Peter King's the only person I know of to mention him, and I think he was just talking off the top of his head.

Possible, I suppose, but I don't really think it'll happen.

I didn't figure that anyone was talking about him. It'd be a long shot but the fact he hand crafted his own offense makes him potentially very valuable as an OC, that sort of creativity is extremely rare in pro football these days. When it comes down to it most of the pro offenses stem back to 3-4 basic designs and the only real differences are playcalling and personnel. I doubt JR or Hurney would lean that direction as they are more conservative but JR has surprised us in the past.

And another... :eek:

Jerry Simmons has been the Panthers Strength and Conditioning Coach since 1999, so obviously he was here when Harbaugh stopped by in 2001.

The surprise though, is that this wasn't their first meeting. Harbaugh played one season for the Baltimore Ravens, starting 12 games in 1998. Simmons was serving in the same capacity with the Ravens at the time. He and Harbaugh were both out of Baltimore the following season, with Harbaugh going to San Diego and Simmons joining the Panthers.

Harbaugh fans might want to go back and read his profile again. The "Panther Connection" area has been pretty heavily rewritten based on tonight's searches. I actually expected to find at least a few connections with other candidates, but there was only one (Mike Heimerdinger worked with Panthers LB Coach Richard Smith for two years in Denver).

You must drink a lot of coffee :-)

I would consider Heimerdinger as a candidate for HC if it were not for the cancer treatments

Dr. Pepper, and I sometimes suffer from insomnia :(

Added a long list of teammates from Harbaugh's playing career too. Included some fun guys to remember like Jeff Mitchell and Paul Butcher.

In any case, learned a lot today. And thinking about a possible brighter future helps me forget that we lost today to the Browns.

(or at least it did until now) :(

I just thought of something. I do NOT think Cowher is coming here, but if he did, He could be given the power he wants while still keeping Marty Hurney. It could be one of those Shannahan type deals, where the GM stays put, and Cowher gets the title of Head Coach and VP of Football Operations (we don't currently have one...). Just a thought.

On the upcoming list, Clarence Shelmon interests me. Anyone know any info about him? The stuff I could find on the web isn't that extensive.

I was curious to see what type of input he has in the SD offense since Norv is such an offensive guy. Anyone?

there is just nothing appealing to me about grimm coming here. other than the fact that he's a HoFer and has coached the oline for two teams that made the superbowl.

i also think the title of "assistant head coach" is something that people put too much stock into.

i'd rather have rob ryan than russ grimm and i don't particularly like either one.

also, i'm of the school of thought that richardson and hurney are going to be looking for more of a young dynamic/salesperson type personality for the job (not that it will be the sole qualifier). russ grimm just isn't that. i wouldn't exactly call him an offensive minded coach either. he's OL. he might know something about blocking schemes, but thats not a whole lot different from being a defenisve minded coach.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      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!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      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!
