Reich New Head Coach

[OldNorthPowell]

The guy has a SB ring as an OC. Went 40-33 with a Colts franchise that has lacked talent. With good OC/DC selections this could go well. Hopeful, and glad it isn't Wilks. Reich is good at coaching up QBs.

Get ready for a bit of an improvement offensively in terms of eye test but the same result of being around .500 folks. Gonna be fun.

Good question.  I really don't know what type of qb he would draft as I'm not sure he ever got the chance to draft his own. 

Someone here suggested he might be interested in a Vet QB like Brissett or something.

Regarding Wilks...

I'll never understand the undue Wilks hate. It's more rooted in emotion than logic.

That said, Frank was my first choice with Wilks second.

Now, the Panthers are charting a new course, and Reich gives them an opportunity to change their style while sliding comfortably into a city that's changed considerably since the last time he was here.

He's been there. He's done that. His experience set him apart from all the other offensive coaches they interviewed.

And while his background is different than the guys who held the job before him, his personality makes him a fit here. Reich is understated, he's calm, but he exudes the gravity and leadership the job demands.

This tells me that Tepper couldn't give a rat's ass about Wilks' lawsuit and was only focused on getting a new Head Coach no matter what.

That may depending on who's available that will be willing to compete for the starting spot. They will most certainly add another rookie to the room and Fitterer will not play that 2 vet competition bs again because Tepper will not allow it. This is about to get interesting.

I don't hate Wilks. I think he did an admirable job. I just don't think his philosophy can build a consistent winner in today's NFL. The most telling stat, IMO, is that he went 1-4 when the opposing team scored first (with the one win being the 10-7 snoozer in week 18 vs the Saints). Ground and pound is great when you take a 7-10 point lead, but when others teams can score first or quickly, you need to have a counterpunch, and I just don't think Steve's mentality on that side of the ball will bring that.
