At league meetings, David Tepper “quite a bit of time” with Ben Johnson’s representative.
If Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, is David Tepper’s ideal candidate, then this administration may move quickly toward hiring a third head coach.
Jonathan Jones, senior NFL insider for CBS Sports, claims that the owner of the Carolina Panthers may have lately made an effort to speak well of Johnson’s agent on his own behalf. Jones stated the following in his Saturday column:
Just the statement that David Tepper, the owner of Carolina, wants his next coach to stay for the next 20 to 30 years would mean that Belichick, 71, would not be hiring him. (Tepper is anticipated to pursue Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson once more; during this week’s league meetings, the billionaire had a lengthy conversation with Johnson’s agent.)
When the Panthers conducted their search last year, Johnson was thought to be one of the favorites. However, in the end, the youthful play-caller decided to decline requests for interviews and remain in Detroit to complete his business.
But Tepper hasn’t given up on Johnson entirely, according to reports. It was pointed out by Jones’ coworker Josina Anderson in late November that Johnson is anticipated to draw attention for the position.
According to Chris Tabor, Panthers players are not merely “collecting a paycheck.”
Regarding his wife’s “we are fired” remark, Thomas Brown inquired. Cam Newton believes David Tepper is trying to get Bill Belichick to become the Panthers’ next head coach.
On Sunday, quarterback Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers began his post-game press conference with a smile, something that hasn’t happened much this season.
It feels wonderful, ah. It feels fantastic,” he said to the press. “After victories, these are far more delightful. Feel fantastic.
The youngster, nevertheless, had a fantastic game as well this afternoon, helping his side defeat the visiting Atlanta Falcons 9-7.
A 17-play, 90-yard drive to close off the rainy and chaotic game secured Carolina’s second victory of the season. Three really clutch completions by Young—a 19-yard pass to tight end Tommy Tremble, a 20-yard pass to fellow rookie Jonathan Mingo, and an incredible 18-yard pass to DJ Chark—highlighted the possession.
With one second left, kicker Eddy Piñeiro attempted a 23-yard field goal, which was successful thanks to Young’s help. The first overall selection discussed that appropriate touch.
“Where else do you want to be right now?” Young spoke about the frame of mind before the drive. “Chance to lose and win the match. There isn’t another group that I would choose to do it with. We all believe in one another. Everyone has faith in one another. It was simply a fantastic chance.
That was an extra bonus to one of Young’s cleanest trips to date. He completed eighteen of his twenty-four throws for 167 yards and the second-highest passer rating of the season, 93.6.
