Shanahan or Cowher?

[panthersphan]

Cowher.

- He's historically known for solid special teams.

- 6 straight playoff appearances in the 90s, followed by back-to-back playoff appearances twice in the 00s (constancy is obviously not going to come from Fox)

- He LOVES the power running game (run in general)

- Players LOVE him, players would want to come to Carolina to play for him...as much as some don't agree, Bill Cowher is a legend.

He's very passionate about North Carolina (hell he was rooting for the 'Canes over the Pens in the Eastern Conference Finals)

[Mr. Scot]

Neither :nonod:

This

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera, Ryan, Frazier, Grimm...

The only names I'm interested in.

[First Down]

Someone who will get on to the team instead of clapping everytime we come off the field after a 3 and out and will get into someone's face and call them out for not doing their job and then be the first to congratulate them on a good play. Why not Kevin Greene

Rivera, Ryan, Frazier, Grimm...

The only names I'm interested in.

:iagree:

i like cowher but is ego is bigger than Charlotte, and hell want more money and more power (coach/gm) than Richardson will want to give him

shanahan never did much after elway. not saying hes a bad coach but im not a big fan of his

[Nu Guns]

Gruden

[Ga Cat Fan]

IF we changed coaches, I think Gruden could light a fire under our butts. Not a fan of either Cowher or Shanahan.

[pamlicopanther]

Neither - Somebody young and hungry. Seems to be the way to go these days.

[SOTY89]

Gruden can come in with passion and get this team to play with some heart. He's obsessed with the "wildcat" and I'd like to see what he could do with Smith/Williams/Stewart in the back field.

[Jackofalltrades]

Brian Billick, then Cowher.

[The Other Colbert]

I would say Cowher is the most logical choice, and it's almost blatant he wants to coach again and not too far from his house (Raleigh). I'm still not sold that he will be as effective as everyone speculates.

I really don't understand why so many people want Gruden. I like Gruden a lot, he's personality fits everything that's football. But what did he show in his last couple of seasons with the Buc's? He showed a lot of what we are seeing from Fox this year. No ability to inspire and unwilling to change.

Yeah I agree completely. Cowher and Shanahan are great coaches, but they are both going to want complete control which is probably not going to work.

Go with Grimm he comes from a good tree and likes the run.
