Dave Gettleman's Head Coaches

[Mr. Scot]

then why extend rivera?

 

The numbers 12 and 4 come to mind.

[Mr. Scot]

JR chose to fire Bill Polian...which I thought was a mistake

 

Polian wasn't really fired.  The Colts offered him what was effectively a promotion (Team President).

 

Since he was still under contract, Richardson lobbied the NFL to award the Panthers the #1 pick as compensation.

 

(how different would our history be if that had worked?)

I might regret it but I'm hoping for a fired up win big or go down in flames kind of coach. I've grown tired of the past 10+ years of coaches playing not to lose.

if hes not your coach, what does it matter what his record is?

[Mr. Scot]

Gettleman came in specifically stating he wasn't just going to throw everyone out and replace them with his own people.

 

And only an idiot would fire a head coach coming off that kind of season with a future looking bright.

 

[The Huddler]

And how's that extension looking now? You don't extend someone based on one stretch of games given his track record.

Open your eyes.

Whats the downside? He can be fired any time, while if he did turn out another winning season he cant just jump ship and get paid.

Again, what is the downside.

Sounds pretty smart to me, gives the panthers the leverage.

Open your eyes.

not one of the QBs listed are mobile or a threat to run .so, is DG aware that he will have to adjust his philosophies in accordance with the hand he has been currently dealt?or will he acquire another QB?because so much of the decision process behind hiring a new coach revolves around your QB,ecspecially with Cams unorthodox skill set.

[Kevin Greene]

So many retreads.

If DG is taking the "it's not my money approach" then yeah there's no downside. But you're missing the part where Rivera's contract is guaranteed. JR might not allow DG to fire RR because he doesn't want to pay RR to sit on the couch and flick his bean.

John Elway wasn't a mobile quarterback?

 

[Moose Hoover]

So what would be a better offense for Cam, West Coast or E-P?

That's probably a thread of its own, honestly.

 

[bandu]

John Elway wasn't a mobile quarterback?

he rushed for 3,407 yds. during his 16 year NFL career as a player and had a cannon for an arm.which are alot of the same attributes Cam possesses.my bad

[CRA]

im excited to see Dave Gettleman shape this team to be 100% of his finger print. Coaches, players, contracts.

Dont judge too quick. Weve seen janitor Dave so far.

I still think Dave gets a lot of hype....too much.

Dave is the one who extended Ron too soon. Dave is the one who thought renting a DE was pretty much worth downgrading an OL, secondary, and ST by large margins. Dave is the one who just had one of his draft picks essentially stolen.

First round picks IMO aren't how you judge a GM. Dave gets "meh" from me so far. I still think his vision is exactly what we have watched in NY. A very in consistent product. Yeah, they lucked into some rings. I don't think NY is the model despite the rings.
