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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
