Mr. Scot

It's deserved. Brady wasn't ready for an OC job, and he was hired by a head coach who wasn't qualified. Granted, Brady might still have an NFL future if he works his way up. Rhule on the other hand will likely never have another NFL job.

Tis true...

From the article... Despite stale results for much of the past five seasons, the league is liking the Panthers’ future setup. The head-coaching hiring cycle wrapped up last week, with five heavily coveted candidates filling the vacancies, but one move stood out above the rest in the minds of high-ranking members around the NFL. ... The Athletic polled nine people — a combination of general managers, personnel executives, head coaches and assistant coaches who were granted anonymity so they could speak freely — with a simple question: Who was your favorite head-coaching hire? Panthers head coach Frank Reich received 5.5 votes to edge out DeMeco Ryans (3.5 votes) of the Texans. (One executive split his vote between the two.) Sean Payton (Broncos), Shane Steichen (Colts) and Jonathan Gannon (Cardinals) did not receive any votes. No one from the coaches’ current or most recent organizations was polled to avoid personal biases. Considering how well-regarded the coaches are, it looks like the Panthers did a good job with their hiring process. ... The Colts fired Reich in November despite a 40-33-1 record midway through his fifth season. Though it might have been time for the sides to part ways, owner Jim Irsay’s decision to replace Reich with Jeff Saturday was controversial at the time, and the voters certainly backed Reich with his next stop in Charlotte. “I like Frank a lot,” an assistant coach said. “He needs time to get it going, but I think he is a good hire. For what they need, he will do a very good job.” The Panthers regressed during former head coach Matt Rhule’s two-plus seasons. He had control over the 53-man roster and was falling out of favor within the organization, according to sources. ... Reich and general manager Scott Fitterer are expected to take a much more collaborative approach with personnel decisions. “I think Frank is a great match with Fitterer,” an executive said. Reich isn’t the only reason for optimism in Carolina. After the trade deadline in November, the Panthers were the only team to draw unanimous approval from a six-person panel for the moves of running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Robbie Anderson that netted a half-dozen NFL Draft picks. ... “I honestly like Frank Reich as a coach,” a second assistant coach said. “I do think he’s good, and he hired a good staff. Maybe a Doug Pederson 2.0?” The staff matters a great deal. Reich has already landed defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, senior assistant Jim Caldwell and senior defensive assistant Dom Capers, so they’re loaded with leaders and bright minds. “(Reich has) head-coaching experience and will bring stability to an organization in need of it,” a third assistant coach said.

It was reported by SI, Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times and others. Granted they can't compete with the credibility of "Hondo" from RaiderMaven.com, but hey

Kaye hinted that it could be Jeff Nixon. That would make sense. Nixon did a good job with the running backs and he's coached pretty much every skill position on an offense. He was also one of the more NFL experienced coaches on Rhule's staff. Plus he's reported to be very well-liked and respected in the building. To top it all off, it'd be kinda funny to see Reich succeed with one of Rhule's guys when Rhule couldn't

They literally couldn't afford to fire McDaniels. And again, the Raiders are one of the dumbest teams in the league. Trusting their judgment reinforces that you don't know much. To be clear, it's all right to not know much about football...until you start acting like you know more than everybody else. That's when you come up looking really stupid.

No. Just a connection with Jefferson

Praise from all over...

Corners who have long careers have more than just physical traits. You have to be smart to last past your prime.

How Jaycee Horn feels...

Mentioned in the other thread, this reunites him with Jake Delhomme

Mentioned this before Still need a strength and conditioning guy

Reuniting him with Jake Delhomme

Technically, Reich is cooking. But Tepper did hire the chef and he's paying for the ingredients. (and this time we've got a chef rather than a fry cook)

FYI: Rapoport says the Panthers do have interest and Carr may visit with us down the line. The belief Is that Carr will take his time making a decision on where he plays.

Official word...

24 hours later, he's here
