Tepper clearly wants to change the Panthers identity

[Saca312]

Scrolling through twitter, I took note of one particular statement that really sums up the coaching search so far:

Seems David Tepper is in line with the fans with wanting an identity change. With the amount of offensive minded candidates they are interviewing, looks like the Panthers are seeking to revamp their image and come up with a new identity.

Not one of ground and pound and pray the defense holds up enough, but one where the offense is their own weapon to compete in a league where Mahomes, Burrow and Allen are lighting it up through the air.

A change in philosophy, and that's the direction Tepper clearly wants the Panthers to go and one I hope they do as well.

In particular, like what Billy wants, I'd love to see Ben Johnson coming in. He elevated the Lions offense beyond their talent to compete at a high level despite their deficiencies. Would be beautiful to see similar results in Carolina, and of course beautiful to upgrade from Al Holcomb's straighrforward defense as well.

A change in identity. Hope this rings true when the next HC is announced.

Tepper has been very proactive in changing a lot about the Panthers since 2018.

To his credit, every change has been a major downgrade.

Mike Kaye said something similar...

At this point, it looks like unless it's Wilks, we're going to have our first offensive head coach.

It time for a change. We can still have the Keep Pounding motto. But need some explosion on offense.

His intentions were the same when he hired Rhule.

I dunno.. Rhule was pretty offensive to the panthers

For a couple years.

Very true. Rhule misled Tepper with that and Tepper gullibly went with his snakesoil pitch.

All we can hope is he's learned. Looks like he's turning away from the college scene and keeping firmly on NFL success this go around, which is a good start.

To be fair, Rhule was a college coach with no real NFL experience. He conned his way into our organization and shitted on it since he was fired. I don't foresee these NFL lifers doing the same.

I'm not honestly sure what kind of coach I'd classify Rhule as.

(other than a sh-tty one)

I’m all for a smashmouth running game but we absolutely have to have an equally potent passing attack. We’re too one dimensional and predictable with our current playcalling/personnel. Same is true with our defense.

"It's logical. Just need to pick the right one."

I do not have the upmost confidence in the decision making of this brain trust. Hoping for the best.

No it looks like with the Giants OC he's looking to snag another touted "wunderkind" who still hasn't really proved himself. 

Some people buy a lot of gold plated jewelry because it's all blingy and irresistable.
