Don’t rule out interim coach Steve Wilks getting a real chance to impress his new boss. Numerous people who have insight into the Panthers’ front-office dynamic, but aren’t permitted to discuss it publicly, believe that when Wilks — a former member of the Panthers’ coaching staff held in high regard there — left his job as defensive coordinator at Missouri to join Rhule’s staff as a secondary coach, it was for this exact scenario. Wilks was the head coach in Arizona for a year, and he has a close bond with Steven Drummond, the Panthers’ vice president of football operations, who has essentially become Tepper’s primary resource and most influential internal confidant, according to numerous people aware of that dynamic but precluded from commenting on it by their contracts with other NFL teams.

First, let’s address the Payton rumors. Based on conversations with multiple NFL executives and coaches, including several who have ties to Tepper, league insiders don’t see this as a fit. Many who know Payton well don’t believe he and Tepper would be a match, and the Carolina job comes with several red flags. There is no quarterback on the roster that coaches are eager to work with and no trove of 2023 draft picks. The Panthers have talent on defense, but the roster needs work. Tepper has no track record of winning, and the facilities aren’t special. Oh, and facing the New Orleans Saints twice a year would be a little awkward for Payton, who coached the franchise to its only Super Bowl title. The odds of Saints exec Mickey Loomis dealing Payton, who is under contract to the Saints through 2024, to a division rival are bleak. “That’s only an attractive job if you have a chance to get a quarterback,” one NFL general manager Another GM said: “Tepper isn’t afraid to throw money around, but this won’t happen. [Loomis] wants to trade [Payton] to an AFC team. I can’t see Sean in Carolina, and he’s going to be able to speak with any owner [with a coaching vacancy] he wants.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/10/11/carolina-panthers-next-head-coach/

I agree. The team will come out playing inspired ball similar to when we signed Cam last year vs Cardinals

I think we’re going to play very well similar to when Cam came back last year vs Cardinals

Tepper is gonna go after Sean Payton Sean is gonna want to run things and work under a GM that he chooses Jeff Ireland perhaps

Fitterer is not safe

Remember when you called him a bust after the Cleveland game?

I'm 35min away but I'd rather watch it on TV not paying to watch garbage

Good to see G-reg but I would really love to see his 3rd leg

He's dangerously close to being a 1st round bust

Elflein has now regressed to his pervious terrible form

Maybe McCaffrey wants out

Scott Flower just went INSIDE Dave Tepper? gross

Scott Flower is worse than Will Uncle

Apparently he has an inside source: some say its Brian Burns brother Stanley McClover other say its Tre Boston and yet others believe its Matt Rhule's mistress

What was the 1st thing Wilks did when he was named interim HC fire Snow
