Ben McAdoo New OC

[electro's horse]

all things considered, might be the worst offensive coordinator hire in panthers history. 

Obviously shula, maybe jeff davidson, but given where the team is and what we know about mcadoo, this is a joke.

I have no idea how I feel about this.

Less disappointed than if it had been Gruden, I guess? 

[Mr. Scot]

Couple of connections here. The obvious one is the previously discussed Tom Coughlin connection. Rhule and McAdoo both worked for Coughlin in New York.

McAdoo was also colleagues with Sean Ryan. Ryan was the receivers coach under Coughlin when McAdoo was his quarterback coach.

Much preferred Jay Gruden. But ultimately it didn't matter, Rhule is still here

Well I already know I will have Sundays free next year. At least, I got that to look forward to.

Let’s face it. Most people would have been mad no matter who we hired. Some would even get mad if we fire Rhule. Sometimes this fam base makes me laugh. Here is to new beginnings.

We got the ‘Dad Bod Squad’ with Rhule and McAdoo.

Don't leave out Fitt. No buffet is safe with these fellas.

Might bode well for Tony Sparano as far as the OL coach job. He was on staff with McAdoo in Jacksonville as the assistant line coach (so was Gruden).

The Jags full time line coach was a guy named George Warhop. He's got a pretty long résumé and should be available. If we go back to Tom Coughlin connections, there's Pat Flaherty out of New York.

There's also guys like Doug Marrone, Juan Castillo, Mike Munchak, James Campen and others but I'm not expecting us to go that route.

I mean, I get it; there's probably nothing short of firing Matt Rhule that will excite the fan base at the moment, but this doesn't mean McAdoo is automatically a bad hire. He's had some results as as an OC. I'm more interested in his philosophy (queue @Mr. Scot)!

Somebody did give evidence that he wasn't a fan of Sammy before Sammy became Sammy, so that speaks to some competence in QB evaluation (just to make you feel better).

He’s worked with some of the best QBs in  Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning, future HOFers. It’s been said the Rodgers really liked him and gave him a huge endorsement when he took the Giants’ gig. Say what you want about his fallacies as a HC, but there’s no questioning the man’s play calling abilities. Obviously, his success here will hinge on how well they fill the OL coaching vacancy and improve the OL and QB issues. Overall, a solid if unspectacular hire IMO.

FWIW he was Jags QB coach while Minshew was starter for a year, could see him being brought in.
