Chudzinski already being eyed for a HC position?

[hepcat]

• For people looking at interesting coaching prospects, it should be noted that Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski has done some interesting things. So far, No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton(notes) is faring much better than expected in leading the Panthers to a 1-2 record. More impressive, it was Chudzinski who helped turn Derek Anderson(notes) into a Pro Bowler in 2007 (29 TD passes, 19 interceptions). Although things fell apart in Cleveland the following season when injuries hit, Anderson threw 38 touchdown passes compared to 27 interceptions with Chudzinski. For the rest of his career, Anderson’s totals are 15-28.

Of course this is very premature but it's just interesting to see pundits already throwing out his name...

Meh.

[Doc Holiday]

can we at least shelve this talk till the end of the season please??? he's not on anyones radar right now, remember the Jeff Davidson rumors??

[Ivan The Awesome]

This shouldn't even be a discussion yet. We haven't won anything and he's just starting out! Good god.

[Boltergeist]

Chud could very well be this year's Pat Shurmur - and he might be further along than Shurmur was at this point last year.

[Double34Trouble28]

Not to mention he will want to be around for the Super Bowl in 2014. Yeah, the one we are gonna win.

Ha remember when Jack Del Rio was our DC through the SB run and then the next year he became Jags HC. The after Del Rio left for the HC postion. Our D slowly went down hill from there. I'm not saying Chud is all of a sudden a OC guru and getting us 3 straight wins already. But if Chud leaves then Cam might regress like Derek Anderson did with the Browns the Chud left. Ron needs to convince him to stay if he get a HC offer.:svengo:

Jason Cole has been on his knees ever since the season started. After he shat on Newton and the team coming into the season. Pay no attention to man behind the computer screen.

[Jackofalltrades]

I really hope he sticks around for a few years, I'd like to see Cam grow in one offense and stop changing every year, like Alex Smith.

[frash.exe]

people aren't going to sign him for one good year of offense. we won't have to start worrying till the end of next season

[Razzy]

It will take another 2-3 years of solid offense until that happens.

[SOJA]

hopefully not, we need him around

Actually the defense didn't get that much worse. In fact the 2005 version under Trgo was better than the Del Rio version in points allowed which is the only stat. Chud was also in Cleveland the year after he was an All-pro when due to injuries the team struggled and he regressed.

just sayin..................

Have to say that while he took what amounts to a demotion in the move to San Diego, considering the staff there it was another plus on his resume. It was, after all, Cleveland.

Here in Carolina, everything's coming up roses for him up to this point. He has a #1 pick, rookie QB on the fast track to possible franchise status. The stacked TE corps has all the elements he needs (youth, veteran presence) at the position he identifies with the most. Now he has to utilize them and hope the rest of the offense fits together. I still think it will take weeks more to burn the new playbook in, but we'll see how quickly the offense matures.

No way he steps off this boat until he gets solid results, and at his age (43) he has plenty of time to ascend the NFL coaching ladder. I also think being on the same staff as Rivera in SD is a huge plus for the stability there. They've both committed to Carolina, I like our future with them.
