Perry Fewell

[Harbingers]

So? 

[philit99]

He is Solid, but some players have checked out. Do not expect a miracle.

I am really excited about Scott Turner calling plays. Maybe, we can keep him.

[TylerDurden]

I'm taking an optimistic approach...  he was on a lot of front office radars, including ours, a few years ago as a HC candidate.

I expect this is the tank squad, ultimately. We will see Sunday. 

[Snake]

We might actually see a strong push to the end.

4 games. It's audition time. I am really looking forward to it across the board. Burn all the old BS philosophies and try everything the rest of the year. Except Williams at LT, that ship sailed and sank. Play the young guys that need reps over the vets that will be here next year. 

[Paa Langfart]

I expect our D to be even more complete ass than it has been come Sunday.

Short memories around here.

Many years ago when Fox was on his way out, Fewell was on the short list of "next gen" guys to become head coaches in the league and Carolina was very interested. A lot of folks here speculated he would be the next HC in Charlotte.

Anyone else find it ironic that him and Rivera were finalist for the HC and yet, in the end, Fewell is the HC? lol

Perry is only the interim to satisfy the Rooney rule. Quite disgusting actually. He’ll get the obligatory interview as the interim coach to satisfy the rule before hiring the guy.

Yes...at that time he was a hot DC....that cooled off.

Yes. This. 

 

Norv to special HC assistant means Norv is a goner to me. He is a form HC that got jumped  by a position coach yet also lost his main gig as OC. Special assistant will not be there next year. Norv will go back to a couch finally in 2020.

 

Moving Scott up is the audition he needed. Interesting he took Keenum to his best, took Cam to a good 2018 (prior to the Steelers) and Allen from udfa to marginal starter, good backup guy is not too bad in a few years. He has them able to operate the playbook pretty well. Still growing with Allen obviously but unlike his last projects, Scott got a raw guy new to NFL speed vs the vets.

My assumption is that Norv wanted to give Scott a chance to audition, wanted to move up, but did not want to be HC.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it makes sense with what we know about him.

I do expect him to be gone next year too.
