    I’m a solid play caller in Madden. As long as you like going for it every single 4th down no matter what, we’re gonna make a great team.

    Quite frankly, even with red flags, I don’t think candidates can afford to be picky. There are only 5-6 openings for HC positions in the NFL every year. This is one of the most prestigious and well paid positions in the world. Waiting out a year could result in your momentum crashing so it’d be a huge risk to wait it out

      What kind of candidates are you referring to? Because quality candidates can absolutely choose to be picky. Ben Johnson is regarded as one of the most sought after HC candidates this upcoming offseason, he interviewed for the Panthers job last season and ultimately decided to stay in Detroit.

      And a different angle about momentum crashing, a prospective HC can crash their value by going to a dysfunctional franchise that results in a short stint and spits them back out to being a coordinator or position coach. Sure they’ll get the guaranteed money from the initial HC contract, but with their reputation damaged, they’ll have lost their earning power in subsequent HC contracts.

        Sought after HCs don’t always turn out to be good HCs tho. Adam Gase was a sought after HC. So was Hue Jackson at one point. It really doesn’t track, which is why teams miss on coaching hires all the time.

    It would be a job well suited to someone like Meyer or Hackett or McDaniels who could set themselves up financially if they got a 6 or 7 year contract which would have to be settled on dismissal.

      That’s what Houston had to do after the Lovie and Culley one and done years. Demeco got a 6 year contract to do what he needs to do.

      Something tells me Tepper is still gonna fuck it up regardless of who he picks

    I get the feeling at some point there’s going to be a Scooby Doo situation and we’ll remove Tepper’s mask to find Dan Snyder underneath.

    “this guy might fire you after 6 months and then you’ll get paid $30m to do nothing”

    This is a warning I would ignore

    Just imagine you’re a billionaire team owner, and you hire a coaching staff that wants to draft CJ Stroud, but for some reason you override their pick and instead draft a guy who scored better on a written test and low and behold it backfires. I never understood why team owners hire professionals who know the sport better than they can pretend to and then try to tell them how to do the job.

      Snyder: Literally trafficked and prostituted his cheerleaders, gave expired food to fans, allowed shit water to fill the stadium and rain on people

      Tepper: Fires a head coach that has shown 0 improvement

      Somehow the same thing

        This. As far as the Panthers go, if he is guilty of anything it’s wanting to win REALLLLYY badly, and having absolutely ZERO idea on how to make it happen.

        For real it’s getting ridiculous. Has Tepper shown himself to be a good owner? No, but his failings as an owner are tied to him hiring the wrong guys. He hires the right guys and that pretty much solves all the issues.

        Also, especially when you look at other situations around the league where you have cheap owners holding onto shitty HCs because of the money (looking at you Spanos) it’s nice that Tepper isn’t one of those guys.

    And this is why the media is dumb and people watch random youtubers for sports talk. The most prestigious coaches will probably turn him down, but the Texans had a couple 1 and dones and still got a coach. Oh no, they don’t have a 1st round pick. Sean Payton took the Broncos job without a first round pick. Oh no, Bryce is a bust. I’m willing to bet that Bryce isn’t a bust but I am a panthers fan so I’m a homer. I’m confident he’s going to start playing better now that Reich is gone and the panthers will win more games in their final 6 than they won in their first 11. They’re nowhere near as bad as Reich made them look. I think the narrative will be that wow Reich really was bad and Tepper wasn’t a moron to fire him. Tepper should remove himself from interfering in other ways, but the firing was deserved and he’ll have little trouble finding a new head coach that will actually be willing to try something different when his scheme isn’t working

      To be fair if they had just stuck you on the sideline doing absolutely nothing we would probably have the same record
