Who would you rank as the Panthers BEST Offensive Coordinator in Team History....

[TheBigKat]

We've had 26 seasons of Panthers Football and the following offensive coordinators:

Joe Pendry

Gil Haskell

Bill Musgrave

Richard Williamson

Dan Henning

Jeff Davidson

Rob Chudzinski

Mike Shula

Norv Turner

Joseph Brady

 

Who would you rank as the best?

 

For me, it is Mr. A punt is not a bad play, the original get off my lawn Dan Henning. Yes his 3rd and long draw plays made us go crazy but some of that was likely due to John Fox's conservatism but I feel under Henning this team was well balanced. He knew how to get guys open in Moose, Smith, he knew how to feed certain players when they were balling (Davis) and even knew how to work the 1-2 punch in Davis / Foster. He took a journeyman QB and put him in a position to succeed which the jury is still out on Brady. I also feel in retrospect he was probably the best game day caller we had as when we got Norv father time had caught up to him.

 

Chud and Brady may have the best play designs but imo hands down if I was to go into a SB matchup and had to pick one of these guys as my OC, I would take Henning

Damm dude. How many threads is this? 47? Making up for all that lost time you  spent on the Pats board?

Also, didn't we just have this thread a few days ago? Yeah, I'm rage posting. When you are trying to start a Revolution. You have to be willing to make sacrifices.

Get an OC, panthers fans rip on him relentlessly. Gets fired, repeat.

we can start another "I am sad" or "my gut says everything is going to be alright" threads

Chudzinski or Brady, honestly. 
 

I was not into analytics or nuances of Offense Coordination before Cam so I’d be lying if I said Henning or whoever engineered that 2008 offense.

Chud

Hennig was the OG run run pass

Panthers fans don't make front office decisions. 

If they were fired, it's because they were bad. If they got hired on as a HC, it means they were probably good.

What a sad list

Chud

"In 2011, Chudzinski was named the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator. He took one of the league's worst offenses in 2010 and transformed it into one of the top 10 offenses in 2011 with rookie quarterback Cam Newton. The Panthers finished seventh overall in the league on offense, fifth in points scored, and set a new franchise record for total yards in a season."

 

How much of this was Chud and how much of this was he had a young Cam to work with

[joemac]

Chud. Simple as.

2-TE sets plus rookie Cam slinging was a match made in heaven.
