I think irsay saw this and wanted a change, thus he was let go with the intent of losing, getting a high pick and starting over with a new staff.

Dont compare his hiring with sean payton. Payton would require compensation to the saints which could be a huge factor in carolina's decision.

I think Reichs biggest problem as coach is his failure to hold guys accountable. He’s just too nice.

And who knows, it probably wasn’t gonna work here anyway after everything that went down. Irsay absolutely DETESTED Wentz and Frank was directly responsible for bringing him here. That was Franks mistake and I don’t think Jim ever really got over it.

It just drives me insane to see everyone dumping all the blame on Reich when he was clearly not the problem. That became painfully obvious the minute Jeff Saturday showed up.

As for Sean Payton, if the Panthers felt he was head and shoulders better than Reich, they would have paid the price necessary to get him. That’s kind of my point. They obviously didn’t think there was that much of a difference.
