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.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
