Is anyone else confused why Raheem Morris is being so widely talked about as some hot candidate? He wasn't great his first go around and just seems underwhelming. His Rams defense is pretty middle of the pack, it makes no sense other than it being a Rooney Rule candidate.

Every few years, the NFL latches on to a  favorite Rooney Rule candidate that nobody takes all that seriously but who helps teams check off the boxes.

That might be Morris these days.

Morris seems like 1 of the 2 Rooney Rule interviews. It looks like they will need another unless one of the other 8 candidates is biracial like Mike McDaniel.

I don't think Evero or TB would count since they are internal candidates (if they even get interviews).

Reminder: Today (Wednesday, January 10th) is the first day the Panthers can have virtual interviews with candidates employed by other clubs but are NOT participating in Wild Card weekend.

That means we might hear about virtual interviews for:

  • Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan
  • Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald
  • Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken

The other 6 candidates cannot have virtual interviews until Tuesday of next week.

  • Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson
  • Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik
  • Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn
  • Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith
  • Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris
  • Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales

Also, the team can interview internal candidates and candidates not employed by an NFL club (Harbaugh and Vrabel) at any time.

I keep seeing these numbers gurus with little scouting experience on these GM lists. Absolutely do not want someone with that background. If it isn’t someone with a wealth of successful talent evaluation(pro and college), hard pass.

Who cares about cap tricks if you are using them to retain Ian Thomas or draft TMJ?

Who cares if we can interview them from today?

We don't currently have a GM, so who is conducting said interviews? Nicole?

If their name isn't Harbaugh or Belichick, then we need to hire someone who hasn't been a HC. 

I hated the Frank Reich hire because the idea of hiring someone who was fired mid-season the year before is ridiculous. 

Belichick wouldn't win here, but my hope is he could knock some sense into Tepper and get him out of the FO decisions.

Vrabel is a better candidate than Belicheck at this point.

Maybe that outside firm?

Edit: I would imagine the Tepper's and Morgan are in some stage of interviews, probably this initial one.

Yup. Vrabel has proven he can coach. You still have to have talent at the end of the day and outside of the Panthers, the Titans have whiffed badly in recent years. I don’t think Tepper would call because Vrabel would beat his ass the second he tried to tell him how to do something football related.

I snooped around what I could find on some of these guys finally and gotta say, McDonald gives me the best feeling about being a HC.  

I know we need to build an offense but he just seems like a guy who's got long term, successful coach written all over him.  

What he did with that defense this year was all-time modern era special (getting the defensive triple crown).  Madubuike was absolutely dominant this year.  He was a guy I really liked in his draft but had a slow burn.  Showed flashes last year and became a top DL in 2023. 

Also, check out any interview of him, the guy just has a solid way about him.  Doesn't seem a BSer, straight to the point, but has a very positive, energetic presence.  I see why John Harbaugh likes him, similar in a few ways.

I’m fairly certain Vrabel to NE is already a done deal. You don’t let a guy like Belichick leave without a solid plan behind him. And a guy like Vrabel will have options. I’d like the Panthers to interview him (maybe you end up with Vrabel and Arthur Smith getting the band back together somewhere) but I don’t see it happening on the Panthers. My wildcard is Vrabel going to the Chargers.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
