I wouldn’t take a militant stance, but I think it’s okay to deny until the conversation is had and intentions are stated. I hope he stays, however, if he doesn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t hold him hostage.

That’s fair and you’re right, there are not many on the roster that fit that description. It could have been Morgan’s thoughts on a few of the guys. He’s not been the final decision maker before. With that said, I believe it to be more motivational: this stuff will no longer be tolerated: shape up or ship out. The key will be whether the players are held accountable.

It absolutely is leadership. Leadership is admitting you made a mistake and putting in the steps to ensure it never happens again. It’s also a clear stage in repentance. Though, don’t worry I won’t go too far down that road.

He came across more pointed to me. He essentially called out the current players, saying, “the logo is not feared any longer.” He basically said, you’re soft and the league doesn’t respect you.

Curious what’s lead you to believe he’s in over his head? Not being overly critical, just curious as to what’s driving this thought for you.

I loved the staff we had. The Reich hire I thought was solid, nothing exciting. However, we know how it ended up. So I’ll reserve judgement!

I’d have Canales at 3 or 4. I don’t seem much distance between Mayo, Callahan, and Canales.

I can understand Evero here as he’s been passed over for the head job twice now. I’d love for him to stay, but if he leaves, I understand completely.

Canales will be calling plays this year. He called plays in TB because his head coach was a defensive guy. Of course plenty of OC’s call plays. However, most of those guys have head coaches from the defensive side of the ball.

WR, QB, and TE left on the offensive side of the ball?

With the Lions and Ravens losing. The remaining jobs should be filled this week, IMO.

Those making innuendos about jumping too soon before interviewing Johnson are being a little dramatic. I think it’s fair to say we already knew we were out of it.

Sweet mercy, I’m gonna have to watch the stupid panning to Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl!

My question is why do you feel it was rushed? We were not the first job to be filled. They obviously went through a process and selected someone they like. I understand it may be your interpretation with guys still on the board but communications I’m sure we’re going on behind the scenes. Plus, maybe they liked him more than anyone left. Is it right? Who knows? All coaching searches are crapshoots. I’m just curious as to what led you to the “rushed” statement.
