if you were Norv..

[bLACKpANTHER]

Cam vs Weeden?

Smitty, Lafell, Olsen vs Cribbs?

Deangelo, Tolbert, Stew vs Trent Richardson?

Rivera gives you free reign vs Chud mingling in offense?

Top 10 defense vs pooty defense?

coach with son or not coach with son.

Option C. Stay home or hit the beach and count my damn money.

So does Turner coming here depend on Turner staying here?

I think the only advantage in going to Cleveland would be knowing that Chud would most likely get 2 years, where Norv would know Rivera might only have this year. But, maybe Norv would think he could call much better plays than Chud and he would have won several of those close games last year. In that scenario, the Panthers most likely make the playoffs and he looks like a great OC. I would think the upside with the Carolina Offense is much better than working with Cleveland. Plus would you rather live in Cleveland or Charlotte?

1 year gamble vs 2 year gamble

Let's face it people we are a horrible franchise. We have people choosing the browns over us.

[dgr81]

cleveland has a much better oline which is high on norv's list

[UNCrules2187]

Chud got paid. 5 years, 3.something million per. He will def get at least 3 years there unless he bombs out and goes 1-15 his first year. And history has shown that Chud is pretty good in Year 1.

[OchoNueve]

When you elevate your career from a coordinator to a Head Coach, I don't consider that choosing one franchise over the other... Got to look out for numero uno.

1 year gamble vs 2 year gamble

THIS.

Norv isn't dumb enough to think he wants a part to be with a lame duck HC. I have the same feeling going into the 2013 season as when I did in 2010. 2013 will be Rivera last stop.

[Bj-Monster23]

With Chud going to Cleveland we should expect Scott Turner to go also. From my understanding Scott is Chud right hand man. If Scott goes to Cleveland expect Norv to follow.

[carolina-chuck]

If Scott goes to Cleveland expect Norv to follow.

Norv is already there

[CC Rider]

Rivera may be a practical lame duck this year, but that could be a good thing for Norv if comes here... If/when Rivera gets canned mid-season, Norv could be there to step in as HC. Not saying I want Norv as HC, but it might be a smart move on his part to come here... If Panthers do great, he's a hero. If they suck, he can step in as HC with a built-in excuse for a loosing season.

It's win-win for Norv
