Top Ten Understudies looking to become Leading Men

10. Jeff Davidson, Panthers offensive coordinator

He's 41, with four years as an NFL player and 14 years as an assistant, and has served under Belichick, Pete Carroll and John Fox. Carolina runs the ball and built its team around the offensive line, but Davidson still knows how to get the ball to other playmakers such as wide receiver Steve Smith.

Finally, a coordinator getting some love!

had no idea how young some of those people are...i wonder if it'll start a youth movement in the NFL in terms of coaching

Super Bowl teams are always raided, let's hope we face that dilemna.

Davidson will be ready for a head coaching job at about the same time that his number gets called. He seems a year or two away. But then how many new coaching jobs will be open and how many teams will gamble on a coordinator that is unproven as a head coach. You figure he will likely get a chance after next year. Unless we go deep this year and his name shoots up the list if his running game continues to flourish when everyone knows we are going to run.

The success that Harbaugh and Mike Smith are having will likely lead to some teams taking that leap of faith.

I hope Davidson stay with us for few years. With how good we're doing so far, he might think of staying & win a Superbowl with us if we make it that far.

Kirwan holla'ed @ Davidson last year too. I am happy he is becoming better all the time, I was VERY excited when he was hired.

Smitty & some of the players weren't kidding last year when they mention Davidson's offense plan is quite new than Henning & it would take time for it to work out. Look like it showing so far this year. :thumbsup:
