Reich New Head Coach

[TLGPanthersFan]

A lotta angry Wilks fans right now. Love to see it.

He wasn't my first choice. Or my second. Or third.

But he was far from my last choice. And I'm glad we FINALLY have a HC who won't come in preaching the tired old "ground and pound" approach on offense.

We could have done better, but we most certainly have seen MUCH worse over the last 3 years.

Now go get a franchise QB.

Would love to aggressively go after Fangio now

“Young offensive guy”. Tepper hires 61 year old.  I guess Tepper still thinks he’s young.

On the flip side he also pounded the Hackett drum for a long time. Hopefully not the kiss of death here.

I was banging the anyone but Wilks and Reich drum. Oh well

Now, let's see who he hires as coordinators.  Then I will decide to get excited or not. 

I fear Tepper forgets why he fired Ron Rivera.  And might over correct after Rhule blew up in his face.  I don't want us to be the good old boys coaching tree of retread names we have seen all over the league. 

This.

I don't know if it will be that way unless they sign CJ Henderson and their top two CBs are out for the season. 

Man CBs look bad in Charmin soft zones. With NO pressure.  

Literally gave the goat 5 seconds to get the ball out.

All the haters of this hire clearly have little to no experience with personnel management, or just wanted their guy and are now butthurt. This was a very comprehensive search, and resulted in a HC who has HC experience, is offensive-minded, has a SB title on his resume, and connections to the Panthers as a player. Let the man fill out his staff before you get on your high horse about how sh*tty a hire it was. You're embarrassing yourselves.

Panthers draft one of the best man corners in 2020

Panthers still play zone in 2021, 2022

Coach Reich's press conference better be all about the QB situation. Grill him and ask what his plan is to find our next franchise QB. Draft prospects, Darnold, Matt Corral, signing veteran. His hire doesn't matter if he can't find our next QB. 

I think Tepper brought Reich in to fix the QB situation, so I do expect us to be aggressive in finding the next  franchise QB. 

Why would he telegraph his intentions to the other 31 teams in the league? I hope he's smarter than that.  He should just give vague answers like BB and look at everyone in the room like he's going kill them in their sleep.

I'm sure you're happy. You've been banging the Reich drum for a while now haha

Only really settled on Reich when it came down to a choice between he and Wilks.

I do tend to prefer older, more experienced coaches. When I saw the interview pool though, I thought there was no way we'd end up with one.

Surprise, surprise
