Is Norv Turner taking over as interim head coach a detrimental move to the team's playoff push?

If everyone gets their wish and we fire Ron, replacing him with Norv makes by far the most sense.

Of course that brings him out of the booth and down on the field. Something would happen differently with offensive play-calls.

Assuming all that gets worked out, does this give the team any kind of measurable advantage? We are still in the playoff hunt and any moves made now have to be made with that in mind.

Could Turner give this team a chance for an effective playoff run that Ron can't?

Would he even want to be a HC again? Didn’t we have to lure him out of retirement? He may not want all that responsibility. Although, he clearly was poo today on our first two RZ possessions. 7 straight runs I believe instead of a perfect cam newton throwing or a play action.

Norv Turner is just another version of Ron Rivera as HC, maybe even worse and at best only slightly better.  There is a reason those super talented Chargers teams never did much.

But I doubt Turner would agree to that happening anyway.  I don't think he wants to be saddled with any head coaching duties.

No matter the changes in logistics, making Norv the HC would be a net positive.  Norv was at least an average coach that won a lot of games over his career with a lot less talent on his rosters...  i would be completely ecstatic if Tepper made this happen.

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
