So... Who does Rivera fire/replace from his staff?

[CardiacCats]

I just want him to bring in Norv Turner as assistant head coach / offensive coordinator. Maybe just demote Chud or something.

thats what I wish, or Pat Shurmur but its never gonna happen

[Mr. Scot]

Eh, Whitfield and Weinke make a shitload of money on providing private lessons, doubt they'd be willing to give it up to be a full-time coach.

No reason why they should.

Why give up autonomy for accountability?

[TheCrackasaur]

I'd like to see an OC not named Chudzinski or Turner.

[Khaki Lackey]

I don't see any coaching personnel changes. We can only hope that the current staff has learned its lessons. Hopefully JR gave them an ultimatum and there is a sense of urgency.

[XClown1986]

Safeties coach, special teams coach, tight ends coach (aside from olsen they have done nothing), all should be fired at minimum

[Mr. Scot]

Might be kinda tough to fire the safeties coach seeing as we don't have one.

(Steve Wilks coaches the entire secondary, and I doubt he's going anywhere)

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Realistically, no one.

I wish he would replace...

OC - Rob Chudzinski with Norv Turner

ST - Richard Rogers with Dave Toub

Assistant OL - Ray Brown with Juan Castillo

Strength and Conditioning - Joe Kenn with Rick Lyle

QB - Mike Shula with Chris Weinke

[rayzor]

they were all trending upward. why change?

Wilks was fantastic this year.

For those that want Turner - read on Chud for five seconds. Chud made his name working under Turner. Even if the team fired Chud, Turner probably wouldn't take that job for that reason. He's not going to take a position coach job. There's just not a place here for that to happen.

There is a difference between wanting someone and thinking it's going to happen.

Most of us (most) recognize that there is no way that Norv Turner will be a part of this staff but it would be a good pick up if he did join the staff.

Chud is just a little to bit of a bipolar play caller, I'm sure he is a great guy and a good human being but he really needs to work on staying consistent throughout the game regardless of what the fans say (whether they boo or cheer).

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I think he needs to replace both is coordinators. Chud is the one making the team look bad with his retarded play calling. McDermot needs to go because basically Rivera had to take over and coach the defense the last 3/4 of the season by himself.

[KillerKat]

Chud needs to go!

[Jackofalltrades]

My point was that I want to see Cam have someone known for developing QB's, not a guy just taking the next step of the ladder.

[Bj-Monster23]

I don't think nobody is going to get replaced. Rivera is probably going to stick with the guys he hired. Why change since we finished last year strong?
