With only subtractions made to the coaching staff...and with the cap situation the way it is...the Panthers might really struggle next year. Panthers are one Cam Newton injury away from being 0-16.

fairly predictable, you guys wanted Chud gone, well he's gone none of you ever thought that not too many people would want the job considering that it could end up only being for 1 year, and don't think for a second that didn't play a big role in it.

I'm pretty sure we would of had to guaranteed many of the OC's that we wanted 3 years of salary or more and that just want going to happen

Sweet! The huddle consensus is this is awful news! Usually the actual outcome of what happens every year directly contradicts the huddles stance! Super Bowl next year woooooooo!!!!

For those asking, Pat Shurmur and Hue Jackson wanted the job. Panthers went w/ continuity and someone who's worked well with Cam.

whoa okay nevermind. fug this hire.

who really would want to join Rivera? It is like loaning a dying man money. They would have to know this was a one-year, probationary gig.

The upcoming season is gonna be a damn bloodbath.. JR will never take that next step needed to get the superbowl while he still lives..

status quo for the Panthers. Mr. Richardson and his cronies are content with 6-10/7-9 FB as long as his pockets are fat. He knows the fans will come, and if they don't they'll at least sell their tickets to opposing fans.

I'm going to be honest here: I'm pretty pissed off about this. Unreal.

Yeah honestly I agree w/ this. I can't really blame them either. No playoffs TY = Looking for a new job next year

Person reported that Jackson and Shurmur both wanted the job. Jackson was a fantastic option, and even if they were limited in people that wanted the job, there was a clear option available that wanted it.

I'll admit to wanting Chud gone, but it's because I (for some unknown reason) had faith in Rivera to learn from him mistakes and hire an OC with some previous head coaching experience. His idiocy and ego prevented that.

Yup. It's the same reason why I new Rivera would NEVER hire Whisenhunt.

If the Panthers start out 0-3 Rivera could be fired. Bringing in a guy like Hue or Ken is just pouring gasoline on a seat that's so hot it about to explode.

Well played, Rivera. I don't agree with the move (and neither does anyone else) but this my friends is called having your cake and eating it too.

Now that its official. Lets not overreact. Say we're deflated. What positives can be brought from this? Continuity. Shula worked with Cam one on one. He's probably heard what Cam is comfortable with. What he likes, what he doesn't like. He was on the bench with the players. He probably heard the complaints. We are not going to see the read option as our base formation anymore. He is going to continue on the path that we had the last 6 games. Shula hasn't worked with a QB of Cam's caliber. Shaun King was his QB i believe? I think the positives outway the negatives. I'm trying to be optimistic. I obviously would have prefered Hue Jackson. But lets not get crazy here.
