Panthers Head Coach....Jeff Davidson??

[Dpantherman]

i accidentally posted this on another topic. excuse my spelling errors.

no i haven't heard anything, but its a thought. I think he is an excellent offensive mind, who does a good job with our offense. but he is overridden(sp.) time in and time out by the head coach. fox is often very conservative, and at times, runs when we should pass, and pass when we should run. Remember, this is fox's team, and of course, he was a D-Coordinator.

in other words, instead of looking outside the organization, if the Fox era comes to an end, what about Davidson I think he could most certainly handle it. he knows the team and the players. and if given control, I think he could get the job done.

i could see it happening from a playcalling perspective, but i know little of his leadership abilities.

I would imagine that Bill Cower will be the next coach of the Panthers. I think that he is just waiting until Fox eventually gets canned. Thats why he hasnt taken another job yet.

I thought Cleveland was recruiting Cowher heavily. is this true?

[Dpantherman]

i watched Inside the NFL on showtime and Warren Sapp asked Cowher point blank if he was coming back. He didnt say yes or no. meaning if he didnt wanted to he would have said so, but he doesn't want to be bombarded. It is also known that he would want more control than just head coach, so more than likely not only Fox, but Hurney would get the boot as well if Cowher came. so idk.

Only if he makes Matt Moore the starting QB!

thats usually the case with any new coach. but to be a coordinator, you have to have some sort of leadership capabilities to run the offense.

It prob is, but I don't see Cowher going back into that division. I think he has too much respect for the Steelers to do it. I guess crazier thing have happened in the nfl though.

why in the world would anyone at this point think Davidson is an excellent offensive mind? Unless you believe Fox is running the show and doesn't let Davidson do anything he wants.......then he is a wildcard unknown at best.

what is with the love affair with Matt Moore? he did good in 2007 and should have been inserted earlier. but ever since he went down last year i haven't seen anything from him. especially against the eagles backups.

When he broke his leg, they traded for Josh McCown and because he's a veteran Fox has made him #2 even though he sucks ass. So Matt has been stuck practicing with our back-ups so when he gets in the game his timing is off with Smitty and Moose. If they would just let him be the starter we will win football games, I would bet 2 box's of a dozen Krispy Kreme's on it.

well he didn't look GREAT in garbage time in 07 either. Can't judge a guy going into a game that is over....when he is asked to gamble and defenses know exactly what he has to do. Haven't seen anything since 07 b/c he hasn't taken any reps in legit situations.

Every knows that the Head Coach gets the final word on going for it on 3rd and 4th down. and when run and pass. thats why hes the Head Coach. Davidson has done a good job utilizing the TEs and running backs in the offense. I can't explain the relationship between head coach and OC, if you dont know, then u should ask. HC runs the show. OC calls the plays.

How do you know for certain that Fox overrules Davidson?

Why would they even pay a guy to be an OC if that is the case?
