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

[TheOracle]

Whatever the media believes could make a small market team like the Panthers with a QB who's not a media favorite successful, they want it gone.

If Rivera had gone 16-0 this year, they'd be asking how long he'll remain in Charlotte before moving on.

I would think the bigger fear would be a team like Tampa decides to hire Chud. If they thought he could do for Freeman what he did for Newton they would not only upgrade their offense but take away from ours. They don't spend for big names so I would think that getting a coordinator would be right up their alley. Unless they needed a big name to put folks back into the stands, Chud would serve them in a number of ways weakening us and making them stronger offensively.

FWIW, players seemed resigned to Chud leaving for a HC job according to Steve Reed:

@SteveReed_AP A lot of Panthers players talking as if they expect OC Rob Chudzinski to get a head coaching job this year.

edit: Rivera just said another team has already contacted us about Chud:

@SteveReed_AP Another team has contacted the Panthers about Chudzinski, coach Ron Rivera says. He won't say who yet.

@SteveReed_AP Rivera said he won't say which team has contacted the Panthers until Jerry Richardson is informed.

The fact that Steve Reed seems to think this is the only Panthers story worth tweeting about leads me to believe that it's something Reed would like to see happen. He's probably already written the story, and is just waiting on it.

I'm sure the media a--holes can't wait to "SEE HOW CAM NEWTON WILL DO WITHOUT CHUDZINSKI", because we all know (SARCASM) that Chud's the ONLY REASON Cam had any success.

That idiotic talking point is one I don't look forward to.

reading too much into it, dude.

TBH not that I want him to leave, some of his play calling has been very suspect at times.

If we can get someone of similar style/background to replace him *cough Norv Turner cough* I'll be fine especially as we have a whole off season.

Though continuity would be nice, it won't be disruptive if the right guy is hired.

First it was Jack Del Rio to the Jags. Now Chud. Why in the crap are other teams always trying to take away anything good we have. There is so many other teams with much better records out there then us. GB SF, New England and so on. Leave our team alone!!:mad:

got a feeling Fisher ends up in StL

Nope! I bet he lands in San Diego

Hey, if Chud leaving results in the type of season we had after Del Rio left, I think I'd be able to live with it :)

BREAKING: League source says Jaguars are the team that has asked Panthers for permission to talk to Rob Chudzinski.

fuging Jags! Leave our damn coordinators alone.

Also this...

@josephperson ...Rivera would not identify team. Indicated Panthers might offer Chudzinski an extension/raise.
