Anybody still not on board?

[Mr. Scot]

There were complaints and criticism from some posters when it was announced that Frank Reich was the choice at head coach.

I'm curious whether that still exists or if those who questioned the decision have come around...

[Bear Hands]

I'll own that I really wanted Ben Johnson, but gotta admit-- I HIGHLY doubt we would have been able to pull such a diverse staff from an experience standpoint with some of the other candidates.  

Reich's staff has such a good blend of up and comer (Staley, Evero, McCown, Hansen) and experience+success (Caldwell, Campen, Capers, Tabor)

Add on a promising OC and we've got ourselves one hell of a coaching staff.

I’m 100% on board no question about it. Just hope we get a QB competent enough to benefit from the coaching additions. This staff could look very different in 2 years. I don’t think you put a staff like this together without the idea/commitment that you’re getting a QB ready to win now.

But, but, but Steve Wilks is from Charlotte 

[PizzaTheHutt]

I'm loving the moves. I would have been OK with Wilkes but I'm so excited and curious to see an actually offensive-oriented Panthers team. We know the D is going to be OK. If we can match that intensity and creativity on the offense and solve the QB dilemma, the NFC South is ours for the forseeable future.

Then again I've always been known to get high off of my own supply of hopium.

The staff hired is impressive.  Appears Tepper has gone 360 the other way 

I was at Maryland when both Boomer and Frank were there…impressive they both actually attended class   It is difficult to not like Frank.

anyone who has followed the Panthers from the beginning is probably shell shocked. We have heard ‘the next great thing’ multiple times 

I trust Reich to make the right qb evaluation, particularly since he has staff around him to give varying opinions    As example,   I am no fan of Levis, frightening that he reminds me of Wentz, but if that is who they choose, that’s who they choose 

bottom line, have to win.

I'm genuinely curious how much of the staff, being so experienced and diverse, was Fitts and Morgan part of selecting and not just Reich. If they are somewhat involved it helps boost my confidence in our FO duo that Rhule really was holding them back.

This is by far the most competent and complete coaching staff we've ever assembled.

Pretty sure it's all Reich.

Head coaches just about always get to choose their own staff.

Question about the minority draft picks for coaches/FO staff.. 

If Evero is hired to be a HC next year do we receive a comp pick for him?

No. A coach must be with a team for two seasons to qualify the team to receive comp picks. Found that out when Steelers hired Flores.

It is. I'm sure Fitterer and Morgan are beating the bushes to come up with a solid list for Frank to choose from as well. 

[Jon Snow]

Well I was one that thought we should have hired Reich before he went to the Colts.  So of course I'm OK with it. He was a perfect fit then and I will maintain he is a perfect fit now. Will he be the answer at HC for years to come? I do not know. I think he has the best resume of the folks we've interviewed save maybe, maybe Caldwell.  So yeah, I'm on board until he proves my faith unjustified. 

[Mr. Scot]

This sure as hell ain't "The Process"
