(Of course not during the season, Richardson is way to cheap to pay two head coaching salaries.

Unfortunately it’s obvious Jerry Richardson is old fashion, stubborn and ultimately cheap. Until he goes on to glory and the team is sold to owners willing to invest properly in players and staff, the Panthers will continue to be bad to mediocre.

Jackson has improved offenses for a long time. He even had the pathetic Raiders with no offensive talent outside of McFadden in the top 10 and we promote a guy that’s done nothing but fail in every stop along his career. To hell with continuity, I want improvement, not stagnation.

Coaching ability is not hereditary.

Sorry, Panthers fans, but that’s the way it is. I hope I’m wrong about this.

Shula is a good hire because he has a great relationship with Cam and knows the offense that suits Cam’ skill set. In 1999, his QB was Shawn King and his offense was to give the ball to Alston and Dunn., if memory serves me right. The defense was awesome. Shula will be fine–wait and see.

About Hue Jackson: If he is so awesome, why did no team hire him? Why did he get 2 interviews and was not selected? I thnk there is more to Jackson than the fans know. I am a Panther fan since the beginning, and I trust Gettlemen’s influence and RR’s decision. Chud was not a QB–now the OC and QB will think alike. Could be dangerous for you Saints fans who applaud the hire. I blame the Louisiana public school system and interfamilial romance.

Just ask Tony Sparano

Very conservative play caller.

I have a feeling I could have really climbed the coaching ladders in this offseason.

The problem will be execution and play calling. This is a double edged sword.

He’s not the best choice for coordinator. But at least he won’t be the guy making the draft picks. That’s some consolation for Panthers’ fans.

Having said that, I wish him all the best.

No other quarterback in NFL history has had a better first 2 years, (statistically) than Cam Newton… Why change things around now?

The Panthers should have beaten the Bears, Seahawks, Bucs(2nd meeting), Chiefs, and Cowboys. Not to mention a Haruki Nakamura 3 inch vertical to lose to the Falcons away from being a 12 win team.

The Panthers are a sleeping giant and all you nfloracle’s know it.

love,
Pilot

He’s stuck with what he has, however it would be wise to go all out for a quarterbacks coach and possibly hire a senior offensive assistant who understands their Coryell system.

He’s incompetent.

Wonder how far into next season he’ll get before he gets fired. I’ve got a month in the pool.

What on earth is going on with the Panthers? It’s starting to look to me like instead of selling the team two years after his death, The Big Cat wants to destroy it and leave nothing but bad memories and endless losses to those of us who were loyal to his team for so long.

This latest hire is just about the last straw. What with the tax on food and beverages so the common man can pay for a billionaire’s stadium upgrade, this is just getting to be too much.
