Norv flew back to California without signing a deal.

[Jmac]

Maybe they didn't want the package deal with his son. Possibly have eye on a different QB coach?

[SOJA]

My point is can we at least interview a few other candidates? How about the guy from Philly? Or Arians?

Go after a college coordinator, imo. No one on staff already is capable. That didn't stop him with Shula though, so who knows. 

this is the direction i wish we would take. there's not a whole lot available out there right now who would be great OCs. the game is changing.

i don't think that's in ron's comfort level. he's old school and wants to bring his '85 bears back.

Maybe he's concerned that a new owner will come in and fire them all...?

very interesting thing to consider as well.

why put a lot of work into a situation when, in a couple months a new owner is going to fire the whole lot of you and take the team in a whole other direction. not exactly the best situation to be in.

[Zaximus]

I kind of hope he doesn’t.   We need someone creative in here.    Granted it’s Rivera so that’s probably not happening.  

[Ornias]

Rivera refused to give him full control over the offense?

[TheWiz]

And take your son with you!

[CarolinaNut]

I would think you would be a little more excited to jump into the opportunity to coach Cam Newton and be apart of a team that has been to the playoffs 4 out the last 5 years with a Super Bowl appearance.  I officially do not want Turner.  And he already spurned Ron once before to go coach in Minny.  If they couldn't get him to sign a contract here in Charlotte in 3 days move on to someone else.

This is weird.

I've heard from multiple current and former players that Ron doesn't meddle on the offensive side of the ball and lets the offensive coaches do their thing. Fox on the other hand was all up in their business.

FA and draft are gonna be a mess

No owner, no permanent GM, head coach, OC, DC all up in the air

Which direction, which FA to run which offense, who to draft.

The Huddle will be a hive for a good while going forward

[Squirrel]

As long as it isn't Shula. Would love to see a pass option OC.  But Rivera wouldn't go for it. 

[CRA]

I personally think Norv is coming in.....and asking for a LOT.  That is why the deal hasn't been done yet.  He is looking for a lot of job security for him AND a lot of his family.
