1.Will there be changes to the defensive staff?

This also could potentially be worded: How pervasive will the changes to the defensive staff be? David Tepper notably retained Frank Reich’s entire defensive staff for Canales — led by Ejiro Evero, who was blocked by Tepper from interviewing for other coordinator positions. Tepper has stayed behind the scenes during the seventh consecutive losing season since he bought the team. But it’s hard to envision Tepper running it back with the same defensive staff, which didn’t have ties to Canales in the first place. The Panthers already have established franchise highs for rushing yards (2,830) and points (496) allowed, and will finish among the worst teams in NFL history in both categories. Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn said early-season injuries — to Pro Bowl defensive end Derrick Brown and linebacker Shaq Thompson — hurt the defense’s chemistry

2.How can Morgan best help Young this offseason?

 

3. Will the Panthers pay both corners?

 

4. Are the Panthers about to turn over their specialists group?

Those four items read like clickbait titles.

It's nothing short of horrifying that it was written as if it's a foregone conclusion that all of the coaching staff decisions are Tepper's alone. If he keeps doing this we're going to keep losing.

Let Morgan be the GM. If he fails fire him and try again. Let Canales be the HC. If he fails fire him and try again. But stay the fug out of the football decisions behind that.

I wish he'd let Canales and Morgan make the choice on the D side...I mean they're the ones whose job is at risk if the D doesn't make a turnaround (in the long term, multiple seasons way - short term they're obviously safe as long as the team overall starts improving )

I hit submit too soon. I went back and added some more. In short, yes. LOL
