Panthers Focusing on 4 Candidates per report

[Mr. Scot]

Listening to a Patriots broadcaster on WFNZ now.

He said Belichick actually lets McDaniels do the game plans.

Speculated that Carolina would be the most appealing position.

Said McDaniels would be happy to work with Cam Newton.

Also said that when McDaniels was up for the Colts job, he was a little worried about the condition of Andrew Luck.

Added there's no indication Belichick is retiring anytime soon.

What did they say about McDaniels, Cleveland or Carolina. Or they not really saying much about where he will end up.

Too bad, we're trading Cam right. That's what the "sources" say.

lmaooooooo

Here is a little history from Chris Simms who played for McDaniels in Denver:

"

“Josh got an unfair shake in Denver, and I don’t think that’s what people really realize,’’ Simms said. “The things that need to be talked about in Denver, does he deserve some blame? Sure. I’m sure he thinks back and goes, ‘Man, I wish I didn’t trade Jay Cutler away.’ I don’t think the things people realize is the Broncos were going broke, I don’t think he was allowed to get the free agents he was promised before he got there. With the New England system and what they do, it being more complicated than most systems, it takes more than one year to get those kinds of guys in there.

“He would recognize he made a mistake in having a first-time GM [Brian Xanders] as well. Josh had to venture over to that side of it, instead of just coaching the team. The first-time GM was trying to get his feet underneath him and figure out what Josh wanted, that added to more pressure and more scrutiny on Josh, because it took him away from the coaching during the season, and there he was trying to help out in personnel as well.”

Now THIS is interesting and might explain why Hurney is still on board.

Yeah they said McCarthy's interviews went very well too. I mean does anybody think they are going to say that was the worst interview ever lol.

Could you imagine?

"Reports have said the interview for Mike McCarthy was an absolute dumpster fire, and the team has written him off as being a clueless douchenozzle.  Yes, douchenozzle." LOL

Its funny that years ago McCarthy, Nolan and the 49ers had a bad interview with Aaron Rodgers that totally turned them off and look elsewhere for a QB...and we never heard about that either until year later.

Everybody's interview went great, they all love the team, think the roster is Super Bowl worthy and say this job would absolutely be their first choice if it were offered.

(now just cut and paste that line for the beat writers at their other interview spots)

I caught up on a lot of podcasts today from Albert Breer, Michael Lombardi, Ben Albright and some others. My gut feeling is Josh McDaniels is Plan A and Eric Bieniemy is Plan B just from what the different guys were saying.

[Mage]

I really hope we get McDaniels if the alternative is Bieniemy

Risky?  Yes, but there’s a ton of upside if he’s learned how to truly be a leader of a team.  

Do people really see Bieniemy working out?  He seems like another guy in a long line of offensive assistants to great offensive minded head coaches, and off that they get a HC job.  McDaniels may be under Belichick but by all accounts he controls the offensive game plans, which Bieniemy doesn’t.  I’d just feel way more comfortable long term with McDaniels

 

[RumHam]

Jordan doesn't know anything more than anyone else. Out of these four, McCarthy will only come here if we break the bank, McDaniels WILL end up in Cleveland, Rhule is either Giants or back to Baylor, then we have Bienemy who doesn't seem to have any other suitors right now. He needs to be the guy.

Nagy, Pederson, John Harbaugh, and with Pederson you can throw in Frank Reich technically on that tree. Also McDermott and yeah Ron, but his defensive side seems like poo. Todd Bowles, who is smart but not a good head coach, Spagnola and Kotter (offensive). I'm looking more at the recent offensive minds. Pederson conducted the ultimate gameplan to upset the patriots and Reich was right there with him. Nagy has an awful QB who i'm pretty sure wasn't his first choice. 

Otherwise:

McCarthy - One ring for Rodgers, never had a defense, Packers won despite him, never ran the ball.

McDaniels - See The Golden Calf of Bristol. Would probably bail. Not a good culture. Don't trust him as much as I don't trust Hurney.

Rhule - Trendy college coach, most likely ends up back in college and while a good track record, seems he should prove it at a major school like Michigan given the opportunity.

Winning a ring is hard no matter who your QB is.  Not every me can be Walsh or Belichick and it’s ridiculous y’all keep holding this against McCarthy.  

Dungy won 1 ring with Manning, who most would agree is better than Rodgers. Is Dungy a bad coach too?
