Question about Sam Mills

I was thinking about the current coaching situation the Panthers are in and was wonder what other people's opinions were about a thought I had.

Does anyone think that if Mills had not gotten cancer and eventually died that he would have taken over as DC in 2004 and then became the head coach at some point during Fox's stint as HC? Was he that good of a coach and/or did JR have him on a fast tract?

Just wondering what other people think...

I know he was very important to the franchise as testament to him having the only non management statute outside the stadium(and probably will be for a while). He was a good player and coach and it is very possible that he would have been promoted to DC I'm not sure if he would have become HC though.

he declined to interview as DC in 2003. The job wasn't available in 2004, so I don't know what that date was supposed to signify. So, regardless of living hypotheticals he didn't feel he was ready.

Del Rio left us for the HC job in Jacksonville in 2003, that's why they were interviewing for DC. Beginning of the Turdovac era.

      his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen.

      Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.

      Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
