Does this have anything to do with CJ proving they drafted the wrong QB with the top fucking pick!?

Speaking as an old Oilers fan, I applaud his downfall.

[–] RukiMotomiya@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's been less than one year. They need to calm the fuck down lol

[–] BoopasaurusRex_____@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If you’ve been watching us this year—and if you have I apologize for your eyes— then you know he could def be gone this year. It’s been abysmal.

[–] COOGER_AND_DARK@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The number of coaches who fail upward is insane. I can understand wanting to give someone a chance. Every HC has to start somewhere after all. But these guys who get a second chance for no tangible reason blow my mind. I'd rather take a gamble on an unknown quantity.

[–] itsmrlowetoyou@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Imagine a coach being fired mid season and immediately being hired after one year. Like the dude didn’t join another team and learn something new. The reason he was fired in Indy is the same reason he will be fired in Carolina.

[–] Pattychanmam@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Please please yes

[–] Old-butt-new@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Idk wtf they were thinking hiring that clown

[–] cpolk01@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Since the arguments against him are pretty clear, I will say that we knew he wouldn't be winning us games, at least not yet. He's here for Bryce. I could go either way on him, on the one hand he has been bad so far, on the other, as long as he's helping Bryce we should hold on to him

[–] B1G_Fan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, the evidence is mounting that it doesn’t matter who the head coach and GM is if you have a bad owner

Take it from someone who would have a Lions/Browns dual flair if Haslem wasn’t such an idiot to sign Watson…although Shelia seems to have righted the ship at least somewhat…

are they actually considering firing him? He drafted a potential franchise qb and had nothing around him for weapons. What is he supposed to do this quick. Young is still adjusting to the nfl

[–] Lorjack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really doubt he'd be canned after just the one year. It doesn't really make sense he just got his franchise QB

[–] OSUfirebird18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah so we all thought Frank Reich was good! But in all reality it was actually Andrew Luck and Philip Rivers dragging the team kicking and screaming to the playoffs?! 🤔

[–] Raiden21x3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don't worry Panthers fans, you guys can get Aaron Glenn to replace him and he'll reunite with his bro Duce.

[–] Steady_Ballin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My 4th favorite Reich

[–] moreMalfeasance@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Frank Reich is the Carson Wentz of coaches

[–] blazingpelt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

they need him gone before he has to coach a game in Germany and all the viewers wonder why the fuck they keep calling the guy on the sideline "France"

[–] Rad1314@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No shame in being a coordinator Frank. Or even going to college level to actually learn how to be a HC.

[–] Nienazki@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We warned you and ya'll didn't listen.

[–] ozairh18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t believe I was tricked into thinking Reich was a good hire

[–] dagreenman18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Turns out the QB whisperer was whispering nonsense. But who would you even get to replace him?

I hear McDaniels is available...

[–] monsterofthedeep3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If they do he’ll probably still get a third head coaching offer. A Third Reich team would be a mistake.

[–] rug1998@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It hasn’t been one year, look at his run with the colts too

[–] EOEtoast@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't watch much football or know who he is but fuck it, get rid of him.

[–] AdhesivenessFun2060@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not syaing Reich is some great coach but firing him after one year with the situation he was given is going to make the job very unattractive. Who's going to feel confident that they'll get to build a team if you're going to get canned after 1 year? If it does happen, they better nail FA because they don't have a 1 next year.

No give him 2 more years and then decide.

Damn y’all give HC and players zero time to develop

[–] alphadips@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He fuckin better be

[–] jvstnmh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t really pay attention to the Panthers.

I know they’ve only won one game but is the coaching really that bad?

Are they at least playing hard or showing that they believe in Reich as a coach?

[–] SilentSonOfAnarchy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A Falcons fan posted this after Arthur Smith’s 5 minute monologue about why Bijan isn’t getting more touches. Classic.

[–] TouchMyNub@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Baby come back 🎶

[–] captaincrunk82@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“Yes”

Germany, 1940

[–] SaysShowUsYourDick@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everytime I see the name Frank Reich I think I’m on a history sub for a second lol

[–] sdust182@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If he does get fired, I hope the eagles bring him back as OC.

[–] A-Rusty-Cow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anything is possible - Magic Johnson

[–] Ill_WillRx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s not a good coach. I’ve been wondering how he’s been getting jobs for years.

[–] MrMcSpanky94@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why the fuck did they even hire him? Seriously

[–] Marjorine22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is not the problem. At least IMO. Is he the second coming of Lombardi? Probs not.

Seems like the owner and whoever he chose to pick the talent is the problem. Because they have none. Should Reich get fired? IDK. I am not in that building. But it won't solve anything.

Also, every week that Stroud looks like Manning in year 3 and Young looks like Ryan Leaf, it is going to be unpleasant for everyone in the franchise. Whether that is fair or not doesn't matter.

[–] UndeadVinDiesel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well the original Frankreich was gone in 6 weeks after Germany.

So history says yes.

[–] wordmanword@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

PLEASE!!! Don't mind losing. Just don't want to lose and be forced to watch whatever he is sending onto the field every Sunday.

[–] King_Edge71@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really sure why he was hired to begin with

I'm of the opinion that Fitterer should be the first to go.

[–] Millera34@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shouldn’t have been hired..every fan knew that but these owners have…preferred people is how ill put it

[–] Antilia-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Granted the panthers have horrible luck, but I thought Reich was a good coach? Was Andrew Luck really the secret the whole time?

[–] voyagerx420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That would be dumb as fuck. Reich is a good coach who has been out in very difficult situations.

[–] Tight_Ad3092@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, the roster sucks. But they beat us. So that clearly means Young > Stroud

[–] Walks_with_Chaos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He hasn’t looked great but I’m opposed to only giving one year.

[–] andyouarenotme@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If it’s true that ownership forced the top pick, then I can’t help but feel awful for Reich — who had Luck retire on him and now this.

[–] Exatraz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like it's unfair to heap all the blame onto Reich when Young has not been good so far. IMO GM should be far more under fire for scouting these two QBs and coming away with Young being the easy choice. Seems like rumors coming up to the draft is at least some FOs saw Stroud very highly (iirc that was why HOU's owner barged in and forced them to draft him at the last minute is because teams like Tenn were considering trading up to grab him at 3). Now, I haven't been watching a lot of Panthers games this year so maybe there are other signs of bad coaching and management, but it feels like most topics about the Panthers stem from lack of talent.
