Bruce Dehaven returning to Panthers

Recommended Posts

After a leave of absence for medical reasons and the hiring of Russ Purnell to fill his shoes, our ST coach is returning for the next mini camp. Says his treatment went well but did not disclose his illness. Russ Purcell will also be staying on as insurance to see how Bruce feels after his return. This is all that was said in the article by the C.O.  Good luck Bruce and welcome back.

This is very good news and I hope everything goes well for him. This goes way beyond football, so if he doesn't feel well enough to do the traveling with the team as ST coach, it's completely understandable.

​Podcast call ins won't be returning. I paid for the switchboard service for a while, but no one used it. So its gone.

Great news.  I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use my "These guys are Dehell" slam the first time we muffed a punt.

Putting that one right back in my pocket.

Seriously though, that is great news and I hope his health maintains and he can coach out this season and beyond

I don't know what his illness was or wasn't, but from a truly outside perspective, it appears that hrs coming back too soon for fear of losing his job. I hope it's not the case, but for the Panthers to bring in Purnell in the first place they had to believe that he would be out a significant amount of time.

I sincerely hope and pray that Bruce is ready to go 100% and that his health isn't adversely affected by his early return.

    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
    • Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
