I really expect the next coach we hire will be a coordinator from another team. I like Russ Grimm from Arizona. I normally prefer defensive guys as head coaches but that is all we have ever had and I think it might be time for a change. Grimm being an o-line coach would not be that different to a def. coach running the team. I also think Sean Mcdermott from philly, Zimmer from the bengals, Mularkey from the Falcons, and Williams from the Saints are interesting. Any thoughts?

Gary Patterson.

Guy is just a damn fine coach. Defensive minded but like a high powered offense to compliment his typically stingy defenses.

Also, we have a relatively young team and a college coach would fit well in team development.

Although he seems like a long shot and an unproven NFL coach...we do have a pretty direct connection to Mr Patterson

That is a very interesting connection. What college coach besides Jimmy Johnson has been a success in the NFL as a head coach? At the least Notre Dame should give him a call.

No, I meant Kelsey Grammer.

Okay, not really, but if we were to go with a current coordinator, I'd imagine he'll be sure to get a look.

:)

No doubt. I think he'll be a head coach somewhere next season. I mean, he's played a successful part in some big name defenses with the Eagles, Colts, and now the Vikings.

He even saw improvement out of the Bengals defense during the two years he was there.

I know right now people are clamoring for some offensive genius who will be able to optimize the talent we have, but our defense is far from stable right now. I would love to see us get back to being an elite defense. We've got enough talent on offense that I don't think we need some offensive mastermind.

Yep you need a defensive coach to keep a strong defense. You don't need a offensive minded coach, just not a (to an extreme) ultra conservative defensive minded coach. Why can't we have a little of both. Honestly I haven't heard a better and more importantly realistic option than Cowher as of yet.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
