Not sure how to feel about this, they are the only team with a legit QB in the NFC South now and not a terrible team around him.  I think that leave us no choice but to make a move in the draft.

RIP Big Cat!  Thank you for bringing the NFL to Charlotte!

Well with all of these former Panthers players / coaches.  KEEP POUNDING isn't going anywhere!  If anything, it has a whole new push behind it!  Love this coaching staff so far!

Good luck Steve, you got this!

For college basketball I don't think it matters as much.  Lets be honest, since the age of one and done the college basketball product has gone down hill.  It has been proven time and again that having the best talent doesn't win championships, look at Duke this year, number 1 recruiting class and they suck.  Buying a bunch on 1 and done players isn't going to change that just different teams will now prove that formula doesn't work.  Football is a little different, you at least get to keep those kids a couple of years

Admitting you made a mistake and learning from it.  I like it, I like the process as described here and LOVE the fact that Tepper personally called Wilks to let him know vs having someone else do it.

Happy days are here again!

Good, now Scott knows were to make the cap saving cuts at

He is stressed, his legacy is in question.  If he fails at Nebraska after failing here, he knows his career is basically over.  Stress is a killer, literally.  I hope he succeeds as well, I hope every human being does

Opinion piece of course but I could see this happening

Projecting what exactly? Because I’m calling out that Tepper by definition is most likely a racist. He was a kid in the civil rights era. His parents were most likely racist and most likely raised him to be the same. It’s just not popular to be a racist anymore so people had to adjust their behavior, but don’t forget that wasn’t too long ago. 

Projecting Racism, if you keep screaming everything is racist because of most likelies then we never move forward with it.  There was nothing racist about this, they stated from the very beginning they wanted an offensive minded coach and out of respect for a great man they kept him in the mix.  Nothing more, nothing less

See how can say that Frank is qualified to be the head coach, without dismissing the fact that if Wilks was a white man he most likely would have gotten the job.

Tepper already proved by his own admission that he hired Rhule because he reminds him of himself. They already showed they weren’t exactly following the diversity training implemented because most of y’all racist as hell and don’t know it. Tepper has certain biases and I’m sure he found Frank more relatable. 
 

It was a good hire, but don’t come at me with Wilks doesn’t have a gripe. He does. And if you don’t think so then I suggest you find a minority to explain it to you. 

What exactly is Wilk's grip?  Did you know that there were other white coaches interviewed with better resumes then both Wilks and Reich who also didn't get the job?  Wilks has nothing to grip about and you're projecting here.  Wilks is a great man, not a great coach, his record proves that, the fact that no other team has reached out to him proves that.  Great men doesn't necessarily make a great coach and that is all that happened here

Maybe if they fire all of their coaches they won't be pre-season favorites to win the super bowl next year?!  Ah hell what I am thinking, Jerry could be the GM, Coach and every other position coach and the media / fans would still have them has pre-season favorites

McCarthy looking for a scapegoat?

I'm sure Jerry has something to do with that

Hence the Burns trade should have been done when we had the desperate Rams on the hook. Here’s a 10 sack a season guy replacement plus another $10-12M FA, pick 36 (Miami forfeits 21) this year and 2024/2025 1sts. That Burns trade was a no-brainer even if you love Burns.

I've thought about this since the initial thread and the only thing I can come up with as the reason for keeping Burns is...the Panthers don't see a franchise QB in this class.  I'm assuming that their thought was Burns was more valuable than any QB available.  It's the only thing I can think of because you take that trade 10 out of 10 times if you felt you were getting your QB of the future or at least the ammo you need to try and get him.

Where has he won at ?, and why was he fired a few weeks ago , Roddy was an assistant coach who learned to be a head coach and took the Canes to relevancy, Reich is a proven failure who led the Colts to mediocrity 

Atleast Payton would have gave us credibility,but I guess he didn't want to serve under an idiot either 

Not who I wanted either but are you just trolling with this one?

If we make it through the weekend with no coach named I wonder if we pivot back to at least have a second interview

I just hope Tepper don't fug up and hire Kellen Moore. 

Just read that he isn't out of the race

Kellen Moore is 'Not Out of the Race' for Panthers Job (msn.com)

Not sure if that means much

Great write up Mr. Scot!

Wasn't my first, second or third choice but it is sounding more and more like he is going to be the man so...he has my support

Just now, ncfan said:

Could be because he just doesn’t have a job currently either

 

Thought it was already posted somewhere that he was one of few that was still under contract

I don’t think his physical interview was this morning.  They just mentioned that he stayed in town this morning and would be getting a second interview l.

He stayed in town, alone, to me is telling.  Something must have been said during the interview that "lead" him to believe there was no reason to leave town to quickly 

Love Wilks the man and if he ends up being our coach I will pull for him to do great things but I just don't see it happening.  I really wish Ben Johnson didn't decide to pull out

Wonder what the off the field concerns are
