Panthers should hire Chris Petersen next

Just stepped down out of nowhere. Great coach.

Why did he step down though?

I can't wait to hear the reason why.

That's the (multi) million dollar question. I gotta think something really big and really bad has happened off the field to lead to this. Even if he has an NFL gig already lined up I think he would've absolutely stuck it out with his team that he recruited through the end of the season.

All reports are he just felt like stepping away. No ulterior motive.

He will continue working with the team in an advisory role. No tinfoil hat needed

I wonder if he's pulling a Pete Carroll and hitting the road before the NCAA comes down on the program for something.

If he really is stepping away to "recharge" as the reports say, I highly doubt he would want to jump into an even more stressful environment in the NFL.

Hopefully that's the case.

I would looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove that. Don't underestimate the power of how much Tepper can offer coaches either. Flash enough money and people that needed to recharge will suddenly be recharged.

Very rarely  does a collegiate coach step into the NFL and become a savior...

I'm not actually familiar with him or with the situation but this is valid.

[BrianS]

What's to stop him from doing the same here?  "Oh, sorry guys, too much stress, peace!"

No thanks.

I didn't necessarily think had to be something ulterior, one of my thoughts was that potentially a spouse or child had gotten seriously ill or something that would simply not allow him to effectively do the job.

Hey, at the end of the day, if he's over it I respect that. A lot of guys would've just mailed it in and kept cashing that check for awhile.

is the nfl more stressful?   the recruiting trail seems like the worst thing in the world to me.
