(Theory) Coach Cowher to be next Panthers head coach

I am not a huge Cowher supporter, but it sure does seem like the door is opening for him. JR, not only fires his head coach, but his entire coaching staff. That in itself, feels like JR already has a big name head coach picked out, that will bring in his entire coaching staff with him. Cowher has said previously that he wants to stay in NC to be close to his family, and would coach again if the right job came along... well that is insinuating that he would like to coach the Carolina Panthers, he has waited 4 years for this job to open up. The job is his if he wants it.. and trust me, he wants it.

I believe he already has a deal struck with JR, and it will happen very very quickly (this week). I don't think we will waste Jim Harbaugh's time.. as I believe JR has made up his mind, and will be appeasing the RR, to get the Ron Rivera interview out of the way ASAP. The press conference tomorrow very well could be the announcement I am talking about.

Oh, and the 'short list' for Cowher, never existed. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/rumors/p...urn=nfl-301058

The alternative theory is they have a deal set up with Harbaugh already, and they set the press conference for the day after his Bowl game.. which would make sense. However, I don't think they would have fired the ENTIRE coaching staff for Harbaugh. I could be wrong though.

It seems that we will be getting a high profile head coach.. not a lesser known coordinator that ESPN seems to imply. I believe JR will be going BIG. JR will pump life into this downtrodden franchise. Cowher and Luck would achieve this goal. Again, I would rather have an Offensive minded HC like Harbaugh, but the writing seems to be on the wall.

That's where you're wrong I think....

Harbaugh holds all the cards, there's one of him and at least 5 different teams that want him, including Stanford. If JR wanted him bad enough and Harbaugh said I'll come if I can pick my own staff it would be done.....

You have a good point there. Hand picking your entire staff would be extremely appealing for any head coach, however, I do think Carolina holds some cards with Harbaugh as well. We have the rights to his Quarterback whom he declared as the 'best quarterback prospect EVAR!'.

I have seen the word fired used to describe what JR did to our coaching staff. That is not true. They were allowed to fulfill there contracts and weren't retained. I know that is just semantics but it's very important in my book. And I also think that is was smart to do so as to allow the new coach to bring in coaches that he fills comfortable with.

There is nothing that says that the new coach won't bring back a few of the assistants the he feels are compatible with his style.

You forgot to quote yourself. I think I remember you posting this exact thing in the other Cowher thread.

I wasn't getting any feedback, and wanted to know some opinion's on my theory. I just made a new thread. :)

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
