The media will have a field day if we hire Shurmur

I can see it now

"Chudzinski becomes HC of Browns, so the Panthers hire the guy the Browns fired to replace him"

So help me christ I'll riot.

sometimes good coordinators dont make good Head Coaches, doesnt change the fact that they are still a good coordinator.

Shurmur is neither. He never had a winning record as an OC, and put up one of the worst seasons in NFL history at 1-15.

What qualifications does he even have? That he was Andy Reid's QB coach for 6 years? Cause I sure as hell wouldn't qualify his 2 years in St. Louis as a glowing resume either.

I have come to the fact no one else wants to coach here.

Ima start a riot ima start a riot.

If we hire Shurmur it will mean Gettlemen wants Rivera to fail so he can replace him. That is the only way to make sense of that hire when there are so many other better candidates out there...wow. Pat flippin Shurmur.

[Salvo]

This has nothing to do with Gettleman. Staff jurisdiction is controlled by the HC.

If he hires Shurmur, it either means Rivera is a masochist or a moron.

Aside from his prior connection to Rivera, I don't understand why this guy is even being interviewed. It makes no sense.

That's it. HC hires staff, and apparently Rivera wants his friends in with him.

Other than that, Shurmur is ass.

[Future of the Funchise]

fug that. Nothing stands in the way of success like your friends. I have been blindly devoted to Rivera and I believe that he's a good coach that is learning to be a head coach. But if he gives Shurmur the job just for the fug of it because they're old pals I'm gonna be pissed. With his shitty resume` I wouldn't hire Shurmur to scrub my toilet.

No need to overreact until he gets hired. Even then you can assume that Rivera believes that the guy he hires will do a great job. No reason to assume you know better. Coaches know more than 1 system and can adapt. After all what made you think Chud would be so innovative based on what he did at Cleveland as OC.
