Coaching interview updates

[tukafan21]

So we're going to give up at least a first round draft pick and probably more for someone who will be the 4th oldest HC in the NFL?!?!

It never sat right with me to give up draft assets for a coach, even less so with it being a divisional team getting said draft picks, and just made so much worse that this guy isn't even a long term HC option for us due to his age.

Tepper is really screwing the pooch with this one, he's like a kid who is distracted by the shiny object

It's gonna be something like 49ers 2nd round, 49ers 3rd round, 2024 first round pick.

Some important news here...

Evero's interview will complete their Rooney Rule compliance, so from that point on the team is free to make a hire.

Gotta wonder now if it would have been Johnson had he not dropped out.

Did you read the Athletic article about Evero, Scott? Dude is going to be a stud. We may look back in 5-10 years and wish he would have been the hire. Heck, maybe he rocks the interview and makes Tepper consider it now.

No, just no, no no no no no no no no no no

That's 2 starters and a possible 3rd, in no world is any coach worth that when there are other good options out there, particularly ones who are over 20 years younger than him.

And none of this is to even mention that it's likely to alienate the majority of our former players who still support us.  I can't see guys like Smitty or TD taking too well to this given all the bounty gate stuff, that might seem like a minor thing, but it's not.  

Those type of guys, particularly those two who are so heavily involved int he media now, they talk to current players around the league all the time, you don't want them bad mouthing the Panthers, won't help us land Free Agents.

If we had a SB contending team right now, including the QB, then maybe it's a different discussion, but we don't have that, even if we had a QB, we still have a bunch of holes at the moment, holes that could be filled with those exact draft picks.  That second rounder this year, there's our pass rush specialist, that 3rd rounder, there's a nickel corner, and that first next year?  that's either ammo for a QB, to draft a QB with the pick, or any number of other immediate starting positions we may need to fill.

This is just asinine if we go this route, pretty much the only way I'd be accepting of this is if it came with a guarantee from Tapper that this either works out for us, or he will sell the franchise if it blows up in our face, then I'd be on board with this.

And I've been a Tepper supporter until now, I haven't had the anger that most fans have had with him, I've given him the benefit of doubt that he's a new owner who is learning as he goes... but this would be a bad step backwards.

I hope not too, but that's what I'm bracing myself for. Lol

If you don't think that every team did this including the Panthers,  I don't know what to tell you.  It just happened that it was Williams doing it instead of players. It was highly common, big hits get cash.  Bigger the hit the more cash.  Shoot used to get helmet stickers in college for big hits and noteworthy game accomplishments.  

Games different now but yea. 

Brace yourself because Evero interview being scheduled for Wednesday and Payton Friday and all the smoke is saying Carolina.

Yea...... so I might have just talked myself into not only now wanting Payton, but being upset if we don't get him, over in the Payton/Brady thread.

If it were to lead to Brady coming here and subsequently Gronk being a Panther... I'm in, I don't care about the draft picks anymore and honestly, I couldn't care less how it works out on the field.

Gronk on the Panthers has literally been my dream since he declared for the draft, I'm an Arizona alum who was in school when Gronk was.

Eck. Pretty embarrassing that the younger guys promising guys are turning the interviews down. Steichen is the last hope. I'm assuming Reich's style would be considered more "aggressive" than "innovative" 

Youth does not guarantee innovation

I've read it elsewhere too, can't remember where, but it's why I have never taken the Payton to Denver stuff serious no matter what they throw at him.  They are stuck with Wilson for the foreseeable future after him looking like absolute poo this year, and the philosophy just doesn't match up for a coach who has made his living with mostly scheming passes over the middle of the field with a QB whose biggest weakness is seeing the middle of the field.
