Andy Reid or Norv Turner.. Which would you pick?

[Mother Grabber]

what an awful choice. That's like choosing between light brown and dark brown poo.

[Panthers128]

I don't know why a high profile coach would want to choose the Panthers. Richardson basically threw Fox under the bus and he has time and time again shown that he does not care much about the team being competitive. His only goal is profits. Despite having no faith in Fox he kept him as coach his final season simply because he didn't want to pay two coaching staffs.

Some random coordinator might not care about this since they want a chance to prove themselves as a coach. Andy Reid or Norv Turner aren't so naive. They will wait for a better opportunity. Ownership that is invested in winning football games. Also any coach who has seen the past three Panthers drafts would be a fool to take the position assuming Hurney will be retained. Not to mention on how inactive the team tends to be in free agency...

Who's this Jim Harbaugh guy? Maybe Richardson is so busy looking at the bottom of the NFL standings that he never sees what's happening at the top.

Andy Reid is quite overrated IMO. The Eagles miss Jim Johnson and i believe it was he that was the key to much of Philly's success in the 2000s.

Lol @ Turner.

[thefuzz]

Norv has ever done anything as a head coach in spite of 3 tries.

Why in the world would we want him here as anything more than a OC?

Fox and Norv have almost the exact same winning %.

Just saying.

Its like asking whether I want AIDs or Cancer......

[Mother Grabber]

at least with AIDs you got some...just sayin

[UNCrules2187]

BTW, I would hire Stanford coach David Shaw if we get rid of Rivera. He'll be the next big college coach to jump to the NFL IMO.

[j2sgam]

Have to be Reid if those are the only choices.. Norv is a great OC but a HC he is not...

Promote from within, fug it, make Ricky Proehl the new head honcho... See what happens, cant get much worse...

[carolina-chuck]

Both, Reid as HC and Turner as OC.

[1989]

Your mom.

[KillerKat]

If RR is going to be removed as HC, I think I'd like Zimmer and hopefully RR can stay as the DC.

[Dash Global]

Neither,

I SERIOUSLY dont understand why people want a coach that has proven they cant get the job done ie win a SuperBowl.

Why we would want another teams trash is beyond me.

You mean like about 20% of the players on our team that Sand Diego dumped or the castoff coaches from the Cleveland and Philly dynastys?

Reid is the beneficiary of a very well run personnel system in Philly. I have my doubts as to whether he'd be able to duplicate his successes away from that system.

They've had at least three directors of college scouting in the last ten years. Also being VP of football operations his opinion on personnel has a tremendous weight attached to it, no pun intended.

Add in that he's one of those coaches whose teams always look great in the regular season but all too often fold in the playoffs.

10-9 record in the playoffs. If by "fold" you mean "Marty Schottenheimer fold", you're horribly mistaken.

Realistically if we wanted to take a serious shot at improving and Andy Reid's just sitting there waiting to be hired after being run out of Philadelphia, there's no reason not to hire him. People here were so much in favor of hiring Rivera, who has the sideline presence of a walking stick.
