Snow

[Snake]

This is definitely the Tepper type crazy move some of us expected. Non conventional with the potential to be boom or bust.

Doesn't seem like the kinda guy to up and move from Charlotte to DC to me, unless he really wants to coach, and the Panthers don't let him in the door.

If they don’t I will write Tepper a very strongly worded letter.

Some of it might not even be in crayon.

Should be an extremely interesting next couple of years. Our HC, OC and DC all have zero NFL experience outside a couple years as low level assistants. 

....so did mike tomlin...

Load up the lower level coaching positions with NFL veteran coaches- say get a former head coach to be ass't head coach for offense. Should be the best of both worlds- the experience the rookie coaches can draw on and the fresh perspective and ideas the rookies bring.

everyone complained about having a predictable team outdated philosophy...

so now we hire young guys and have no clue what they will do or are capable of

one thing we know though is their ideas will be original and innovative, whether they work or not we shall see but that’s all part of the risk you take people need to stop being such drama queens bitching just to bitch and realize we’re taking a risk and hoping it plays out big

its much better than sitting around in a mediocre state comfortable with moderate success every 1-2 years and a shitfest in between

Do either of you two have any thoughts on Ron Rivera's 7-16 record in the NFCS the last 4 years?

The last time snow was in on an NFL team. He went 0-16.

You living in the past and all you should know that.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Luke goes to work for Rivera.

I think Luke is going to stay here, not sell his house, not live away from his GF, not move away from his best friends, etc.

He doesn’t need the money. He can stay involved with football without upending his life.

Do they even play defense in the big 12?

No, so he got experience against teams who focus on their offence and got ranked high nationally. That's great news for the Panthers.

Can we all agree to give these coaches a couple years before we start calling for their heads?

I know it’ll be hard for some of you to not want them fired after a couple preseason games 

Many are calling for their heads as we speak.

Yeah because the LB coach has a direct result on a team's record. Maybe they had great LBs and the rest of the team sucked.

[Tarheel119]

In my mind, there’s no difference in taking a chance with Snow vs. a guy who’s never called a play in his life.  Holcomb has experience, though the results were lacking.

Worst team ever!

oh man that linebacker group really let us down 

[Varking]

It makes me laugh that people bring up Snow coaching on an 0-16 team as a LB coach where the only thing good defensively on that team was their LBs. Or the idea that a coach can't get better and he will always just be the guy as back then. He has balled out as a DC at two different stops where talent is a struggle. He has been a better defensive coordinator than Rhule was leading an offense. Put some respect on his name. 

[Brooklyn 3.0]

That juggernaut defense of Baylor! Yeah ... wait.

Seriously, for as much as we ragged on Ron Ron for staying loyal to vets, no one is going to roll eyes at Rhule and Tepper being loyal to Baylor and Steeler guys? Let's hope it pans out, but damn.
