Official Panthers Coaching Staff Thread

[The Saltman]

I'm kind of iritated with Cleveland left overs. Granted he's been with San Diego of late, but the point reamins he got let go in Cleveland. Davidson didn't work out too well and he was a Charlie Weiss guy.

chud got fired from the cleveland staff because of a new regime not because he has Jeff Davidsons pedigree. he is supposed to be a guy who helped norv turner make the chargers playbook.

[Dpantherman]

there is an article out there praising with Norv praising Chud for his work with the team. He helps draw out playbook and gamplans. He works directly with Norv (who is an excellent offensive mind). And maybe you can't discount his bad year in Cleveland, but at the same time, you can't discount his great year, and his time in San Diego.

What about QB coach and Special teams assistant?

And I believe Sam Mills is DL not quality control.

I hope you're right. Remember Davidson was going to open up our offense like the Pats when hired here. One could say Fox nixed any sort of open-style offense, but I do recall the arrival of the anti-Henning when Jeff was hired.

Hey, I hope the guy helps light up the scoreboard. Being a former Cleveland coach is just one big ass asterisk next to their name is all I'm saying--kind of branded for life like a drunken tattoo some people have to live with.

There were people in Cleveland who thought he threw too much. Roll that around in your head. RT @BruceBrewski Chud's offensive philosophy?

The report I read is he's the ASST. DL coach and DQC. In other words, his role will be unchanged form last year.

nothing yet, I doubt they will wait long though. we've got the bulk of the staff right now

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I really want to see who the QB coach is Panthers quit fooling with everyone damnit.

what about QB coach?

I thought that was what Jay Gruden was originally interviewing for. I now know it was for OC, but the guy would be a perfect QB coach being one in college in addition to professionally playing and coaching in the pass-happy AFL.

[Dpantherman]

turns out there IS a chance Skipper could return:

According to a league source there's a chance Jim Skipper could return as running backs coach after all. Skipper had considered a spot with John Fox's staff in Denver, but is in the process of deciding which way he wants to go in his career. The Broncos are keeping their running backs coach from last year.

What in the heck would he coach? Tyipcally staffs don't have JUST an assistant head coach position anymore without coupling it with a positional/coordinators job, do they?

From what I've read, Denver's offensive coaching staff is set...Fox is retooling the defensive side of the ball.

I'd like to know who our QB coach is going to be as well, but Jim Gruden, Jay's dad, had something really interesting to say.

They apparently aren't going to be adding UFL coach Jay Gruden, who interviewed here over the weekend. Jim Gruden, the father of candidate Jay and former Bucs coach Jon, said that his son told him Monday he was out of the mix.

"He said it looked like they were going to hire the guy from San Diego," the elder Gruden said.

Ramsdell or Chud? Or both?
