McDermott and Shula

[DaveThePanther2008]

Our defense is a top 5 defense and our offense is now becoming very steady and productive.

 

As coaches on the hot seat lose their jobs you gotta wonder if these two will become candidates for head coaching jobs.

 

The last time we had a top ranked defense (2nd I believe in 2002) we lost Jack Del Rio our DC to Jacksonville.

 

Right now I believe McDermott has a huge upside but might be too young to run a team.  Mike Shula is a retread and might get a look.

 

Now to my question.  If we lose either of these coaches, who replaces them. 

 

Defensively I would like to see Wilks get the job.  I think hiring up the current staff gives us the best opportunity to keep the same scheme and defensive playbook.

 

Offensively replacing Shula from within would be tougher than the defensive side of the ball.  Mainly because Shula was brought up from the Chudz staff and the playbook is basically the same.  Though Shula is not as high octane as Chudz was, I like the efficiency. (getting better I should say)

 

Would you choose from within or go outside the organization for someone else.

[Lemory]

We're not going to lose either of them unless Ron and staff gets the boot.

[Dex]

Eric Washington will be our DC one day.

My God...they've only won 3 games. You would think the Panther's had just won the SB.

 

I don't think anyone is going to be knocking on the doors to hire them away at this point. MAYBE in a year or two but only if they prove they can produce consistently.

 

[Jakob]

Could you imagine where this team would be right now with  Norv Turner/Mcdermott coordinator combo.

[Lemory]

Eric Washington will be our DC one day.

 

One can only hope. I love me some Wash.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

fire them!

 

oh wait, we're not doing that this week?

[JawnyBlaze]

We're not losing either of them unless the whole coaching staff goes. Won't be replacing anyone from within.

I NEVER IMPLIED WE WON THE SUPER BOWL.  You don't have to win the Super Bowl to lose a coordinator.   Chudz in Cleveland is a prime example.   He was also interviewed after Cam's rookie year but didn't get a position.

 

Jack Del Rio was our defensive coordinator for ONE season but ranked #2 we are currently #3.  McDermott is young and the defense has been solid all year.   Don't think for one second teams with coaches on the hot seat don't notice this.

 

Shula I would agree but if Shula puts us on the positive side of the W/L record.  His name will surface too.

[Mr. Scot]

I still don't think McDermott's ready to be a head coach.

[Dash Global]

Shula aint surfaces shii unless we field a top 10 O which I  highly doubt will happen

[Bloodflood]

Eric Washington will be our DC one day.

I disagree, I think if we ever lost McD for some reason that Steve Wilks would get the promotion.

[Johnny Rockets]

I still don't think McDermott's ready to be a head coach.

Not even close and I don't think he is interested right now . He was completely overwhelmed when he was thrown into the role of DC when Johnson passed away. McDermott needs a few more years under his belt to build his resume and is in a great spot right now and I think he knows it.
