It looks like Rivera is the man but who will be the cordinators?

[rmoneyg35]

Well it looks like Ron Rivera will be our next coach. I really think this is a good choice but who are we going to get for our offensive and defensive coordinators?

I know we have been looking at also getting Rob Ryan and Perry Fewell, and Greg Manusky as head coaches but could we be looking at getting them for our next defensive coordinator? out of those three Rob Ryan would be the guy I want. Fewell would be the next guy I would want followed by Manusky.

If we aren't looking at getting any of these guys who else could we be looking at getting at D coordinator? does Rivera get to choose his staff?

I don't think we have made any interviews on Offensive coordinators which could mean we want a coach that is still coaching in the playoffs. I honestly believe that we need to get a top notch guy that already has experience at the position. Offense is our biggest need and I feel that we don't need to take a risk and sign an unexpericed OC. Jeff Davidson didn't work out for us and I believe JR will not take the same approach as he did last time on our OC.

I think Mike Martz would be a great OC for us, but he is under contract so the only way we could have him next year is by offering him a head coaching job. Brian Schottenheimer would be a great fit and we could have a very similar players(young qb, Good Rbs,O-line). JR has clearly said the coaches he wants are ones that fit our philosophy. What is our Philosophy by the way? Does JR still want us to be that conservative run first team? I really hope we change our offensive game but if JR wants to stick to the same philosophy then I guess that means same ole conservative offense.

Also here is an artical from the local News and Observer on possible canidates, some are about head coaching prospects but it seems we already found our guy.

What do you guys think?

I can't see why we would expect someone to leave one job for the same job here

unless there's big issues where they're at .

Well I know we can't get any cordinators unless we offer them a head coach job or unless their contract is up. I am just saying some of theses guys I would want as a head coach if Ron Rivera doesn't work out and some of theses guys I would want as a coordinator if their contract runs out.

I'm sure Rivera (if he does become the coach as is being reported in many media circles) has his own list of possible coordinators to bring with him. Many guys won't accept a job if they are to be saddled with coaches they have no say so about. It's probably within the new HC's perview to talk with one of the coaches we just let go. I'd like to see Meeks back myself. But any new coach will no doubt be able to name his entire staff.

Maybe we could bring back Meeks as a secondary coach? I believe he was a secondary coach for the falcons when they went to the Superbowl in the late 90's. The secondary has played well in the two seasons he was DC and his past teams have had a pretty good secondary(when healthy).

Henning and Trgovac.

I disagree...I think Meeks was horrible

[Jackofalltrades]

One problem with Ryan, 3-4, which I don't want to go to.

[Cavscout]

I agree

We have the personnel for a 4-3

Beason wouldn't fit into a 3-4 defense

He ran the 4-3 in Oakland and his dad also has ran the 4-3 with the Bears

John Clayton just reported that no deal was done and Carolina planning on bringing more people for 2nd interview...
