Oooohh how about Spanos Keep the renters in mediocrity hahaFrank Reich lasted a total of just 11 games in his 1st season coaching the Panthers.
Even Urban Meyer lasted 13 games; and he didn't even know the names of the players ... on his Own Team!!!
So Frank Reich has now worked for Jim Irsay and David Tepper. I got to believe Mark Davis will be calling.
Yeah, I'd say Quinn and Johnson def tops with a couple other guys I'm not sure of to round out the top 3. Prob offensive guys as there's a trend in the league towards offensive coaches so you don't have your QB (often a draft pick) relearning a new offense every other year when guys get promoted.Who will be the top candidates this offseason?
My guess is the top two guys are Quinn from Dallas and Johnson from Detroit.
After that? I don't know.
I think Morris will be very attractive to a lot of teams.. but he's not a flashy hire, at all. If the D keeps it up and the Rams make the playoffs.. he should absolutely get a job.
And I'd kill for Evero back if that happens.
Here in Seattle Waldron is the devil and the scapegoat for all Seahawk issues.I'm thinking Shane Waldron is going to get some looks
Well, David Tepper is the wealthiest owner in the NFL, however, when you combine Stan Kroenke (15.7) & his Wife Ann Walton Kroenke (9.2), they are at 24.9 Billion, trumping Tepper who stands at 20.9 billion.You would have to think Carolina would be at the bottom of the list of teams any potential HC would want to go. Teller will have to pay overs to get his man.
I get the sense that Reich is well regarded in the NFL. I doubt he gets a HC job this cycle. But I wouldn't be shocked if he did.Frank Reich lasted a total of just 11 games in his 1st season coaching the Panthers.

It's rare you get a 3rd opportunity, there have been some like Norv Turner & Wade Phillips for example, however, they had a better overall record then Reich, plus Reich is now 61 so I could see him as a high profile OC.I get the sense that Reich is well regarded in the NFL. I doubt he gets a HC job this cycle. But I wouldn't be shocked if he did.
I expect him to reach for an OC of an established offense because of his need to be proven right with the QB he drafted. And he'll probably hire someone iffy, like Mike LaFleur.So Tepper paid a ton of money for a College Head Coach in Matt Rhule, then shocked everyone when he hired Frank Reich. Where do the Panthers go now? A couple of hot coordinators seem to be where one would go. Two that jump out are Offensive Coordinator Bobby Slowick or Mike Macdonald Ravens Defensive Coordinator.
One would think with a young QB, you would want an offensive coach, but you just fired one. Macdonald has worked with both Harbaugh's plus has run upper tier defenses, but I am sure it will be predicated on who his offensive coordinator would be.
Former head coaches on the rebound are often very good when they go back to coordinator. I expect Frank will settle in for whoever hires him and do a great job. He's one of those rare OCs who loves balance.It's rare you get a 3rd opportunity, there have been some like Norv Turner & Wade Phillips for example, however, they had a better overall record then Reich, plus Reich is now 61 so I could see him as a high profile OC.
Guy is a very very highly respected OC. Though it does seem like he could have done more to help out Bryce. Still, not a lot of talent to work with on that offense.Former head coaches on the rebound are often very good when they go back to coordinator.

And I agree he won't be getting any more HC attention.
LaFleur doesn't call the plays and the McVay sizzle has cooled recently, so I see the Panthers going for an OC that has a track record of calling plays or some success with a young QB like Slowik in Houston or Brian Johnson with the Eagles.I expect him to reach for an OC of an established offense because of his need to be proven right with the QB he drafted.

Sound reasoning Den. But Tepper is a moron.LaFleur doesn't call the plays and the McVay sizzle has cooled recently, so I see the Panthers going for an OC that has a track record of calling plays or some success with a young QB like Slowik in Houston or Brian Johnson with the Eagles.
But I also believe Mike Macdonald DC of the Ravens, who looks like a Harbaugh, might be too good for Tepper to pass up.

Bobby Slowik and the South love their coaches named Bobby.Also and btw the dude in Houston is getting one of these HC jobs. That's written already I think.
If the Lions keep it up, their OC too.Also and btw the dude in Houston is getting one of these HC jobs. That's written already I think.
