Mr. Scot

Watch him rejoin Sean Payton in Denver

Damn

Saints firing Pete Carmichael...wow.

With Carroll out, don't know that there are any "full power / final say" coaches left. I know Tomlin is pretty powerful in Pittsburgh if he stays. Other than that...

Is flip-flop the Chargers and Raiders. New England I'm iffy on because you have to follow in the footsteps of Belichick and would have no say in the head coach since he's already hired. Also worth noting we're the only job in the group without a high (or any) first round pick.

Most rankings I've seen have the Commanders as the top available job

Is what he says about Tepper wrong, though? Also don't know that I'd characterize what happened with Rhule and Reich as "giving him two coaches".

Three guesses where we land Ranking the available GM jobs From the article... The Panthers dismissed Scott Fitterer after three seasons, but by now we all know what we are dealing with inside the walls of any building where owner David Tepper resides. The view from the outside is one of an impulsive and sometimes overbearing personality who might insert himself and his opinions into any decision and situation, even if not qualified. This is not just my opinion. Others have said that listening to people who might be more qualified than him isn’t exactly Tepper’s strong suit. He might be the kind of guy who would call Tom Landry or Don Shula on the phone … and then do all the talking. He seems so lacking in self-awareness. Because of his deep pockets, which brought him this team, he wakes up on third base in the football world each morning and thinks he hit a triple to get there. In a business where decisions are best when backed by lifetimes of perspective and experience, a self-proclaimed instant expert makes me nervous. However, the positives are there as well. Tepper provides unlimited financial support, which means the GM will always have the freedom to structure contracts to spend more cash than cap to keep quality players and ample depth on the roster. As a GM, this gives you a chance. If you can evaluate and value pieces of the team-building puzzle correctly — and keep Tepper’s insistence to give his opinions under control — you might be able to re-stock a roster that is devoid of talent. The Panthers have $37.3 million in available cap space for 2024, according to Over the Cap, which is better than most. They also have no first-round pick (they’re sending the No. 1 pick to the Bears as part of the Bryce Young acquisition) in the draft and are committed — because of the prior regime’s level of investment — to a quarterback whom some of us would struggle to build around. The negatives outweigh the positives.

Yeah, I was gonna say I don't think a Browns-Texans Super Bowl is a possibility (the Browns-Texans playoff game was pretty funny though)

Josina Anderson definitely isn't "local media".

For the Super Bowl?

I haven't heard much about who, other than Tepper, is taking part in the process. Dan Morgan perhaps on the coaching side, but that'd be pretty damn awkward for the GM interviews. If it's all being done by the search firm, I'm not sure how comfortable I am with that.

That's been my impression but I won't claim to have read up all that much on him yet...

The news a lot of folks have been waiting for...

Not really...What I'm against is the idea that you can easily quantify football analysis...or the kids even necessary to do so. It's one thing to take a look at a tackle and judge his knee bend. That's scouting. Now if you were to take a caliper and physically measure one guy's knee bend versus another, then declare that the second guy is better because his is a degree and a half deeper, that's analytics Tools like that work a lot better in a more stat driven individual sport like baseball. In a more physical sport where teamwork, cohesion and chemistry play a larger role like football, not so much.

Oh, the irony

The 2022 version of our offensive line was indeed one of the best we've had. That they got misused and broken down the following season isn't really their fault. And if it helps, in the future I'll try to explain this using smaller words.

Evero wanti to move on wouldn't exactly surprise me.. Fair or not, it's kind of hard to imagine him having a very positive view of the Panthers organization after the experience of this past season

Side Note:

Ditto the kind of response I typically expect on your part

Sure as hell looks like one now though..

To be fair, you don't have a choice to block head coach interviews anymore.

Tomlin isn't getting fired, no there's a lot of speculation in my step away and take some time off. Even if he does though, the Steelers still retain his rights under contract.

I think the mistake with Campbell is that people see how intense he is and take him for a meathead. In reality, he's extremely smart.
