The Panthers Have Requested Permission to Interview Hue Jackson

[rayzor]

Hue Jackson from Oakland....

Shumur from the Browns....

2 horrible teams, that were worse than us....

this is where we are looking for our next OC?

no comment on shurmur. don't want him.

hue jackson, tho, was the only guy to make that team at all respectable in the past decade. he made their offense one of the best in the league and he's really well regarded from the little bit of reading i've done today.

[rayzor]

so Hue wasnt the head coach of Oakland? Also we are looking at him for OC not DC, so his work with defenses is irrelevant

i think this is the first year he's worked with defense. every program he's worked with has improved...at least every program that didn't shoot itself in the foot. he had the misfortune of being selected by petrino to help coach the falcons in what happened to be probably the biggest clusterf*ck in that franchises history (vick gets arrested and petrino quits and the team falls apart) and also the raiders who had a huge turnover at the top as in al davis dies and his moron son fires him.

he helped stephen davis become a stud, helped chad johnson and housh become one of the best WR duos in the league, and turned the raiders O from the worst in the league to a top 5.

[Marguide]

Hue's had an uncanny knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's a damn good coach.

[poorboysrev]

I agree. A power running game AND a vertical offense? Tha's just crazy talk. Come on Hue us or the Jets? Seriously

[SIGCHI222]

This guy?....

[Kevin Greene]

I wouldn't mind having Hue Jackson or any OC that is well experienced in the Air Coryell offense. The biggest question is how will they use Cam's running ability. Because if you take that away, I believe you are handicapping him to a one dimensional player.

Well Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are One Dimensional and generally stay upright and unhurt.

At some point in the very near future I'd like to see Cam run maybe 6 times a game tops, figuring at least 4 of those are scrambles away from pressure in the pocket that stab the opposing Ds in the heart.

Steve Young used to murder defesnes with his scrambling ability.

I want Cam healthy long term.

They are one dimensional because they don't have the option to run unlike Cam does. You can rush the passer against guys like Brady and Manning (if you get there of course) but if you rush the passer against Cam, you'll end up looking silly.

[The Huddler]

I stopped reading when "power running" was the first thing mentioned about his offensive philosiphy.

whats wrong with that? Lets have a panzi offense that sounds great. Cam needs a run game

I think that Hue did a good job in Oakland. That team and situation was so dysfunctional when he got there. I thought he was in the middle of turning things around when he got canned. Then again I would have said thing about Rivera if we had fired him. Both guys have been head coaches, so Rivera gets a guy to bounce things around against. And with all the issues Oakland had, Jackson is going to have seen quite a bit. Lets be honest, Oakland's has always had a good running game, it was the quarterback that was the issue. I would think that Hue would be itching to work with Newton and double trouble. If Oakland had Newton when Hue was there, he would still be a head coach.

I just hope Hue can use the same terminology for continuity purposes. Or at least use similar plays and concepts. (Without the read option as a mainstay.)

You don't wanna turn Cam into Vick, i.e. a guy that gets hurt so much he never finishes a full season.

By the end of this season, Newton was getting up slow an awful lot. That's not something I wanna see.

Run enough that opposing defenses have to respect the threat (like KG said, maybe 5-6 times a game, maybe even a few less) but don't overdo it.

I think the job Hue did in Oakland is what's getting him an interview here.

This is what I meant. I just couldn't articulate it well enough to get my point across. With Brady and Manning, there is no threat of them running. The D-Line can rush the passer as they see fit but with Cam, you will have to be careful how you rush him because the threat of him running and breaking free is an option.

Also about Vick, he get's hurt when he stood in the pocket like he did this year. I don't recall him ever being injured when he scrambled. I could be wrong though.

[SmittyistheGOAT]

YES PLEASE.

Hue is a stud, he went 8-8 with a raiders team that had not much talent

Darren McFadden was also a huge stud under him.

I'd cream if we get Hue.

Also, If we have to fire Rivera early next season he'd be a great one to fill in.

Two things that need to be done:

- Build an offensive line that can protect the quarterback (absolutely essential)

- Coach Newton to make his reads and decisions as quickly as possible

Do those two things and you minimize the chance of his getting busted up.
