Panthers New Coach

[kungfoodude]

Cowher and Gruden have already been thrown out there as possibilities to replace Fox, however ESPN is reporting that Mike Holmgren is interested in returning to coaching.

Would you take Holmgren over either Cowher or Gruden?

[Jangler]

No. No retreads.

Holmgren wants to go to Washington anyways...

think I like Gruden the best... he seems to be in touch. Hes coached a rag tag team to the superbowl and has pushed a team over the top to win a bowl. Bucs are going to be sorry they let him go...I smell 4-12 days for those douch bags for a long time.

Gruden's team quit on him at 9-2

only reason he won that superbowl was he wrote the other team's offensive playbook.

[thunderraiden]

Wait... Gruden? Sorry for cussing but WHY THE fug would we want Gruden when we dont have a QB? Do we really wanta 50 Quarterback carousel for the next 5 seasons here in Carolina?

Now, maybe if we had a franchise back i wouldn't mind seeing what he could do, but as it stands he would obliterate our team if we don't have a QB.

What a RETARDED post.

Did he write the playbooks of all the other teams they beat on the road to the Super Bowl?

What a shortsighted IGNORANT thing to say.

the bucs had been in the playoffs 4 of the previous 5 years before gruden got there. they just needed someone to get them the ring. what better guy to do it than the guy who wrote the playbook for the other offense?

good coincidence for the bucs. trade played in their favor. gruden spent his career in tamp riding on the success of the defenhse that was already installed.

sorry if it is a slight on gruden if he's your boy but he's overrated.

I know that part...but Dungy couldn't get it done.

gruden wouldn't have gotten there had it not been for what dungy built and wouldn't have lasted nearly as long without kiffin.

[magnus]

Besides the Dungy influence, the best part of Gruden's teams were Kiffin's continued presence. Gruden's rah-rah locker room presence and motivational speakers got old fast in the meantime. He's got a short shelf life.

But he said a couple nice things about Carolina and is somewhat entertaining on MNF, so that's a perfect reason to think he's a great coach.

Totally agree. But Dungy, couldnt get it done(ala Fox). Gruden did with the same team. thats the 'the intangible a coach has' that can push them above and behond....I feel the the Panthers have the personel to get it done but we need that 'intagible' that a coach has to get them there. No disrespect to Fox.... but lets roll to the next level....

I was thinking about Holmgren today, thinking if he would be a good fit here in Charlotte.
