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.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
