I keep seeing all these threads about how we should be excited, not be excited, how Norv will be good for Cam and how Norv will be Cam's death bed.  I checked the panthers web site and googled a bit but still haven't seen proof that NT has been hired by the Panthers.  Just wondering if I am missing something ?

No, not yet. As far as we know, he hasn't even interviewed yet.

I think it's more like he's doing the interviews.  Ron is going to have to sell him on taking the job I'm certain.

It will all come down to getting Newton to buy in however.  If Cam at with it then we have a problem.

i read up on his resignation in Minni— all of a sudden, said he felt like he was holding their offense back. 

 

At his age he is not going to compromise his beliefs so it's understandable.  He doesn't need the job or the stress.  He will take it if everyone buys in and stays bought it.  Otherwise they are wasting his time.

I would think if he did it would be from some unforeseen issue just revealed... I think generally the deal was done before this week.

I think if he isn't doing it, it would have been reported they would be interviewing other guys for the job. I have yet to hear anything about any other candidate interviewing for the job. I think Norv will be good if we add a #1 WR and a RB that can carry the mail on 1st and 2nd down, if needed. Remember, Turner coached RBs like LT, Turner, Tolbert, Sproles, etc. so he knows how to work with RBs as well as TE's (had Gates his entire time at SD). Also, he gradually helped Rivers, and although Cam isn't as dynamic of a passer as Rivers, he's never had a true Dual Threat. I think we will see similar things from Cam like we did from his rookie year with Chud as OC. I like this hire. We can't get much worse than what Shula did.

Cam will have essentially zero input into who we hire as OC. And that's the way it should be.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
