Yeah it's Sean Ryan or McAdoo. Bakers been here like 3 months and still seems like he doesn't know all the plays being called, what's a random coordinator gonna do with the DooDoo playbook

Ryan worked under McAdoo in New York.

He actually has offensive weapons to use

They all better than McAdoo

I’m not sure anyone is “cutting the mustard” with PJ Walker as their QB. Stick with Benny and we’re guaranteed a top 3 pick.

Norv Turner and his son that season was fine,till Cam got hurt.

Suppose current OC Ben McAdoo continues to not be able to cut the mustard? Where could interim head coach Steve Wilks turn for help?

Obviously, you can't install a new offensive system in the middle of the season. That would leave Wilks searching for an on-staff replacement, with quarterback coach Sean Ryan likely being the only viable option.

But if Wilks we're to, say, reach out to someone who could come on board as a consultant to maybe call plays or assist in some other fashion, who would some of the options be?

Looking back at his history, the following names present themselves...

Norv Turner, Retired, Former Panthers OC

Turner and Wilks have worked together twice, first in San Diego then with Carolina. Norv would be readily available (as long as his wife agrees).

Jim Skipper, Retired, Former Panthers RB Coach

Skipper and Wilks we're on the Panthers staff together for a bit and he's been an OC before.

Freddie Kitchens, Senior Analyst, University of South Carolina

Kitchens has a consultant type role already at the college level. He and Wilkes were together in Cleveland along with OL Coach James Campen.

Rob Chudzinski, Special Assistant to the Head Coach,  Boston College

Another current college consultant, and an acquaintance of Wilks from their Charger days.

Todd Haley, Head Coach, Tampa Bay Bandits (USFL)

Haley was let go from the Browns and replaced with Kitchens. He's technically got a full-time job but this is his offseason.

Not a great best, but not a terrible one either.

Mind you, there are other potentially better options but most of them are currently employed elsewhere in the NFL.

Can't say I really expect anything like this to happen, but there are options at least.

Steve Logan is in Raleigh I believe. 

Was on offensive staffs with Tampa Bay and San Fran. I believe he was an OC in NFL Europe amongst other things. 

He's considered a QB whisperer. Elevated Matt Ryan and the ECU guys.

Biggest failure, was brought in to Fix Kaepernick  and couldn't do it

Jim Caldwell would be really interesting as well, not sure if he has a connection to Wilks or not.

2011 yes, that 2012 opener fuging sucked

I think they are going to borrow a line from Fox and say the answer is already in the building.  I don’t think a whole new offense is being installed or anything such as that but some philosophy and tenacity will change I hope.  Do I expect them to win?  No, but I hope there will be an attitude that has not been present for a while.

Hopefully Wilks told him we need more runs and play actions and less RPO's and quick slants. That poo was not fooling anyone. Wilks doesn't need to be an offensive genius, but he can basically explain to McAdoo what D's are seeing and why this poo isn't working.

He should call Cam Newton and run it back. May seem irrational at first, but there's no way a Cam led offense would look this bad. Our team is here because of the way we treated our franchises greatest Quarterback. This is Karma
