Desirability of the HC job

[AU-panther]

I know a lot of the so-called fans are hoping for the worst possible outcome, just so they criticize Tepper more, so you have this narrative that we won't be able to attract a top coach, but the fact is these jobs are rare.  

Is there always a chance there are a few certain coaches that might not want to coach here, maybe, but that can happen with other teams also.  Either way they should be able to come up with some qualified candidates.   The important part is picking the correct one.

Luckily some in the national media understand this:

Give me Ben Johnson as HC, Mark Brunell as OC, and keep Evero as DC and Tabor as special teams coordinator. Use your Billions and pull out the checkbook and make it happen Tepper.

The first thing to always remember is that Head Coaches have BIG EGOs.  Aspiring to the position means believing that YOU are the difference maker.  The role of other people is to give you what you want.  The Panthers job is one where you are going to be paid well and get what you want.  All you have to do is win.  And with a BIG EGO, why would you doubt YOU are going to win if given everything you want?

Rhule and Ron were given time, Frank not so much because in reality this was year 6 for him. I think we finally tear everything up and hire a GM and then hire the coach so everyone is on the same page from the get go.

Tepper was more than patient with Rhule then he should have been.

We are basically going to have to n pray that whoever takes this job is some kind of hidden genius.

Honestly I would be ok with taking a stab on the “middle of the road” hire. Find the guy that works for you, not who espn wants to sell as a story line.

Hoping for failure or just expecting more of the same?

It's looking like a circus already. I would love to say Ben Johnson would save us but he already walked before firing the HC 10 games into his first season. That's hard to imagine even if I still wish it.

Also the link never mentioned any names specifically. 'A lot of people'. Greg Olsen so far came out as one. So who are the other people? Harbaugh seems like an obvious name even if he had his call with Tepper last year that didn't go far. Lots of certainty yet not one name yet.

Here are some names thrown around from Josh Klein according to Vegas…I like MacDonald as a young dark horse.

I think the plan is to keep fittererrererer, tabor(hes rumored to step down as HC at seasons end, but remain ST), and evero. Basically a whole new offense staff. The guy thats willing to do that will not be of the jim harbaugh or bill Belichick level. It will be some new lackey/tepper yes man. Plus you have to fix byce young........

Thats one giant mess of issues and BS.

 The only other solution is total wipe.

I also heard that this coaching staff was the highest paid in the NFL.

No salary Cap in coaches Tepper will just have to dump even more money on a candidate (nobody's turning down 100m guerenteed)

It probably was the highest paid and one reason Tepper probably was upset with how things have gone. Reich said in his presser thanks for Dave for allowing him to go out and hire who he wants because money was no object for the staff.

What I heard is no new HC will take less than a 6 year contract, given teppers quick draw....... at least the smart and most wanted ones........

I have a hard time beliving Johnson wants to come here when he has his pick. I agree about MacDonald and he seems more reasonable expectstion. Not excited outside of Slowik maybe.

They would still have to sign up for the Tepper show. Who they can potentially get and who would come here is why I asked who the people the reporter was so excited and sure about. I get people would take the job but realistically there are 2 on that list i would like to see and I wouldn't hold my breath on one already.

He's burned over 100m in guarantees to Rhule and Reich...

I hope he let's an agency handle it.. but I'm sure he will have to back up the brinks truck
