Bruce Dehaven returning to Panthers


Jmac

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.

    • I wanted Lemon, actually, but the locker room is very important.  Nothing disrupts the chemistry more than a loud, crazy, disgruntled WR.  He will become that.  They said he sucked during interviews.    
    • My thoughts exactly! Before his injury Icky was not a perineal pro-bowler anyway. He was  mid-tier, slightly above average. We were getting ready to overpay or let him walk. As to the rest of our line...Moton cost's $28.4 million next year, we can save $14.5M with $13.9M dead money ($7M in 27 and $7M in 28 if we call it post 6/1, with $21.5M off our 27 cap). I have a feeling we let him play out 27 though if he's able. I've been hearing about his bum knee for 3 years and he hasn't slowed down yet. Releasing Hunt saves us $13.7M with $10.6M dead ($5.3 in 27 and 28 if post 6/1 with $19M savings in 27.).He's a beast, let him play it out IMO. Cutting Lewis next year saves $13M with only $3.75 dead money. No way we can afford not to do that. Look for his replacement to be drafted on Saturday. I think Fortner works out and earns himself an extension.
