boyst Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 oh? Did not hear that. Wow, hadn't heard that. Is there more to the story? Proehl stepping aside etc...from what ive understood per Carolina message board it may not be officially announced but they've parted ways oer Dorsey's request Evidentally this falls back to Newton vs Rivera. Stock has fallen a lot. And thats awful because the team has a good chance to make a run in 2017. What's getting out is thatNewton has lost the locker room, has been quoted saying he is interested in taking a year off, having already said he didn't focus on 2016 and had other interests in mind. This is causing ripples in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Funny that it happened so under the radar, after all the "front runner" chatter! Would be an interesting, young choice. Unknown with potential to grow (or fail, I guess)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Buffalo or Miami...hope it doesn't come down to the weather. Can't imagine this would happen, but could the Panthers still block a move? i am not sure if he has a family, but NFL coaching is much less taxing than college due to recruiting. It's extremely time consuming and stressful especially for the position coaches who do the bulk of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Booey Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Out of the box thinking, not a retread which we all hoped for. Just don't know if it's the right choice. I personally would prefer AVP. But much better than Olsen. Have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Panther fans clamoring for Shula to be fired. The offense took a huge step back this year. Not a lot of love for any of the offensive coaches. This would be pretty lackluster to turn over our whole offense to a first time OC like Dorsey. There seems to be a severe lack of qualified OC's around the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 LOL...I knew you'd say that soon as I typed it as you said that in the SB yesterday. The Super Bowl was yesterday?

NoSaint Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Did a good job with Cam. Yea mechanically can is terrible.

Early on in 13 it was argued the pays limited Newtons visibility and he was only to read 3 targets. This is why he would run. Interesting enough to hear this take. Its never been verified but it was a popular mantra. In 2014 he was given more reign, whenever they got Ginn back it really changed the play calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The thing is, all of the great Coordinators had to start somewhere and without opportunity, you never know what you have. I understand the AVP love, but considering McD worked with him in Carolina, I would think McD is pretty sure he knows what he's getting. Would think they've spitballed ideas over lunches and work about if / when they get their opportunity. So, since it's fresh and new and we're looking long-term, if McD is good with it - I'll take the open mind route and wait to see what unfolds....this kind of hire would also make sense of all the other position hires thus far.
