For those who still question Jim Harbaugh: he’s made every program better. In fact, he’s made every program worlds better. His teams have lacked sustainability after his departure, with the exception of Stanford

The more i look at it, Harbaugh really checks all the boxes Tepper is looking for. I mean it looks like he is describing Harbaugh when he talks about what he wants. Old school discipline but embracing analytics.... pretty much him to a T.

I would definitely not be Anti-Harbaugh. He's probably the best retread available.

Baseball used to be solely about your slash line, RBI’s, Average, Dingers. Now nobody even looks at those and WAR is god. That right there is advanced metrics and analytics. The Moneyball A’s (though greatly exaggerated for Hollywood) found gems by using Walks+OBP when no one else was looking at it. 

If Tepper feels like getting a few nerds in the building to review that sort of stuff to find players that may be undervalued, or uses it with innovative coaches because there is some statistical advantage to going for it on 4th instead of punting, I’m all for it. Those small tweaks can be game changers. 

I don’t see the harm it could do. If the team is a doormat for a decade using his analytics then sure we can all get the pitchforks out. But the Panthers have been a ~.500 mediocre team forever. Doesn’t hurt to try a new way IMO. 

Havent the Ravens gone all in on using analytics this season?  Seems to be working our pretty great for them so far.

I don't necessarily think Rivera is dumb, but I think it's quite possible he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

I think he's not that smart...hell at lest Mark Schlereth said as much on a show yesterday about himself and other football players. Self aware guy that one.

Our current team is soft. Love literally everything about this so far.

The team is very soft, Ron Rivera is soft and our game day results are soft. Do you remember last year when Thomas Davis’s wife made a comment that the Panthers practices are run soft so don’t expect game performance to be any different?

Kevin Colbert / Jim Harbaugh combination?  I could get on board with that....

    • If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such.  You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well.  Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men.  Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this.  Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS.  He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait. 
    • I hear you and I can imagine it's frustrating as a fan, but UNC-CH leaving the ACC would be throwing away over a century of history. It would really suck if y'all, or Clemson, or any of the other remaining charter members leave. I still think it sucks that Maryland left as well. Feels so wrong not having that rivalry anymore. Maryland fuging hated us and I loved it. Who's Maryland's rival now in the big 10? Rutgers? lol. Also, I think that the Heels are more likely to be Kentucky 2.0 than you are to get serious about football upon joining the SEC. Both UNC (and also Duke's) administrations seem very stuck in their ways with sticking to their ways and remaining basketball powerhouses. I do wish we could see NC teams actually competing in my favorite sport sometimes but alas. I personally value keeping our history intact over trying to become top flight CFB programs because nowadays it's just a pay to win sport anyways. Even if UNC-CH got serious I doubt they could compete with that Texas oil money, or that Oregon nike money, or that USC rich kid money. That's all top level college football really is anymore. You're either an established blue blood or you're willing to waste tons of money that could be spent on education rather than football. 
    • Maybe a move to the SEC forces UNC to be more serious about football?   I mean we should be making noise in the weak ACC and we can't even do that. How is Duke better than UNC in football right now? It's honestly sad and pathetic.   It doesn't matter if we get another great QB as you said a QB doesn't mean you have a great roster. A QB can only do so much. We lack elite guys in the trenches. That's how you build a program. It starts up front.
