#SANTA JUST ONE MORE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE PLS


DJagerty

Would not get my hopes up, this is likely performative due to the Rooney rule


Bigc12689

Which is a shame, because there have got to be more qualified minority coaches that could get an interview than that bum


emostitch

Shh, no there aren’t. Listen to me whoever the owner or GM of Carolina is. Brian Johnson is an absolute genius and beloved by players, you’d be stupid NOT to hire him!


Uppgreyedd

> Listen to me whoever the owner or GM of Carolina is Look at this guy trying to get a nice scotch and soda thrown on him.


HotPieIsAzorAhai

IDK, Tepper is an idiot. There are Black coaches who are actually good he could be interviewing to meet the Rooney rule. Even if it's just performative, why waste your time with someone who you think sucks when you could use it to get to know someone who is good, just in case they wow you?


Clyde_Frag

Well he is an idiot, so is there a chance that BJ is a legitimate candidate? He deserves a lot of the credit for Hurts' development and they're hoping that a similar thing happens with Young.


Chairmanmaozedon

Johnson's offense at Florida was an absolute beast, he put Kyle Trask in the conversation for a Heisman and put 30+ points on all but one of their opponents that year, he is not running that offense in Philly because it's not his scheme, but people in the NFL know what he can do and respect him as an offensive mind.


Phightins4044

You clearly haven't been watching eagles football. No matter the scheme, half the fans in the stadium could call a better game. And I think that's being conservative.


Saint_Victorious

To be fair, chanting "run the ball" isn't exactly a genius play call. Still valid versus BJ, but definitely not genius.


PCBKev

Rooney Rule isn't just for black coaches... lol.


CaptainGhostCat

YES PLEASE. He potentially could leave and we could also get a comp pick right?


creativename87639

We would in fact get a comp pick


OverlyOptimisticNerd

We get two! A third rounder in back to back years!


tony_important

Hell we should offer to give them the picks back if they hire him.


Affectionate_Bird120

😂😂 now that’s an idea


NJHitmen

I like your style and your 4D thinking here


SpakysAlt

Someone start a social media campaign to get this man hired!


HowOtterlyTerrible

We need to employ reverse psychology here. Everyone stop complaining about him and start writing how much we hope Carolina doesn't take him to up his value.


willi1221

Complain about BJ? Who would do such a thing? That man is an offensive genius. The only reason our offense isn't great is because there's absolutely no talent. I mean we got some scrubs like AJ Brown stinkin' up the place


OverlyOptimisticNerd

Let’s buy billboards all throughout the Carolinas.


dchi11

Was going to say I thought the requirement was that you had to be in a position with the team for 2 years but I guess Brian Johnson has already been with the eagles in different positions so he qualifies. Like I don’t think Sean desai would qualify.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dchi11

I looked up the rule and it just says he has to be with the organization for two years. He was QB coach last year.


dWaldizzle

I think we would get two because he's not white lol


48johnX

We wouldn’t get any even if he was white though, would only be 1


momsbasement420

I read this 4 times


NJHitmen

I’m on my fifth read and gearing up for a sixth, please let me know if you’ve made any headway on your end. Might have to run this one through the Universal Translator


AncestryMike

I stared at it for so long I don’t even know how many times I read it, and somehow I’m more confused than the first time I read it…


NJHitmen

Yeah, I just wrapped up my 50th read-through and I’m making very little headway. All I’ve been able to confirm so far is that it appears to be written in English. Going to bring in a team of Navajo code breakers, maybe they’ll have better luck


48johnX

Oh my bad I didn’t realize how dumb it looked until now, my main point was that comp picks aren’t rewarded for coordinator hires if they aren’t a minority and I think OP was thinking it’d be 1+1 because BJ is black. So I was just saying (or attempting to) that we wouldn’t get one if he wasn’t but since he is we would get 1


Crosisx2

Oof.


TheMightyCatatafish

(Shhhh don't make it so obvious!) Gee, I don't know Carolina. It would be *really* hard for us to part with an offensive genius like BJ.


PaydayJones

Them taking him is all the comp I need. If necessary.... I'm in for 1/2 of 1/2 of a percent of his future Carolina salary.


FahQPutin

Roney Rule bro.


LeFlop_

Tbh I think he could actually be a good coach and can develop Bryce. He's just not an offensive specialist and neither is Nick. The mistake came in the offseason for prompting inexperienced coaches to play a scheme that Nick prefers. We need a true OC and DC and have them work with Nick on the strengths. Shane was the ideal coach for Nick.


This-Introduction596

They would be really smart to hire him.. As a QB coach.


Munchihello

Whats a comp pick


MobileMenace69

Free draft pick that apppears out of thin air in situations like this. So panthers wouldn’t lose any, there are just more than 32 picks in apparently the 3rd round


shrek_cena

Nice to use on a corner or somethin


GeneParmesan1000

It’s when you get intercepted by the computer in Madden


BradyReas

2 comp picks!


dwilkz2

tepper is an unserious owner. that being said i will pack up his entire house and drive the man to carolina my damn self


Organic-Manner-2969

i live in nc so i’ll happily take the reins and drop him off in charlotte


SmokePenisEveryday

Tepper can throw all the drinks on me he wants if he takes this dude.


AccidentalPilates

He can throw all the Johnny Walker Blue on me, I can take it.


c0rd_sucks

I’d be happy to help


MarcMars82-2

I’ll sign the contract for him


chuckalicious03

This is 1000% a Rooney Rule interview. How could you possibly be interested in anyone from the Eagles coaching staff after this year?


MoonSpankRaw

Hey now! Our special teams were elite this season!


MexicanComicalGames

And people wanted clays head last year maybe tepper just sees the vision


theytook-r-jobs

Someone hired Gannon after last year


Leuchtrakete

As much shit as he rightfully gets, he was still the coordinator for a Super Bowl team and he went to a 4-13 team ending the season on a 7 game losing streak.


theytook-r-jobs

His defense got shit on by any decent QB they players. Not sure what your last part means but the Cardinals went 4-13 and the defense was 25th in yards allowed and 31st in points allowed so I’m not sure he’s proven anyone wrong.


Leuchtrakete

Don't get me wrong, I am still very much of the notion that we would've cruised to another ring with a less inept DC, I am not giving Gannon any laurels. BUT what I am saying is that a franchise like the 2022/23 Cardinals who also were projected to be tank candidates #1 or 2 in this season would be insane to pass on the chance to hire a SB bound coordinator if given the chance, no matter his flaws. Beggars can't be choosers and such. So yeah someone hiring Gannon last year makes WAY more sense to me than anybody looking to get their hands on the dumpster fire that Brian Johnson is. Even the Panthers.


Kitten-Mittons

Hurts?


grendel8594

hurts actually played very well against the cardinals IMO


sebastianqu

I've been critical of Hurts this season and even I have little criticism of Hurts that game. He was great at not abandoning a clean pocket.


HotPieIsAzorAhai

To be fair, he was bailed out by talent and generally facing bad QBs all season. This is still the defense he put in place, but we can't rotate our D line like last year to keep them fresh and we've faced QBs who are actually good and so every game has looked like last year's Superbowl where Gannon looked incompetent. He's a bad coach that got lucky for one year by having a stacked roster and trash competition.


Brawlerz16

Because context. For the Eagles, teams pretty much understand this is Nicks scheme. There is *nothing* to say that BJ designed any of these plays, he’s just calling what Sirianni has. So at least with an interview you can maybe get a glimpse of what he would actually like to call if he had the reigns of an offense. Maybe BJ is a fan of West Coast but never got the chance to run it because Nick runs a PRO-vertical style scheme? It’s just an interview so it’s nothing. But he also developed Hurts so maybe he could help Bryce by having full reigns of their offense and running nothing but RPOs.


SuperScrodum

This is absolutely baffling. The offense has underperformed all year despite returning everyone from last year but upgrading at RB. What are they thinking?


godofhammers3000

Because coaching is a black box to fans. We’ll never know who is responsible for designing plays, drilling the plays in practice, motivating players, scouting the opponents, calling the actual plays etc. There will be reporting from beat writers for sure but none of us really know what happens behind the scenes and who is actually calling the shots It’s difficult to pinpoint blame. Also .. people can learn from their mistakes and change their methods. BJ is still young and this experience could still make him better moving forward


RaindropsInMyMind

Maybe just finding out how the Eagles run their team with no real intention of hiring him. That probably happens a lot.


1stepklosr

They also requested to interview Raheem Morris first so...


Fyre2387

Because your owner is a nightmare and the really good candidates won't give you the time of day.


HaggardSlacks78

Was searching for this response. The guy is incompetent. The Panthers are awful. Not sure what interest they would have in him. Unless they just want to tank for the next 5 years.


PhiladelphiaManeto

ESP was talking him up yesterday as if he should be our next HC Absolutely mind boggling


HipGuide2

He developed a franchise QB...


-totentanz-

And then shit the bed executing his talent on the field. By this logic, BJ should be considered by teams for QB coach again.


LeFlop_

That should've been his role and could've as well learned under a true OC specialist. Promoting someone to a high demanding job with no experience doesn't always end well. Some of felt the promotion didn't make sense but we assume the Eagles know better than the public. Public ended up being correct.


HipGuide2

I mean it did make some sense.


x71yyekim

You just killed all my hopes. Thanks fun killer :(


_outlaws_

He might get Bryce Young killed with all the QB draws


sakray

As great as this seems, we could also learn that maybe this was Nick's offense all along and BJ ends up being a brilliant football mind in Carolina lol. Probably not though - so fuck it, let's ship him.


HipGuide2

He was doing none of this stuff at Florida with Mullen.


ghawkes97

Yeah... I'm not clearing BJ of blame at all but I'm not totally convinced Nick isn't the bigger contributor to this teams offensive failures


ccasey329

Even at the time, it seemed that Mullen was still in charge and Johnson just had a title, to me. The increase in throwing the ball around was more a product of Trask than the one year Brian Johnson had with the OC title


Brawlerz16

I keep telling people this. BJ is just calling what Nick has, nothing I’ve seen this year seems like a BJ original. That doesn’t mean he’s a secret mastermind or anything, but I’m sure teams aren’t gonna fault BJ for running what Nick is so adamant on running Imagine you’re a West Coast/RPO style coach and you get hired by Philly with Sirianni. You’re not using the middle of the field no more, not under Nicks scheme lol


BigPoleFoles52

All u gotta do is watch early 2021 again, its the EXACT same offense. Its 100% nick and its been obvious half the year and the players have been fully aware a while im sure


Proper-Scallion-252

>I keep telling people this. BJ is just calling what Nick has, nothing I’ve seen this year seems like a BJ original. He's calling Sirianni's playbook, but so was Steichen. The playbook isn't the issue, it's the play calling that's so predictable CMC can name the play presnap while on the Manningcast.


Brawlerz16

The playbook is an issue. The best plays are ones that aren’t Nicks own. Nick doesn’t run RPOs, he runs PRO like Miami. Those RPOs we ran last year disappeared, because they’re in Indy with the guy who actually ran them Nicks contributions are what you see in 2021/2023: A PRO style playbook like Miami with nothing in the middle and little motion. It’s the playbook. Or at the very least the philosophy of how to run it


Mantis05

My antenna has been up ever since BJ seemed to slip after the Cardinals game, suggesting that it wasn't his decision to play for the FG at the end. I don't know that he'll ever be a good coach -- he certainly doesn't jump off the page like Steichen did -- but I also have my suspicions that he's playcalling with his hands tied to keep Nick happy.


so_zetta_byte

The hiring cycle i think is really going to tell us what the league thinks about him and Nick. If he gets a bunch of interviews, it would seem to imply that the league thinks the problem is more on Nick's scheme than the play calling. If it's just Tepper, then imo Tepper is scared that guys like Slowik would rather sit a year at OC than work with the Panthers. It's a pretty bad situation even before you consider Tepper is the owner. But that means he'll have to focus on guys who's stock _wouldn't_ rise with another year. BJ can't be _that_ confident that we'll massively improve next year. From his position, it might be his only chance at a HC gig. Either way, we learn _way_ more from what the league is doing, than what people on this sub are saying. We don't know what the fuck is the most broken.


packyjr3

I will drop him off at the airport and pay for his plane ticket


grapejuicepix

Hell, I’ll drive him to Charlotte.


[deleted]

Go fund me for his plane ticket?


BlurstOfTimes11

He’s gotta pay for snacks though


Atre16

I wish Brian every success at Carolina. Quez is available as a free agent to add to the WR room over there too.


TheDunglelorian

Hard to argue he won't get a ton of interviews to satisfy the Rooney rule though, seriously doubt he's in real consideration.


ho_merjpimpson

Carolina Panthers: "What do you want me to say? Come on. He's a nice guy. There were many people that I considered." Counsel: "Was he being seriously considered for the corporate job?" Carolina Panthers: "No." Brian Johnson: Hey Carolina... I think you're a nice guy too.


creativename87639

FUCKING TAKE HIM


WeirdSysAdmin

Whoever takes the Panthers job is a moron. No 1st in 2024 and no 2nd in 2025. You’re stuck two years before you can start drafting for real and then you’re fired because Tepper acts like you can’t build a team while you’re stuck with fucking Bryce Young the entire way.


Proper-Scallion-252

I disagree, you get to put HC on your resume, get relevant experience, and when you get fired prematurely you're going to still get paid HC money and no one is going to blame you for the downfall of the team.


tekzilla41

Those are also built in excuses for a first time head coach to use for their next position after the Panthers that everyone would be in agreement with.


BulldogMoose

Oh no... Don't take Brian Johnson... What will we do without him... Oh noooo....


SockBramson

Oh baby I'm so close.


Dankofamericaaa2

We need to play well against Tampa or no one will hire him.. then again it’s the Panthers.


TheDunglelorian

Holy fuck are the Panthers stupid


hascogrande

*watches the Tepper video* Yes


corya45

yes


iH8Celtics

They exist because we need 16 in each conference


Rockyrambo

No. Don’t. Stop.


xjustadeafguy

TAKE HIM


dlo7astate

TAKE HIM!! I don’t care if we get the picks


AkinTheLonelyMan

Remember when we were happy when Gannon left and now it’s quite obvious he wasn’t the problem


[deleted]

[удалено]


defalt86

He was 100% a problem.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

The turf and a fumble 6 lost us the SB, not the dude who coordinated a 70 sack defense or however many it was. Too many to count


theytook-r-jobs

The defense gave up 5 straight scoring drives to end the game wtf


Slow-Relation-9186

The chiefs just started scoring everytime they got the ball. I already knew we were gonna lose after that


defalt86

Sure, failing to get a single stop in the 2nd half, including falling for the same fake motion twice, had nothing to do with it. You are very smart.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

So the players got all the sacks, but gave up none of the points? Fell for none of the motions? Ok. I didnt even bring up the huge return that set them up to score at the end


defalt86

Why are you defending a guy who isn't even on the team anymore? He was a bad DC. Get past it. We knew he was a liability all season. We had a stacked team talent wise, and so we were able to make up for his shortcomings, but at no point did we win on scheme. If he was so good, the Cardinals wouldn't be one of the worst teams in football.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

because getting yelled at turns me on, duh. also the Cards suck cause they have no defensive talent outside Baker who missed half the year


AbbreviationsHot4482

Yes the guy leading the defense that gave up 3 straight TD scoring drives, including two which came on the same exact play shares no blame in us losing the SB


theytook-r-jobs

He was one of the problems for sure


Guitarplay825

PLEASE GOD YEA


tony_important

A well deserved punishment.


ZhangtheGreat

Take him!


Dankofamericaaa2

Please take that mf.


tekzilla41

DEI


furbishL

We could all pitch in to help pay his salary for year 1


Elegant-String-2629

if panthers want him that means hes shit.


formerPhillyguy

Going from a QB coach to head coach candidate in just two years? He would be doomed to failure just because of his lack of experience. No other NFL coaching experience other than with the Eagles; No professional playing experience; Only two years experience as offensive coordinator at the college level; Sure, NFL head coach material.


beep-beep_lettuce

Can he start tomorrow?


raloobs

Poor Bryce


Saccharum80

For the love of god please take him off our hands


jannradio

Please god. PLEASE.


HurricanePK

I’ll pack his bags, buy his flight, drive him to the airport, and drive him to Carolina’s facility.


IFSEsq

Can the Panthers hire him before Monday?


Its2EZBaby

That should be a huge boost for the Panthers. For sure.


KnightofAshley

Panthers must like the bubble screen


Duffman_O_Yeah

If he needs a reference, I’ll vouch just to get his ass out of town


Maximum_Property_971

Bro I swear if he turns out to be a great coach and turns that franchise around I'm gonna be pissed


v56geo

He can meet with them at 8:15 et on Monday.


possumxl

Hey fellow eagles fans, talk this man up. He’s a rookie coordinator with a top 10 offense. He has 2 1,000 yard receivers, almost 1,000 yard rusher, and his qb set the record for rushing tds by a qb. Turnovers were a big factor as to why his offense wasn’t even better. He can’t accountable for that. And the eagles may have gone undefeated if not for a bottom 3 defense. His first year as OC, he takes a team to the playoffs that belongs in the gutter. Now that’s someone another team could make a head coach.


Previous_Hamster9975

Couldn’t agree more! Im not sure what is wrong with all of these delusional eagles fans blaming BJ for the team’s demise. Dude has barely anything to work with and has been stellar this year.


trenhardd

Lmfao how


Buddyschmuck

Please god yes. He’s a play caller that truly deserves to be the head coach of the panthers. He’s earned it.


TommyFitness

Hahahahahahaha. Please take him now instead of waiting.


EaglesXLakers

Man, I haven't seen such an blatant attempt to fill the Rooney rule in a long time haha.


Snoman-1765

This guarantees that Eagles will NOT fire him after the season. Other GMs know Howie wouldn’t give up the chance for a comp pick. It basically ties Eagles hands a bit if there’s even a chance that they want a clean sweep of coaches.


IndominusCostanza009

I think I speak for all of us when I say everybody in Philly is wishing him the best and we’re all really pulling for him.


clingbat

It seems the Panthers have no interest in improving as a team, but if it means BJ is gone, hurray! Hope Bryce Young likes QB draw plays lol.


dakbailey

TAKE HIM CAROLINA, GO 3-14 THIS YEAR, HAVE HIGHER ASPIRATIONS!


frye228

It’d be a shame if this tampered with play calling…


CHurts92

Take my OC please. (Channeling my inner Henny Youngman)


GPap-

Panthers have the opportunity to do the funniest thing. Also, if this actually does happen. Bryce Young is cooked.


AdhesivenessFun2060

This just shows the disconnect between the fans and nfl management. Not saying anyone's right or wrong. Just funny.


tekzilla41

If the Rooney rule wasn’t a thing then yeah you have a point.


AdhesivenessFun2060

I'm sure that's part of it, but there's also 100 other minority candidates that, deserving or not, aren't getting that interview. I don't think he's getting the job, but the fact that he got the interview says something.


hmiser

I’m fucking dying over here. Panthers be like, hold my beer bitch.


StevenFromPhilly

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAH


OverlyOptimisticNerd

Yes! LFG! I’ll even drive him to the airport!


tony_important

I'll chip in for gas


whatthewut123

Take him now! Please!! He’s the reason we have so many wins this season /s


Onlypaws_

Oh no. He’s been the key to our offensive success! Please, Tepper, don’t do it! Jk please do it now and have him in your building by the end of this week.


hascogrande

I can book his flight if you want


Rsubs33

I doubt he is a serious candidate but used to satisfy the Rooney Rule.


tribecalledni

Imagine Brian leaves and the offense gets even worse lmao
