Has Norv Turner actually been Hired ?

Recommended Posts

I keep seeing all these threads about how we should be excited, not be excited, how Norv will be good for Cam and how Norv will be Cam's death bed.  I checked the panthers web site and googled a bit but still haven't seen proof that NT has been hired by the Panthers.  Just wondering if I am missing something ?

No, not yet. As far as we know, he hasn't even interviewed yet.

I think it's more like he's doing the interviews.  Ron is going to have to sell him on taking the job I'm certain.

It will all come down to getting Newton to buy in however.  If Cam at with it then we have a problem.

i read up on his resignation in Minni— all of a sudden, said he felt like he was holding their offense back. 

 

At his age he is not going to compromise his beliefs so it's understandable.  He doesn't need the job or the stress.  He will take it if everyone buys in and stays bought it.  Otherwise they are wasting his time.

I would think if he did it would be from some unforeseen issue just revealed... I think generally the deal was done before this week.

I think if he isn't doing it, it would have been reported they would be interviewing other guys for the job. I have yet to hear anything about any other candidate interviewing for the job. I think Norv will be good if we add a #1 WR and a RB that can carry the mail on 1st and 2nd down, if needed. Remember, Turner coached RBs like LT, Turner, Tolbert, Sproles, etc. so he knows how to work with RBs as well as TE's (had Gates his entire time at SD). Also, he gradually helped Rivers, and although Cam isn't as dynamic of a passer as Rivers, he's never had a true Dual Threat. I think we will see similar things from Cam like we did from his rookie year with Chud as OC. I like this hire. We can't get much worse than what Shula did.

Cam will have essentially zero input into who we hire as OC. And that's the way it should be.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
