[Laetitia]

No Russ Grimm!!!

[PandaMan]

More of these "sources"... *sigh*

[rayzor]

this is good news to me...

The Panthers are not interested in pursuing Russ Grimm, assistant head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, who has been rumored to be a leading coaching candidate.

Regardless of whether the coordinator has an offensive or defensive background, Carolina will not try to win by running the ball incessantly and attempting to win with defense. The Panthers know the old model doesn't work.

They'll emphasize offense in general and quarterback in particular.

I hope we give Brian Schotty a look.. but I bet we go after a DC.

No to Schottenheimer. The Jets offense has been pretty bad at times and always very inconsistent. He does have a very good history of developing QB's, but no to him as a head coach.

My (non-Harbaugh) list:

1. Mike Zimmer

2. Ron Rivera

3. Sean McDermott

4. Perry Fewell

5. Mike Pettine

LUCK IS NO FOOL,he knows his coach is gone, 4 of his starting oline are seniors,new coach coming in which means new playbook and new schemes,add all that up it means he will be nowhere as productive at stanford next season than this season,and possible career ending injury? GUARANTEE LUCK IS COMING OUT

[RealisticFan]

No more three yards and a cloud of dust football!!! According to the sources..... Sources say that the game has changed and so should the offensive philosophy.

From Steve Reeds article the Panthers want a Coach who will be the public face of the franchise; A coach who is more willing to talk to the media and who is willing to do commercials etc...Russ Grimm does not fit that..I would think Harbaugh might but JR sort of shot that bubble atm-unless Danny Morrison convinces them to try and get him.

^Him, McDermott, Zimmer and Rivera I like.

sources say I will get drunk tonight

[Raskle]

I wonder if Sorenson's "source" has talked to JR and the FO since Harbaugh beat the poo outta VT last night?

I seriously, seriously doubt it. National stage and his coaching came through very well. If we don't even interview the man, I'll be completely livid at this front office. Not much else I'll be able to do, since I still pull for our guys no matter what, but I'll not be a happy camper, that's for sure.

I wouldn't mind having a defensive coordinator as our head coach as long as he lets our offensive coordinator do his job. I hated how Fox always ran our offense. I am really interested to see who our cordinators will be and I really would like to see who our offensive line and running back coach will be considering that we already had great O-line and Rb coaches.
