UVA may come calling for Panthers QB coach Scherer

The Roanoke (Va.) Times is reporting that the University of Virginia is interested in hiring Panthers quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer as their new offensive coordinator. Scherer has spent the vast majority of his 35 years in coaching at the college level and has had held a few positions in the Virginia area, including the head coaching position at James Madison.

Scherer was brought in to help Jake Delhomme fix his mechanics this year, but it didn’t work as Delhomme threw 18 interceptions in his worst NFL season.

It would make sense for Scherer, as well as other assistants around the league, to begin bolting for the college level with lockout looming after the 2010 NFL season.

I can't judge him poorly for not fixing Delhomme. Delhomme was just that inconsistent.

But, Moore came out and did really well overall as we all know. If any of that is attributable to Scherer then we may be best served by keeping him.

It's really lame that Darin (or the Panthers organization using Darin as their mouthpiece) have implied and continue to push an excuse Rip Scherer had something to do with Delhomme's awful performance this season. Last year it was Mike McCoy.

i kind of took it that jake was unfixable.

:iagree: We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen!!!!

Can't blame Scherer. Delhomme just can't get it done anymore and was average at best before the TJ surgery. I'm not sure when people are going to figure this out.

Martz is available.

He'd never work as an OC for the Panthers under Fox, but as a QB coach...

I'd have to give it some thought...

(Ditto Jim Zorn, he's good as a position coach)

Given the choice, I'd probably prefer to keep Scherer rather than have Moore deal with a new coach.

Based on what? He had Quinn and Anderson in Cleveland....and neither is still worth a crap.
you can give a master sculptor a pile of crap and no matter what he does in the end it's still a pile of crap. not the sculpture's fault that he was given a pile of crap to start off with.

based on what i saw him doing with the QBs compared to other QB coaches I have seen, he does a good job. others saw a huge difference in how he worked with the QBs in OTAs and practice as well. lot of fundamentals and mechanics. TMI for jake but for a young QB with talent and room to grow your going to see some positive results.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
