I think i like Peter King a little bit more

[Proudiddy]

In the same segment, he said we're going after a defensive coordinator for HC and an offensive-minded guy for HC.

In other words, LOL Peter King

Yeah, I caught that as well and thought, "Who the f is Peter King anyway..."

He's just throwing crap on a wall and hoping it sticks.

It's obvious Fox wasn't coming back since before the season, and it's been said ad nauseam that we aren't gonna go expensive with a new head coach...

Anybody that is speaking on what we'll do in terms of the future is speculating just like any of us are when we talk about it.

IMO, you can't rule out Cowher as a possibility b/c yes, although JR models our franchise after the Steelers who typically go with young, up-and-comers for coaches, Cowher is from the Steelers family. JR might find the investment in a well-known, well-regarded coach like Cowher who could re-energize the franchise with credibility coming in worth it.

Also, imagine if you spent all year hearing media saying how cheap you are and what you WON'T do. We'll have to wait and see.

So am I suppose to trust the opinion of a guy who had John Fox as coach of the year at the beginning of the season....no thanks

[MattB]

King is an idiot obviously but he is a legit insider who talks to a lot of GM's and coaches around the league. If he was told this by someone important it's pretty relaible I'd say.

[Delhommey]

King's typical prediction progression is:

3 things I think I know that I know:

1. Everything is black

2. The more you look at it, everything is white

3. In the end, I'm not really sure, but I'm pretty sure the world is gray...I think.

So this is par for the course.

That seems to be the popular route among national media these days. Cover all the bases and you'll be right eventually.

[Carolina Husker]

omg did he have any awesome personal anecdotes either?!?

[Skew]

That seems to be the popular route among national media these days. Cover all the bases and you'll be right eventually.

It's the old National Media Writer trick.

So no matter who we pick come January, he can tell everyone, "See? I was right."

[dimbee]

Peter has no inside info outside of north east teams.

No doubt.

Also apparently cowher wants the giants job.

Fiz has no inside info outside of his own asshole.

[KSpan]

So none of these things will happen.

Yes - the Panthers are clearly seeking an old, special-teams oriented coach.

[SorthNarolina]

whats with this bullshit about how cheap JR is going to be from now on? With coaches too?

I don't understand it.

[Razzy]

King has always been Panthers fanboy. At least we have 1 in the media.

[Cavscout]

Peter King is nothing more than a better fed version of Adam Schefter

[CatMan72]

I'm glad King is talking about the Panthers (nobody else is) but I don't think much of his opinion, which usually amounts to pure speculation.

[pantherfan81]

we all know john fox and his $6 million salary will be gone from carolina at the end of the season. And the panthers will look elsewhere for a coach. But it'll be a much less expensive coach. So scratch cowher, who now splits his time between raleigh and new york, because he won't be involved. Owner jerry richardson doesn't believe coaches are worth that much money.

Richardson and gm marty hurney are likely to look at the models of mike smith (atlanta), mike tomlin (pittsburgh) and john harbaugh (baltimore) for their next man. I expect them to hire a defensive-minded head coach, with a smart young offensive assistant or coordinator brought in to coach the quarterbacks -- which could be either jimmy clausen or, seeing that the panthers will likely have the first pick in the draft, stanford's andrew luck, if he chooses to forgo his final two years of college eligibility to turn pro.
