Why? He's a good coach and as far as I know a good man. If you haven't noticed there's a shortage of those right now. 

I certainly appreciate your take on BA as a person, and coach for that matter.  But he was in our division, and any thing that unsettles a division opponent is ok.

Are we sure this is gonna do that?

Someone else also decided it was time to hang it up...

Wonder if covering the Watson story or it being over played any role

He seems like a pretty good dude, but as a coach, he's the guy that couldn't get it done until the GOAT QB fell in his lap. He's also the only coach that got outcoached by Ron Rivera in the playoffs. Also, fug the Bucs.

Bruce Arians has always been a champion of minority coaches. Skip Bayless is a whole bitch for implying it was Arians vs. Brady. I hate that he helped Tampa win a SB, but he seems like a legitimately good dude, and giving Todd Bowles a shot in this way is pretty damn cool when you look at the nonsense other minority coaching candidates are up against.

I agree with this. 

I don't think he was as good a coach as he was given credit for.  He almost refused to adjust his offensive game plan when the run was working or his philosophy was not.

His offensive philosophy produced results, but there was a definite ceiling to those.  Had Brady and probably a few other pieces not essentially been able to win whether he was on the sidelines or not, the Bucs would not have gotten over that ceiling.

Wouldn't be surprised if he stayed on to cover it and the team til it was over and then move on.

I get that. I was probably that way at one point in my life. As I grew older I learned that the strong competition you face is what makes or breaks you.  What glory is there in beating up on a weakling? 

I just think the game is better when there is more great coaches and great teams.

My old ass opinion anyway.

Be proud of your Panthers; they now have the longest tenured HC in the NFCS. He also ranks 14th in the NFL.

Congrats to Tepper, Rhule is actually first at something.
