@Mr. Scot - How long until you start preparing your Head Coach Candidate write-ups?

Fewell would be a pretty hard sell given how the Giants have declined.

I know a lot of people like Greg Roman and he has history here, but I'm not that big a fan. Ditto Vic Fangio.

People are talking up the coordinators on both sides of the ball for the Cowboys, but both Linehan and Marinelli were head coaches before and looked awful.

Adam Gase is another possible candidate whom I'd question. How much of his success is Peyton Manning?

I've seen John Pagano (Chuck's brother) mentioned as a future head coach but I haven't read enough about him to say much.

Others that have generated some buzz include Todd Bowles, Ray Horton and Pete Carmichael.

I'm honestly not as impressed with the general pool this year as I might have been in past years.

In the twenty years I have watched this team play I think this pretty well sums up the Carolina Panthers.

It appears to be both.

 

One, it's Shula's fault for having such an inept offense. For having guys out of position, for calling plays that don't fit the personnel we do have, and for basically relying on Cam to play at a super human level to even have the offense lifted off the ground.

 

It's Rivera's fault for keeping him on board, for saying things like, "well, we need Cam and Luke to be perfect to have a chance" and "I don't know why Olsen wasn't more involved". For only having two successful challenges in 4 years as a head coach. He's obviously not cut out to be the head coach. Is he a great DC? Appears that way. But, he's not a head coach.

 

To me his challenge record should say all it needs to. He's 3/13 at the moment. That has the be the worst in the league.What does that say about Ron Rivera as a coach?

Ron Rivera is still owed north of 15 million dollars guaranteed.

He ain't going nowhere.

doesnt matter as much as you think, a winning seasons revenue versus a losing season could be a $100m+ swing in revenue.

But honestly even with the saints winning last night we're still tops in the NFCS and if we beat the saints Thursday we pretty much lock up the division.

Pretty much.

He paid Dom Capers for eight years. If it means avoiding disaster, I can see him paying Ron Rivera for three.

Honestly, I could be talked into it myself just based on what I've seen already.

 

I think it'd take something more to convince Jerry Richardson though.

 

 

 

Record notwithstanding, I'm embarrassed by this season.

 

Full disclosure though, I wasn't the world's biggest advocate of keeping Rivera before last season.

 

I feared last season might be an aberration but hoped it wasn't.  Right now my fears look smarter than my hopes.

 

 

You and us all!!! :phew:

Players supporting another player is not the same thing as players continuing to play hard for their head coach.

 

The upcoming schedule is incredibly favorable. 4 wins are almost guaranteed.

 

Rivera is not going to be fired if we go 7-8-1 or anything close to that.

 

It's just not going to happen and it shouldn't.

 

I would not be surprised to see Shula forced out, though.

 

So you call the last two games "Playing hard"?? :startle:

 

Wow! :phew:

I'd be willing to give Malzahn a shot...the recent college to pro coaches have done pretty well and I think there are a few current college coaches that would work well in the NFL.

 

I'm not 100% convinced that Malzahn would work and that it would be risky but that's exactly the reason I'd go for it...too long has this team gone the "safe" and conservative route...I'd take a chance and shoot for the moon with GUs.

 

Isn't this what many of us though/said about Chip Kelly. And looked how that's working out!? :cool:

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
