Reich New Head Coach

[Davidson Deac II]

Reality is that the vast majority of NFL coaching hires don't win the big game. But Reich's experience and somewhat decent previous results give him a better chance than most, if he gets the right group of players

Nine wins will be better than the usual I guess.

If the worst we could do is 9 wins a season brother I will take that anytime.  Add 2 or 3 wins to that and you are in the playoffs every season.  With nine wins every season you are always in contention.

I don't hate Steve Wilks; what I hate is the borderline obsession a portion of this fan base has with him and the "smash mouth" style he represents.

It's not 1995 anymore, folks. I remember when the fans complained non-stop about "Foxball" and wanted a modern NFL offense. Nowadays Matt Rhule has folks so shell-shocked they're begging to go right back to it.

Reich was far from my first choice (Steichen) but my priority was getting an offensive-minded HC and he does fit that.

the "leader of men" marker got a bit cheesy as well

I sincerely hope our FO is smarter than to double down on an already awful decision.

It's only temporary. Anyone brought in will only start until one of the rookies are ready.

Don't forget the qb coach.  I'm very interested in seeing who that will be as well.

I believe that Reich will be able to get a lot of top notch, asst. coaches and that is one reason I was on board for the Panthers to select him.

I agree. And why would folks be excited to go back to “smash mouth” football that has never produced back to back winning seasons here?

I wonder what the contract details will be.

To those of you bitchin - at least it isn't Wilks.  And give the guy a chance for god's sake.  I bet Patriots fans were pissed when B Kraft originally hired Bellicheat.

VERY interested to see how he plans to deploy the offense.  Is he going to craft it & play-call? Or is he going to find a younger guy to run with one built around his framework?  And who would that be.  

His role in our offense & the OC hire becomes mission critical now.  Hopefully he has some good dudes in mind.

To be honest I’m hiring a talented up and coming minority OC we gotta start trying to use those hiring rules to our advantage. The whole reason most wanted an offensive minded HC is if we lose our OC to a HC gig we wouldn’t skip a beat
