nah def not that kinda risk. take a shot on a young offensive mind from a proven coaching tree, seems to be working league wide.

you do realize that a mere 4 years ago Frank Reich was that offensive mind from the proven coaching tree right?

I'm 100% ok with Reich because of his consistency in finding solid young coordinators. The empathetic human in me wants Wilks for a feel good SB but I cant really fathom that happening unless he strikes gold with his coordinators. Unfortunately he has the similar mindset Rivera had and that's what kept us from getting over the hump. Now if he throws a curveball and says he wouldn't promote Holcomb to DC, then we might have a more favorable scenario and I cant see that happening.

2nd round interviews usually involve a different set of people. Maybe this is where they meet with Fitterer and Morgan and co? Not sure who is involved in the first round of interviews aside from Tepper and his wife. 

Previous reports seemed to indicate Fitterer, Morgan and Samir Suleiman were all in on the initial interviews, but I don't know that anyone really specified.

I do, 4 years is long enough to prove if you can establish a winning program. I'll give him another chance because his QB's were inconsistent retreads. Worries me because that's been our MO the last few years and we also have an unhinged owner that gets too involved.

Reich is third on my list behind Steichen and Payton.  I was listening to a PODCAST yesterday saying it was Steichen job to lose.   I hope we hold out until the Eagles are out of the playoffs.  

I do believe that if Wilks is retained, we will definitely have a new OC.  I cringe at the thought of McAdoo being our OC in 2023.

 

Wilks/McAdoo being back as a combo is just waving the white flag and admitting you don't plan on ever improving. I can stomach Wilks to an extent but not McAdoo.

I would guess the second set of questions is more detailed and specific, like maybe naming names when it comes to staff and stuff like that.

That's just me spitballing though...

Here’s how I imagine it going:

Fitt: “Talk to me about your plans for filling out the rest of the coaching staff.”

Morgan: “What are your thoughts on our draft picks this year?”

David Tepper: “Also, what’s your favorite flavor of crayon?”

Nicole Tepper: “And as a Taurus, how do you plan to connect emotionally with the Virgo’s on the team?”

Here is the thing with Reich

-Philly fans love him and credit him for the Super Bowl winning offense.  Even speaking as highly of him 5 years ago as Steichen today.

 

- had winning seasons in 3 out of 4 seasons as a Head Coach.


- has proven he can put together an elite staff.  One big issue he had in Indy was his staff constantly being poached.  His original staff in Indy today includes 2 current NFL HCs including Siriani with the Eagles.  And 3 current NFL coordinators which include Eagles Dc

 

-his big downfall was the Wentz issue.  Which if you look into it.  The same front office/ownership that’s about to hire Jeff Saturday as their next HC.  Gave Reich Jacolby Brissett and 100 year old Phillip Rivers instead of drafting one like he wanted.  That’s when Reich pushed for Wentz who he had a history with in Philly

Yea he got shafted by Indy like Wilks did in Arizona front office wise, not being able to pick his qb.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.
