Say panthers do lose al and need a replacement. Do you think during interview luke comes in halfway through and puts his arm around the interviewers' shoulders and gives the approval?? Or is that more of a opening or closing type of test, it's the most important aspect of being the LB coach tho.

I can't stop wondering what Al Holcomb is going to feel about Ron recommending someone else for the job he was applying for? That could be pretty damn awkward.

I don't think you apply. I think you get asked to interview. The media said that Holcomb was a likely candidate for DC but maybe he never was.

Plus he would have interviewed with his own boss, McD, so Ron's recommendation isn't really needed.

Very true and that alone explains it best. McD doesn't need a reference for Holcomb. He does for a guy he doesn't know as well. I doubt it was phrased to Rivera as who does he recommended most but what does he think of Frazier. Rivera can have utmost respect for both but it's McD who needs to decide.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
