Panther Fans Breathe Sigh of Relief with Mularkey Hire

PrintI admit it I was being cool, acting like we could absorb the loss of our new OC Rob Chudzinski if another team wanted to give him a promotion. The truth is inside I was screaming 'NOOOOOOOO'. Not now, not after we finally, after years of either run up the gut or pure comedy on offense we finally have a show to watch. The Panthers offense in 2011 was the most dynamic we've seen since Steve Beuerlein had the keys, but better. Yet we have been waiting to hear if the Jaguars would make an offer to Chud after interviewing and the waiting is over [sigh of relief]:
"Mike recognizes the challenge and opportunity before all of us, and that's to make the Jacksonville Jaguars one of the premier franchises in the National Football League, bar none," new owner Shahid Khan said in a statement. "In simple terms, Mike is aiming high."
Yeeeah for the Jaguars! Their offense will be full of Mularkey next year [pun intended]! So now we have nothing to worry about, our young dynamic OC will be back for another season....oh crap:
The St. Louis Rams have received permission to interview Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski for their vacant head-coaching position, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Will this ever end? Make it stop please!

Now we just have to hope Chud doesn’t end up in St. Louis.

Chud in St. Louis doesn't make sense.
I can’t remember who said it (and I’m too lazy to go back and find it), but Chud’s offense is built around the deep passing game…and St. Louis has Sam “5 yard slant pass” Bradford as its QB. It just doesn’t add up.
If St. Louis is going to hire Chud, then they need a new QB, or Chud will have to change his offensive philosophy to build around Bradford. It just seems easier to hire a defensive minded HC (Jeff Fisher) and get a WCO guy for OC to utilize Bradford’s “strengths”.

I think we are good
The rams have more a complete team than Miami. So i think that Jeff will be going to rams.
Not a good fit. Bradford is not going to work in his offense.
Either they an emergency candidate in case Fisher backs out or they are serious about Chud and they want to draft a new QB.
I like to think of myself as a one-man wolfpack.
RG III and Chud would be a nice combo im just glad teams seem to stupid to realize it. I think Chud stays at least for another year and builds on a already dynamic offense.

If the Browns come a calling
Then we should be worried. They have the 5th pick. RG3 would be their guy if Chud went there. I believe that RG3 is a smaller Cam Newton. (if they was looking for a new HC)
But how much money do the Rams have tied up in Bradford (who, with his contract & injuries, can’t have a great trade value)? Surely they aren’t in a position to go QB in the 1st round again so soon.

bradford was roty
They’re not gonna abandon that kind of investment after two years. If chud goes to st. Louis its with bradford as his guy.

If Miami doesnt land Fisher I could see them going after Chud
I wouldn’t worry about St Louis

if so
Expect miami to trade up to grab RG3, maybe even put the house into luck. That would be very interesting.

RG3
Fisher has history with mobile QB’s (McNair and Young) just my opinion
by rscott94 on Jan 11, 2012 2:01 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Well, it was clear that he did not want Young.
Pretty sure he loved McNair, so I think it was more about the men than their attributes.
I like to think of myself as a one-man wolfpack.
young's instabiliy was one of his attributes, albeit not a good one. therefor it may hae been that "attribute" he didnt like.

Chud in Oakland is scary
Imagine what impact he would have there not only on current personnel but free agents. Vincent Jackson may travel up the coast to be reunited with Chud. Plus, the Oakland front office will want to find a way to curtail rival Denver and SD. Chud brings experience and understanding not only to creative playcalling, but how to compete within the AFC West. We all need to weary of such a move.

Aside from it being a soft division, I don't know why Chud would want to go to St. Louis.
Not to mention the fact the team doesn’t have a GM yet either. If I were in line for the coaching position, I would want to know whom I was going to be working with. The relationship between head coach and GM is as important as the relationship between the QB and center. If they aren’t on the same page, it can turn in to a mess. On top of all of that, the team really doesn’t have a single reliable RB or WR. The only two they have (Jackson and Lloyd) are closer to the end than they are the beginning. I see this team as being last in their division for AT LEAST two more seasons.

I think part of it could be getting an interview for the sake of experience.
I wouldn’t want to jump into that mess in St. Louis, but I’d at least go to the interview for some experience.

lol yeah...
[Chud stumbles into the interview room, pukes in the garbage can, and slams down in the GM’s chair.]
Rams GM: Um, Mr. Chudzinski, that’s my seat.
Chud: My friends call me Chud, and I sit wherever the hell I want. I’m the genius here, not you.
Rams GM: Okay then. So “Chud”, what would you like to accomplish here in St. Louis?
Chud: I wanna meet Albert Pujols.
Rams GM: Umm…First, we’re an NFL team and Pujols plays baseball. Second, he left for Anaheim a few weeks ago.
Chud: I can’t blame him, this place is a shit hole.
Rams GM: Thank you, Rob. We’ll be in touch.
Chud: Can I get free sixer of Miller Lite before I go? I’m too ashamed to be seen buying girly beer.
Rams GM: Yeah…we’re gonna have to ask you to leave now.
[Chud picks up his chair and throws it across the room.]
Chud: Nobody asks me to leave. I leave when I wanna leave.
Rams GM: Security!
Chud: Yeah, ok. I gotta jet…k thx bai!
[Chud stands at the door and SuperCams before exiting.]
Rams GM: Yeah, I don’t think we’re gonna hire that guy.
Rams Exec: Well, it’s either him or Jon Gruden…those are the only two guys who want to work here.
Rams GM: Oh, alright…call Rob later and offer him 5 years for $15M, and tell him we’ll draft a real QB if he wants the job.
Rams Exec: I’ll draw up the papers.

The Gruden Interview...
[Gruden walks in and has a seat]
Rams GM: Hi Jon, how are you doing?
Gruden: I’m doing great man…just great. This guy right here, let me tell ya man…this guy right here feels great and thinks that he has a great shot at being the next head coach of the St. Louis Rams. I tell ya what man…the Ram is my all time favorite animal. I love how it has those big horns that it likes to run people over with…that’s what I like to do too, you know man…I love to just run people over. It’s a great feeling to know you just pummeled over another human being man. You ever feel that way?
Rams GM: Uhh…no. No I haven’t.
Gruden: Well, I tell you man…you don’t know what you’re missing.
Rams GM: Ok. Moving right along. What do you think you’ll bring to this organization?
Gruden: What I’ll bring is a winning attitude man. I’ll take that Sam Bradford guy…and I’ll turn him into a winner. I like that Sam Bradford guy…I tell you what man. This guy, this guy right here…now he’s what I call a true west coast offense gun-slinger spit in your face and take your lunch money away from you and buy a beer with it and smash the can on your forehead kinda quarterback. He’s a true champion of champions. Just look at the guy. He’s like a better looking Mark Sanchez with more talent and an American sounding last name. I love this guy, man.
Rams GM: Ok then. Are there any areas you’d like to rebuild?
Gruden: Nah man…there’s no need to rebuild. You’re in the NFC West. It’s the worst division in football man. I love the division as a whole man, but it’s pretty bad. Winning 8 games gets you in the playoffs most years…so there’s no need to change anything except we need to be winning instead of losing man. But, I love this team, and I love these players, so I think things will be just fine the way they are man.
Rams GM: So, is there anything about this team you don’t like?
Gruden: I like everything man…and everybody. The only thing I don’t like about this team is that I’m not the head coach yet. By the way, do you have a contract I can sign already? Where’s your assistant? Has he drawn up the paperwork yet? That guy…I’m telling you man…that guy draws up contracts better than any GM’s assistant in the league. I’ve interviewed with every team in the NFL, and I’m telling you man…this guy is the best.
Rams GM: I’ll have him get right on that Jon, we’ll be in touch.
Gruden: Great! Thanks for taking the time to talk to me man…you’re the best GM in the National Football League, I’m telling you right now man.
[Gruden exits the room. The Rams GM picks up the phone and calls security.]
Rams GM: Hi, security. Yes, please make sure that crazy lunatic never gets anywhere near this building again. Thank you.

Chud better not leave this year
I love how he used Deangelo and J Stew in the backfield at the same time this season. It was a true triple option with J Stew as the B back (for dives), Deangelo as the A back (pitches), and Supa Cam with the occasional QB keeper. I know you loved seeing that as well Jaxon since we get a lot of that in GT games.
I remember before the 2009 season, I was constantly dreaming that we’d pick up Michael Vick and run the triple option with him LOL. Now we have a VERY durable QB who actually can!
Just checked out Turf Show Times...
FWIW, the handful of Rams fans commenting so far really seem to like the idea of having Chud.
