Marc Trestman has a Jimmy Clausen connection

Both ESPN and Pro Football Weekly have mentioned #Als coach Marc Trestman as a prime candidate to be Ron Rivera's OC in Carolina #Panthers

Another reason #Als coach Marc Trestman is a prime candidate to Ron Rivera's OC. Trestman tutored Jimmy Clausen prior to the draft #Panthers

When I asked #Als coach Marc Trestman this AM about reports he's a top candidate to be Ron Rivera's OC - he refused to comment #Panthers

problem is, we'd have to fight San Fransisco for him, Jim Harbaugh has his eyes on him

Like him better as QB coach, TBH.

Like I said in the other thread about him, everything seems great, he has success everywhere he goes... But, problem is, he seems to never stay in one place to long and he's been out of the NFL for awhile now, so I wonder if his style will still be as successful as it was with the Raiders when he was last with them.

He won't leave to.be a Qc. I think if he comes here he would be oc. I saw that he was nc state oc in 2002 what do the wolfpack fans think of him?

He has ties but I don't think he comes here. Chudzinski is gonna be the guy, unless they go after someone on a team that loses this weekend. Just my opinion.

I did find RR's comments about waiting to get permission to speak with some coaches who might still be in the playoffs interesting... Makes me think that we haven't heard about all the possible candidates for the coordinator positions.

[The Saltman]

I don't want chudzinski. Rr might but hurney might not.

Tom Clements from the Packers could be the guy Rivera was talking about for O.C.

The Packers denied the Bears permission to interview him for their O.C. job last year, though. Could have very well been because they're in the same division, but that's something to consider.

OC, but not here. Herad he's got something else lined up. RT @CatalystNX Marc Trestman more likely for O.C. or QB coach?

Gnatt is shooting this one down

I think we are looking at someone on the teams playing this weekend, just from a comment RR said at the presser.

RR "there are a few names that we havent reached out to, by staying in the rules"

sounds like coaches that are still coaching.
