Even though some of these guys are perceived as young and inexperienced, the two clear favorites each have over a decade of NFL coaching experience.  Sure, not a coordinator for all, but growth in multiple organizations, around plenty of different coaches and players.  

As an outsider to it all, I'd mostly be concerned about Kafka, Moore, & Mayo as they not only have half the experience, but have been pretty heavily siloed from a franchise/scheme background standpoint.  Kafka is interesting because he was within 2 really good staffs & environments, but Moore and Mayo would be the ones I would have a TON of pause with.

It seems people are placing this "young gun, nerdy offensive mind" generalization on like all of these guys but coaches are getting younger, more players are becoming them, and there is simply a more diverse bunch all around from a scheme, background, & connection standpoint.

But then, looking on the supposed other end, you know the interesting thing looking back with Wilks? Over his entire career, he has 14 years NFL experience to his name, while taking 2020 mostly off and 2021 in Missouri, (with only 5 more NFL years experience than Steichen and Johnson).  Only 3 of those were as a coordinator and the bulk of it was tied to the hip with Rivera.  It may feel good, and it may feel like a sound and justified move, but there is a lot, and I mean, a lot of question marks with who he would bring together and the type of team he would want.  Just find the support surprising but it's just awkward to really diss him given the player support. Just a weird spot honestly.

He was enamored with Rhule too, not saying it’s the same situation but still…

Ben Johnson is the real deal.  Detroit offense was a pleasure to watch and it wasn't just talent making plays.  His ability to scheme guys open and establish a creative running game was great.  I think DJ Moore would play the St. Brown role in this offense.  

Time to hop on the train my man

Hey, anyone that makes Goff look All pro is fine by me. I just have a hard time trusting Tepper.

Interesting tidbit coming from Scott Fowler:

Panthers request interview with Jets' Safeties Coach, Marquand Manuel for Defensive Coordinator position

But why? Shouldn't the head coach pick the DC???

@Icege (I think I tagged the right person) added that new rules require 1 minority candidate to be interviewed regarding coordinator roles. 

So if they find their HC he could quickly assemble his staff.

Other have mentioned connections with Fitterer, Morgan and Dorsey.

Correction on a Wilks stat--he only has 3 more years of NFL coaching experience than Steichen and Johnson.

A random thought about Dorsey—(not CAR specific)

He’s not being talked about much but a funny connection he does have is his old colleague and college coach in Chud.

Wonder if he’d be calling BC for a buy out if he lands a gig. Unsure if he’d really be able to pull many BUF coaches with him to a new spot.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
