Cowher ready to coach

[holycrikey]

I don't think the Panthers are a long term rebuild. New staff and a few key pieces with decent qb play and this team should bounce back to relevance fairly quickly.

What I was saying is that I don't think Cowher would come back for another 10-15 year run at a team. I just can't see him being with a new team that long. However, I think the Panthers are at least two to three years away from another playoff push. They have a lot to correct and I don't think Cowher (at his age) is going to want to jump into that mess when there are plenty of other playoff-ready teams that will want a coach and will pay him top dollar.

I just see no way that Cowher and the Panthers would fit from a philosophical and financial standpoint. I think the only reason it seems to fit is his physical connection to the Carolina's. That's it.

I think people may be surprised how much this team can turn around with some consistency at QB, a new OC and a new head coach and philosophy.

lol who would that be?

[rayzor]

just say no to the chin.

I don't know but it's obviously not someone we have now.

Oh, gee, Florio talking out his rear again.

I though we all agree'd not to to go to this clown's site?

that will be someone we have to draft.

[Goosfraba21]

can also come from free agency or trade

there is crap available in FA and trading for one that would actually be worth building an offense around would cost a whole lot more than a first round pick overall.

you need a veteran guy...and you can find one in the upcoming free agency, e.g. seneca wallace or hasselbeck.

I'd rather go for a FA-guy (whom you saw in the nfl already) than draft a rookie...especially when you have already two of them.

I guess we'll see how stuck JR is on emulating the Stillers. This is a golden opportunity for him to try to turn the Panthers into the Steelers South. We'd still be missing a major piece of the puzzle...ie the Rooney family, but I doubt if JR will ever view himself as a weak link in the chain.

1) none of those guys are worth starting or building a team around

2) we need a vet brought in...but not to start. on the sidelines and as a backup. rookie will become a vet soon enough.

we won't keep both rookies from this year...i'm fully expecting none of the QBs on the roster to be around after this year. pike would be released (only a 6th rounder). moore will just not be re-signed. clausen will be traded.

49ers are in about as bad a shape at QB as the panthers. you want them to go after one of the FAs this year? lol good luck with that.

cowher = old man - we need a young guy with energy.

Young guy with energy = Josh McDaniels and i sure as hell dont want him coming to the Panthers.

The thing is Cowher will probably want complete control which means Hurney would be out. From what Gantt and everyone else has said Hurney is as safe as houses so I don't see it happening. I would love it though. Great coach.

Thats purely an assumption.
