2010 Coach/Coordinator options


rey2009

Recommended Posts

First and foremost let me say I have been a Carolina Panthers fan since inception in 1995. I attended UNC-Charlotte and remember how uptown was packed when we beat the Eagles to go to the Super Bowl in 2003 and remember the heartbreak of seeing Vinateri win the game. Watching this season its pretty obvious and a popular thought that Jake, John Fox, and Davidson HAVE GOT TO GO.

I personally would like to see Bill Cowher coach us but I am hesitant about changing to a 3-4 scheme. We have LB talent to do it but we have spent so many draft picks on DTs this year it may be a setback. With all this said which coaches (and coordinators) are available to take our team to the next level as is (minus Jake)? I hear Leslie Frazier from the Vikings will be a hot interview again in the offseason so what about him and maybe Charlie Weis?

I don't think we have a west coast offense so Holmgren is out. Shanahan would be NASTY with out RBs in a zone blocking scheme and knows how to get the best out of a QB. I don't know if Jerry will spend Cowher/Shanahan money though so what other head coach/coordinators combos do you guys like?

glad you started off by clarifying your status as a panther fan with history. without your "first and foremost" opening paragraph i would have thought you were just another bandwagon fan.

but to the point.... no on cower. defensive minded. we have meeks.

yes on shanahan and a new QB. we could use a flacco style young QB and allow our running game to dominate with having a capable QB when needed.

Cowher has very strong ties to North Carolina. He actually has a house near where I live. I think he would be a good fit here, I wouldn't be suprised at all if we pick him up this offseason in the event that Fox is out.

Ps. If you want to request the man as our coach please spell his name right. Thanks!

I like Cowher, but I'm hesitant to bring him in at this point. He coached the Steelers for a loooooooooong time and when they finally won a championship he stepped down. I know he stepped down in part to spend more time with his family, but I have a hard time believing he will be able to re-kindle the same passion and desire he had as coach of the Steelers. Bottom line is that I'm concerned his heart just wouldn't be in it.

Personally, I'd like to find someone young and hungry - I'd like to find the next Bill Cowher.

Word. Cowher might been successful with the Steelers, but that doesn't mean it will be the same way for the Panthers. Plus, we would have to get rid of Meeks. I want Meeks to stay, 'cause our defense is doing better under him & hopefully be even better next year if he stay & has more control on doing his play calls.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
