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.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
