I love how some folks use the term “retread” whenever it’s suitable to their interests.  Please define the term for me so I’m more clear.

Bill Belichick - retread?

Jim Harbaugh - retread?

Andy Reid was a retread, correct?

Pete Carroll?

Doug Peterson?

Bruce Arians?

Mike McCarthy?

Bill Parcells?

Sean Payton?

So basically someone with previous head coaching experience that once got fired is a “retread”?  

(That’s a lot of Super Bowl champion “retreads” listed above, FYI)

Pretty well established and widely-accepted that retread is used as a slight pejorative towards a middling, replacement-level type of coach whose teams don't tend to stnad out over time. I can't comment about every usage you're thinking of but no, those guys you list would not be retreads. I'd argue that Quinn is a bit above that level (and Pederson above that) but still not someone that would be near the top of my list for a new coach.

Sorry but all of those listed were retreads at the time.  

Andy Reid was fired by the Eagles in 2013 (replaced by Chip Kelly lol) and then hired by the Chiefs (replacing Romeo Crennel lol).

You are incorrect, but as I clearly explained the definition and my position I honestly don't care enough to discuss it futher. If you can't/won't the distinction between the names on your list and guys like Frank Reich then that's on your side. That's not to say that someone like Belichick has anything left in the coaching tank if he goes somewhere else, but that class of coach gets the benefit of the doubt. Everything comes to an end at some point.

The Panthers might be making a mistake by assuming an OC is the best choice because our offense is so bad.  First of all, with Fox and even Rivera, we had good offenses and stout defenses.  Is Bryce going to win shoot outs or should be keep him in games by giving him short fields and turnovers?  A defensive coach knows more about offenses that an offensive coach in theory because he must plan vs. different kinds of offenses every week.  An offensive coordinator knows one offense well, and his challenge is to attack where he thinks the defense might be vulnerable.  I am not sure that a defensive head coach and offensive coordinator are not the best combination for the overall offense because the defensive head coach can challenge the offensive coach during meetings and film sessions.  He can reveal where the defense is vulnerable....Not sure about this, but an offensive coach and an offensive coordinator may not be able to see behind the curtain as well.   Just a theory and I have not thought a lot about it, but I have coached and remember the exchanges during film sessions.

I don’t see my guy on there….I want Vrabel

But does Vrabel want Carolina?

He just started interviewing so it's possible there is still time to figure that out.

I think it's pretty clear there isn't mutual interest with Belichick or Harbaugh since they are both taking second interviews at this point.

Yeah I agree almost no chance he will come here but I am hoping

voted Raheem Morris. I think he's kind of the safest bet because he's already had some success as a head coach, then a bit of a unique situation and he lost his gig. he's had a bunch of years to think about what he can do better, and he's still relatively young. everyone speaks highly of him (have for years now), and he can get players' respect. as good a starting point as any. and I imagine he has good contacts throughout the league to build a formidable staff (that will succeed as one, unlike others we could mention).

I want Ben Johnson

 

But I'll gladly settle on Frank Smith because I thing he's more realistic

20 years of coaching 

Coached almost every position group

Worked with several winning organizations(Mcvay/Shanahan/McDaniels tree)

Extensive history of coaching O-line (big plus for me)

Part of a NFL record setting offense

Well liked by players and coaches across the league

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make it happen Nicole!!!

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
