[Moo Daeng]

So much for the assumptions. College coach who has never been an OC. Hes coached all 3 aspects of the game at some point

I'm hoping for the best while also shaking my head and going "Wait, what?! 

I don't really know what to think, but I'm going to set my expectations low.

If Phil Snow is indeed coming with him as DC, expect the Panthers to stay with the 3-4 scheme because that was Baylor's base... Also, they did run a lot of 3-3-5 packages as well

This.  I think this dude was tailor-made for college.  His poo isn't gonna fly in the pros.

[AceBoogie]

Well I got this one very wrong. 

[trueblue]

The fact many of the arm chair GM's on this board hate this move, makes me even more convinced its the right move. 

[Pazhoosier89]

Not my first choice but I like a guy with a chip on his shoulder. As a former walk on he will have that and has turned around 2 college programs in his Head Coach stints.

Yeah, We use the 3-3 Stack, but that aint working in the NFL, too much space and speed.

[PhillyB]

can he play left tackle

[panthers55]

Apparently one of his big assets is people skills. Something McDaniels is not known for. And if his gift is turning around programs like Temple or Baylor which have disadvantages compared to other schools in their divisions then this could be a great choice. I just don't know.

With all of your time in his locker rooms, playing for his teams, your commentary is worth its weight in gold...

Everybody got this wrong.

He must have really blown away that interview.

[mav1234]

Don't like it at all.  I don't see the draw.

David Tepper in Dec. when asked about hiring a college coach: "I do understand the difficulty of the transition though. That doesn’t mean I’m closing it off, but you’ve got to understand, anybody who’s been around football understands the difficulty of that transition."
