Bill B is $20 a year, you want Ben and it's a poo show here, you're going to have to make him highest paid in the league. This is going to be the Deshaun Watson coaching edition sweepstakes

Bears and Chargers would offer him a 10-15is a year contract for 4 years If you wanted his attention here to deal with and clean up the mess, it's going to take a massive overpayment

when someone guarantees you $210 million for your signature, you take a hard evaluation of your life and what's important and you sign your name on that line

Ben Johnson will have WAY better options this off-season: Bears with 2 first round picks in the top 5, DJ Moore, familiar with the division, cap space, tradeable assets in Fields, an improving defense Chargers - Top 10 QB, top 10 RB that can catch out of the backfield, top safety, great pair of DEs, top 15 WR. He can turn them from pretenders to contenders OVERNIGHT With that said, any of these franchises will fork out money, so if you're Tepper and have a lifeless team with poor draft capital and no franchise players what's your pitch Money: He has LOTS of it and has not been shy to flex that wallet, current highest paid coach is Bill B at $20 million a year Commitment: he needs to know he won't be a one and done head coach, that to overhaul this is gonna take 3 years minimum Control: he needs to know you won't be meddling with every decision or passing post it notes from your tecmo bowl evaluation My offer is: 7 years, $210 million with Ben to pick his GM and it's only Ben and the GM who have final personnel matters You have shown commitment financially by the annual rate and length of the contract, you've also shown you won't meddle in personnel or pick another flunk GM

actually it is

Frank was TOAST when he came here as a coach, he needed to take a year or two off before throwing his hat into the coaching ring. I get it, money grab, don't blame him, he and his kids are set for life. He's a nice man, revered in Buffalo but hands down the worst X's and O's coach in Panther history

Frank is out to pasture, we're on to Tampa

Only Tepper would do something of colossal stupidity and bring in Bill B, he'd likely even do a Pat Riley deal and give Bill equity in the Panthers

Will we get the new coach bump and get off the skid or is this just same ole same ole Unfortunately I don't think this a Raiders scenario where there's talented players but disgruntled with ineffective coaching I think this is talent void roster with inept coaching Bucs 21 Carolina 20

if you live long enough, you'll see history repeat itself

maybe I am old fashioned but I ain't giving Steve Smith 1 hr of my time

1 hr podcast.... that's a no go for me

this perfectly encapsulates what I was trying to articulate well done!

maybe I am suffering from this Stockholm syndrome describes the psychological condition of a victim who identifies with and empathizes with their captor or abuser and their goals

I mean he knew firing Reich was going to be a poo storm, but he still did it He basically told Texas A&M "hold my beer" when it comes to paying coaches who are no longer coaching for him Yes Tepper made a MASSIVE mistake in hiring Reich but he also had enough insight to can him and not subject us to 3 years of Reich. I don't think there would be anything left of the fanbase had he given Reich that long of a leash. Keeping Reich next year basically ruins any salvation chance with Young Reich is a nice man but AWFUL coach His playcalling- atrocious he's never really developed a QB unless you call Wentz something special The CHI FG attempt literally highlighted how inept and out of touch he is Am I wrong to credit Tepper for at least recognizing how horrible the Reich hire was and immediately canning him

we should all thank Nicole and David Tepper for bringing us these great Panthers

when Reich sent Eddie P to kick an impossible FG in freezing CHI, I knew that man was broken and DONE when it comes to the NFL

Kids aren't going to these games, not even the make-a-wish kids want to see this mess

My sources are telling me Nicole wanted Reich to implement the Matt Canada offensive philosophies

Ben Johnson is going to the Bears two top 5 picks a #1 WR tradable asset in Fields A demented owner who's hands OFF that's a dream come true

Frank Smith, OC Dolphins If you want any chance of Bryce resembling Tua then Frank is the pick

Do you want to win some meaningless games and screw the Bears from getting the first overall pick or lose baby lose and have our second round pick basically the equivalent of a 1st rounder Honestly for me, keep losing, a high second and a high third MOST GMs not named Tepper, Fitterer, Hurney, Gettlemen, Nicole could actually do something with those picks

Rest in POWER bigcat, rest in POWER.... you didn't deserve to get your franchise stripped away like that during cancel culture and then have to sell to this schlub

poor Nicole... he's gonna take it out on her tonight

it was "unanimous" my ass
