But I do agree somewhat and see where you're coming from. Richardson is a smart guy and probably understands that a coach can operate the team along with Hurney separate from all of the CBA hooplah. Its understandable he's looking longterm without letting all of the owner-players union stuff cloud his judgement.

I'm just getting frustrated that they haven't reached an agreement yet. But heck, maybe our organization is the best suited for a year off.

I get the impression that both sides are working hard on getting a deal done for a new CBA. Their media comments are just ocasional frustration with the process. I would get a little anxious being locked in a room of lawyers for hours at a time also.

Reprinting an earlier post, quoting the beat writers...

Not that he won't coach here, they won't hire him. RT @jis2cool Why do you think Cowher won't coach us!? Offer proof or I don't believe you.

Fans are going to clamor for a big-name coach like Jon Gruden or Bill Cowher, but the Panthers have been down that road before with George Seifert and it was a disaster. However, if the Panthers could persuade Tony Dungy out of retirement, he might be an exception to the rule.

Still, I get an overriding sense from those in the organization that owner Jerry Richardson will go with a hot offensive or defensive coordinator prospect or possibly take a chance on a college coach.

Steve Reed (Gaston Gazette)

Don’t get your hopes too high on big names. If Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden or Tony Dungy want to coach, it will be elsewhere. With the labor situation likely to still be unsolved, Richardson is not going to pay the kind of money one of the big names would command.

He was burned by that once before when he hired George Seifert. Besides, a big-name coach isn’t necessarily what the Panthers need right now. They’ve got a fan base that’s not very happy and they need a coach who will bring in fresh air and also be a bit of a cheerleader.

Pat Yasinskas (ESPN Blog)

Fowler and Sorenson have said the same. As I recall, Charles Chandler did as well. Not sure Joe Person has ever commented. If he did, i missed it.

All of these guys have access to people within the organization, including Jerry Richardson.

Should we believe they're all wrong?

Yeah, when you put all of those sources together, it makes sense Cowher is a long long shot, considering these are a few of the already limited reporters with minimal access in our organization. It just makes sense to have a young energetic guy in the end and hopefully that is what our FO is thinking.

McDermott is still one of my favs at the moment but his red zone defense is slightly troublesome. I'm not gonna hope for anyone in particular because the younger candidates are all exciting and present a great amount of potential: Harbaugh, Moss, McDermott, & Schottenheimer

Actually, they have seen prior coaches coming, and they've seen roster moves coming before we did as well.

It's pretty tough to defend the notion that fans on a message board know as much or more than the beat writers who actually have access to people inside the organization on a regular basis. Especially so given that nearly everything we know comes from them.

If you're a Cowher or Gruden fan, feel free to hope. But if I were you, I'd prepare for disappointment.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
