Panthers Beat Writer on the current stage in the HC search

[kungfoodude]

Maybe they meant that when they were taking a "hard look" at McCarthy that they were openly mean mugging him.

Conisdering there have been other national writers etc who have said theyve had sources say McCarthy's name had been circulating around the building even as far back as the weeks prior to Rivera's firing

 

 

Plus he is "saying the right things" 

 

which I pointed out how Hurney has talked Tepper into convincing he's the right guy.

Ben Volin confirmed we inquired about both McDaniels and Caserio last offseason before deciding to stand pat.

OK but inquiring really means nothing. A proper search would include “inquiring” into dozens of potential candidates from the start. I’ve yet to see any legitimate reports that McDaniels is high on our list or a serious target for us. It’s possible, sure, but nothing concrete suggests that’s the case. And the report that McDaniels wants to coach here muddies the waters a bit in regards to who wants who.

It’s going to be Josh McDaniels. Expect it to be announced after the Patriots are out of the playoffs. And when it happens remember I told you it would. 

Unlikely.

Yeah, I am obviously being facetious. 

I will say that I have a significant amount of concern if we don't make our front office hire(s) before we get a head coach. Tepper is not a football guy, period. I would like another football guy in the room talking to him about this decision on a daily basis rather than Marty Hurney.

Also CBS had an article with the top 5 potential landing spots for McCarthy 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the panthers were #1

For me McDaniels would be the bottom tier fug no coach. McCarthy the meh he could be good but could be bad wait and see mid tier coach. Stefanski would be the fug yea let’s see what this hungry dude’s got ideal, most exciting coach to hire.

And then there’s the wildcard  Harbaugh that’d make me think 

[JawnyBlaze]

Don’t really want McCarthy.

To be fair, lots of guys who didn't do so great on their first head coaching stint did a lot better their second time around.

Marv Levy is one example. And of course, there's that guy McDaniels works for.

..pete carroll too i  believe

"Inquired about" equals "clubhouse leader" to Mister.  Clearly Tepper  hasnt inquired about anyone else in this search.....lol

[Waldo]

There is still hope but it's sounding like Tepper is lining up to be another Billionaire making terrible football decisions and fielding a crap product. If Hurney is helping hire the next coach it sounds like a lock that this is more of the same. Within a half of a month after the draft we will know which way he is taking the team but so far I have to say the only good decisions he has made is on the business side. (Ron shouldn't have been the coach this year and that fact was proven right yet Hurney is still here contaminating the team).

Fug McCarthy and McDaniels, go ahead and take that Browns job and McSharty can go to the Jags.

It means we were interested last year. Volin added that he expects us to be interested this year as well.

And there's technically nothing concrete on anybody at this point, though people like Albert Breer believe McDaniels is the top target.

This would be terrible news. Id rather have freakin Marvin Lewis. What a terrible option this would be. Imagine having Hurney and McCarthy.... my word

[Proudiddy]

Good Lord...  none of the front runners sound appealing at all.  McDaniels won't mount to much, as none of Belichick's tree outside of O'Brien have ever been worth a crap as a HC (prolly bc they can't bring NE's film crew with them lol).  And as I said before, McCarthy is literally the offensive version of Rivera.  Yuck.
