Potential Head Coaches

[Kurb]

but oh yay nick hayden could get fat and be a stand in one spot 3-4 DE

[Dpantherman]

I don't think there is anything wrong w/ the 4-3 personally...

[Mr. Scot]

Is anyone else warming up to Brian Schottenheimer?

Me? Not really. I understand the hype. Just not a big believer.

Grimm was coaching in Washington when Hurney was there, it's certain they probably know each other

I didn't take Grimm quite as seriously as a candidate when I wrote his profile, largely because the Cardinals haven't exactly sustained their initial success.

Still, if inside connections count for anything - and they generally do - Grimm could wind up being the favorite. He was drafted by Hurney mentor Bobby Beathard and was playing for the Redskins during the two years Marty spent in their PR department.

I'd expect him to at least get an interview.

And now, a few tips of the hat to the Harbamaniacs

Focus, leadership make Jim Harbaugh hot name for 2011

Jim Harbaugh Named Finalist for Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award

Peter King predicts the next Panthers Head Coach

And one for Andrew Luck fans....

The Luck-y Carolina Panthers?

For nostalgia's sake, a headline you might hope to see again...

Panthers sign Jim Harbaugh

Plus an old profile still hanging around in the ESPN database.

Jim Harbaugh, Carolina Panthers

All that's missing is the old Hulk Hogan theme music

Enjoy, fellas

Davis and Anderson are a loss, but we might have to say goodbye to one ideally, and two in more grave times. You could add Brown, who some said wouldn't have the athleticism for a 3-4 in space; Hardy, Johnson, and Brayton won't fit the 3-4. Yes, Brayton played in one. Yes, it was a bad idea.

Regardless, Beason should be here. And there's no reason we don't put a defense around him. Incidentally, we have one built around him, that needs a bigtime DT and that's about it. I like the idea of "we built this defense around our best player" a lot more than "we threw out half our defense".

beason is a great fit for a 4-3. what i worry about is him being affected by a transition to the 3-4 that vilma was in NY.

moving the team to a 3-4 would risk making beason ineffective as well as quite a few other guys we have. not sure that would be a wise move.

And here I thought you were responding to my "Harbamanics" post

I can't think of a good name for the "Draft Luck" portion of the fanbase though. "Luckamaniacs" just doesn't work for me.

FYI: The King post was in response to some goofball on Twitter (http://twitter.com/vwesr). I have no idea who this kid is

that was some good reading. i wish we had gotten him to start a game or two, but maybe it's best he didn't.

as for harbamaniacs.....we'll have to find something beter than that.

If Harbaugh / Luck happens I figure by this time next year we'll be swimming in bad puns

I'm sure it'd take about ten seconds or so for Coach Harbaugh to become "Coach Hardass". Long completions could quickly become "Lucky Strikes". Game performances will go down as either "Good Luck" or "Bad Luck" (hopefully more of the first) and if we keep Clausen, Heaven only knows how many writers will refer to the quarterback battle as "Luck and the Irish" :frown2:

interesting that he picked chip kelly. it's kind of early to be considering him a pro HC. you can't argue with the quick success, but i thnk without any experience in the pros at all that it would be too much of a transition.

i'll take the puns all day long as long as they come with a lot of wins.

Valid

It'd be a downer for my buddy's teenage daughter. She thinks Clausen is cute. Luck, however, is a dead ringer for her older brother

[rayzor]

i just see the older brother from home improvement when i see clausen.

i don't know that too many girls are going to be going nuts over luck, though. he doesn't exactly look like the brightest dude in the world.

[Mr. Scot]

Now that you mention it...

:eek:

[Mr. Scot]

I'll leave tonight with this last bit of random speculation.

Luck's college number (12) is unavailable. Should he be picked, I suppose Gettis could give it up. If not, I wonder if Luck would take Harbaugh's temporary Panthers number (5).

Honestly, I'm not sure I want to see a #12 at quarterback for the Panthers again anyway.
