He still has to be putting feelers out for his potential staff. Having actual names of guys you've contacted and know have potential interest to give Tepper is a much better case to make than simply saying your plan is to hire a good OC then have to admit that no, you haven't actually seen if those guys have are actually interested.

He could sell it better if he had a guy like LeFluer committed to be OC if he got the job. That would be hard to say no to.

Yeah, I would be shocked if he didn't go into that interview with a pretty well put together plan regarding how he plans to approach the offensive side of the ball, the OC or at least OC candidates being a key piece of that plan. I mean if he didn't, he's basically out.

Shea Tierney over Mike LaFleur for OC.

Brian Daboll has been capitalizing off of Tierney since the national championship game with Alabama (Tierney was there with Saban before Daboll arrived and Daboll took this football genius with him). Tierney has been behind the success of Brian Daboll, Ken Dorsey, Nick Foles, Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, Josh Allen, and Daniel Jones.

I would want him as HC, but he needs a couple seasons as OC and demonstrate he can create an immediate impact in that role like he has for all the instant success for the others he has touched. For now, pairing him with Kafka as HC is the best move.

I see Kafka being an Andy Reid type HC and Shea Tierney being a cross of Bill Walsh/Bill Belichick type HC. Without Kafka and Tierney, I believe Daboll falls back down to earth. Daboll put Dorsey in place with the Bills to prep Tierney for his future OC. He gives Kafka (who was prepped to be OC for Reid) his shot at OC to help develop Tierney even more for OC. Tierney has been prepping for OC under Daboll for 5 years.

If you want an immediate improvement on offense, you give the HC position to Kafka if he brings Tierney with him as OC. Then trade Kafka to another team when Tierney is ready to be HC. Same plan I suggested when the Panthers went to the SB; Trade Rivera's contract for what you can get and promote McDermott.

Tierney in 2 to 3 seasons will give you the best of Bill Walsh, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban, and Chip Kelly. You will have a young coach who is a crossbreed of 4 coaching trees and can find and develop QBs at will on the college or NFL level. He has the perfect combination of psychology, data analytics, game planning, development, and scouting.

Kafka-Tierney combo with Tierney moving up as the HC in time will lead a team to a dynasty.

If I got my way I would put Sean McVay, Mike Kafka, and Shea Tierney in a room. McVay moving to a GM role, Kafka as the HC, and Tierney as the OC. Eventually, McVay would take a Co-GM role with Tierney as Co-GM/HC after Kafka's rights are traded to another team.

I hope the Panthers don't miss another rare window while watching another team benefit from getting it right.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
