I will say this has been an incredibly quiet search by the Panthers. Only real "leak" was that Tepper/the team was excited by Ben Johnson and he may have been the frontrunner if he hadn't pulled out. Besides that, been crickets.

Leaking news like that is dangerous and should be prevented.  Coaches have egos.  Nobody wants to be the second choice, I would think.  That could be why others did not agree to be interviewed here.

They let it be known that they liked Johnson.  Bad idea

They let it be known that they were looking for an offensive-minded coach.  Bad idea, when you have interviewed defensive-minded coaches.

I can’t think of anything that would deflate this fanbase faster than going through this hiring cycle with an emphasis on progression and revitalization and a commitment to joining the current NFL only to end up with Steve Wilks back as head coach to lead the panthers to ~.500 over the next three seasons 

i think I’d just be done. It wouldn’t even be a protest thing. I simply could not work up the enthusiasm to to watch this milquetoast    blandmobile chug ahead again with the same formula that has perpetually failed to yield them back to back winning seasons

I didn’t watch a down of panthers football between the ravens and final Saints game last season, it wasn’t intentional, I just had no desire to watch that ballclub. So the template is already there. Idk how many times this team try to do it the same way with the same insufficient results and still talk themselves into plodding ahead.

”but Wilks says he has a plan!”

Lol

A lot of people would feel the same way. Even the Wilks fans who think that real life is a Disney Channel movie where the team just needs to 'believe' and then they win the big game would bounce fast.

I agree, but I also think he should have to change his DC as well. 

This will be worth watching as well. May be a determining factor if this becomes a requirement for the new HC.

They’re not wasting time that’s for sure.

I agree with John on this one, would love to see Reich, think he would put together a very strong staff and he could develop a rookie QB. The QBs he had to work with in Indy…

Rooting hard for Frank Reich. Can't believe it came to this but desperate times

[trueblade]

Reich feels like the compromise between Steichen and Wilks. Head coach experience, but offensive minded.

I'll take it. Reich would be an instant upgrade at coach. As we saw with Wilks, an actual NFL head coach would have had this team performing years ago.

No more time to waste. Plug and play Reich.

Nobody wanted us and nobody else wanted Wilks. We got each other though. 6-11 for life. Everyone better get on the mediocre bus now before it takes off.
