The Next Head Coach

[Lakejamescat]

It is rumored that Ron Turner from the Colts would be an OC candidate for Rivera if he is hired. That is very funny considering last February Turner was with Stanford for a month before he took a job with the Colts.

95 Draft: targeted Kerry Collins over Steve McNair

96 Draft: selected Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George

98 Draft: picked Jason Peter over Vonnie Holliday

02 Draft: chose DeShaun Foster over Clinton Portis

And of course, there's the 1999 offseason when the two best available names in coaching were Mike Holmgren and George Seifert. We chose to go for Seifert

Granted, most of the people that made those decisions are gone. Still, it's the pattern. That's why every time I see the Panthers making a choice between two guys, I get nervous.

Happily, evidence this time points to them making - at least what I would consider - the right choice

That said, I'll still remain a tiny bit apprehensive right up until things are official.

Holmgren was off the board. George, like most Panther coaches, was decent when not hung out to dry.

Ron Turner is awful.

Ron Turner is awful.

While he was awful as a college head coach, i disagree about him being awful as an OC in the pro's

I'm not saying he was great or the best OC ever but at least we should have an offense that actually resembles an offense rather than being offensive

Also, if not mistaken, he was the OC for the Bears latest Superbowl run

[magnus]

he wasn't good. I really mean it, fairly bad.

Yea he was

Speculation from PFT that if the Browns nab Pat Shurmur, the Rams could go after Josh McDaniels.

[drnll4]

I THINK WE SHOULD GET JOSH McDANILES

Glad we are getting rivera he was my 2nd choice.. I really thought bill did want to coach the panthers but like everybody said he probably wanted too much control and money.

Ron Turner is awful.

Then I don't want him.

[Mr. Scot]

Cowboys might be getting former panthers DC - and recent Stanford DC - Vic Fangio.

Go Rams go.

I disagree

[Mr. Scot]

Browns mat interview Marty Mornhinweg, I suspect that may be for an OC job though. They're also interviewing Perry Fewell and Pat Shurmur. Word is they want an offensive coach (hence, why no Fox) so Fewell may not have a real shot.
