The seven year deal makes me excited because I think it signals that Rhule/Tepper want to bottom out next year and draft Trevor Lawrence.

He's not coming to fail. This #7 pick is basically his.

The pessimists here are so lame. He’s a completely unknown quantity at the pro level who’s been successful so far, and you’re gonna go in expecting the worst? I dreaded McCarthy but I’d take anyone over another year of the same old with the previous staff. 

Keep Pounding you bozos.

The amount of salt and self-righteousness over my post is kind of weird. Just not a fan of abandoning the process. That’s all. Nothing to get all worked up over. I really hope he is everything that Tepper and Marty thinks he is, and more. I hope he’s the best coach of all time. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with how they handle their hiring process, from what we know of it.

Damn.

I’m salt free. Just call me “Mrs. Dash.”

You just said it though. We don’t know the process. Everything outside of Rhule might have been 100% back up plan.

Nothing about Tepper’s tenure so far indicates that he’s compulsive. I still think he might be waiting to drop Hurney like a bad habit as well.

7 year deal for  Bobby Petrino 2.0 Tepper is an IDIOT

I am not in a position to label a man's ability before he starts working.  I can say this--that little voice in my head telling me McDaniels is a disaster waiting to happen is now silent.  It got its information from multiple little voices in McDaniels' head.  Apparently, they now have internet access.

agree with @Jeremy Igo.

 

this guy was one I really wanted to see Panthers get. he understands how to build a contender from scratch and build a successful program. cannot begin to describe just how incredible a job he did at Baylor.

im excited.

Just because of media reports, this is surprising.  Seemed focused on McDaniels.  I wonder if McCarthy was considered a backup plan.  And him going to Dallas, caused clock to speed up.

Well I wanted a fresh offensive guy. Hopefully it works.

I like what I'm hearing so far. No reason not to at least give him a chance to prove himself, especially if we solidify the DC position with someone like Wade Phillips.

Yep I was wrong for sure. Looks like we are going a completely different direction. The only thing I wish, is I wish we could get at least one coordinator with NFL head Coaching Experience. Otherwise, it will be a rough 2-3 year curb.

I want Wade Phillips on the other side.

The only way I’m liking this hire more than I already do is if we grab someone like Wade Phillips
