What are the Chances? Norv Turner

Offensively I think this team is very exciting and only improving.

Norv has done wonders with Cam and I would hate to see him go.

What are the chances that if we were to change our head coach that Norv stays on as OC?  Or do you think if Rivera gets can, Turner leaves regardless of whether he is offered the position?

We've wasted some much of Cam's career with Shula.  We finally have an OC that can put up some points and if we can Rivera, we have to start all over.

Highly unlikely we'd keep him.  It would very likely begin a serious downturn in Cam's career too.  Typically QBs that have new coordinators every other year are the ones that end up fizzling out.  It's dangerous for teams to become addicted to coaching changes.  It sure does feel like Rivera is starting to get stale though.  It's a tough call.

I'm afraid if Ron goes, so will Cam, KK, Turner, Thompson, even Kuechly. Ron's been their big daddy since day 1 of rookie training camp.

I'm sick of Ron's conservative decisions & he must change. My only fear is if he goes, his loyal players will be pissed & ditch the Panthers.

Huh? This ain't Varsity Blues.  The players won't be going anywhere.

Norv took the position because Ron specifically asked for his help. I would expect if Ron goes, Norv goes.

The wild card is Scott Turner. It's likely he could become a good OC and may decide to stay with the Panthers through a regime change. It's a conversation worth having with the new GM and coach, when that happens.

Regarding the players - players are loyal, but they ALL understand this is a business. They are more likely to take into account money and where their families are established more than they will the result of a coach firing.

Man I thought I had seen all the dumbassery one life could show you but we have someone here talking stupid poo about Cam would leave to go with Rivera if he was fired ROFLMAO.

HAHAHAH oh man that's golden.

While I agree that Cam wouldn't leave if Ron got canned and Norv left, Cam could be less effective if the next OC tries to implement a more traditional offense or a different scheme like a West coast offense. Norv has done a good job matching this offense to what Cam does well. There is nothing to say he wouldn't fall back to mediocrity if we changed the coaching staff significantly.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
