Sigh, chud already being touted by media for rams job :(

[thunderraiden]

Went to see whose cut on black monday and at the end of a sporting news article Chidzinski was the one and only canidate they were preaching.

Who’s a good fit? The NFL is a copycat league, so the Rams should be inspired by the Carolina Panthers’ quick offensive turnaround and target offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. What would help in that scenario is luring A.J. Smith as general manager—who worked with Chudzinski in San Diego—if the Chargers make such a front-office change.

I'm optimistic that some of the coordinators who have a couple of years of success will be touted before Chud. That said, even if he leaves we already have the basis of a quality offence, we would just need to find someone who fits the methodology.

[The TrueGrit]

That team needs an offensive minded coach. Could be a great hire.

*sigh*

every week this same thread pops up.

i wouldn't worry about it.

[panthers55]

It really depends on whether they think that hiring Spagnuolo was a mistake because he had no head coaching experience. If you ndo, then hiriing Chud would be more of the same. If you think you keep looking for up and coming guys then maybe you take a chance on another coordinator with no head coaching experience.

If it were me though, I think I would go with a proven guy if I could find him and there was a good fit. I don't know thhere fan base would support another no name guy and several more years of struggle.

Im not sure i would want to coach anywhere with A.J Smith. Good luck keeping your players. He seems to really enjoy screwing over his players as much as they do in Cincinati.

[rainwater]

So when did the media hire people? I don't care who touts Chud for a job.

[Cat'sGrowl]

I just don't see it happening THIS year, especially with the heads not rolling as hard as everyone had anticipated.

[ladypanther]

I think it is a little early to consider Chud for a HC job....but he might get an offer.

And....who would want AJ smith?

[Strawman]

Wouldn't take this speculation too seriously. He's just the latest guy the media has heard of. I honestly don't think Chud is as important to Newtons development as Shula has been. So even if he does leave (unlikely), then we already have Norv's son on staff who could probably step right in and do a fine job.

[DFive]

Just because ONE article says that, everyone is getting their panties in a twist. The Rams want an A list coach. Chud is not gonna restore faith in that fan base unless Cam Newton goes with him. That team wants Jeff Fischer or some other proven HC. So just breathe. All will be fine. Chud isn't going anywhere. Once we make the playoffs, then you can all push the panic button because he will then be in HIGH demand. Especially if we go deep into the playoffs next season and Cam kills it during the regular season.

[vorbis]

got a feeling Fisher ends up in StL

[hepcat]

The only way I'm okay with Chudzinski leaving is if Norv Turner replaces him. I hope Rivera gives him some good advice about sticking it out and waiting your turn to be a head coach.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Norv Turner should be available..wouldnt that be some poo
