But I think he took a huge lead in the ROTY race.
We have Houston, Atlanta, TB and NO left. We'll get at least one more of those. I'd like two.

We're gonna lose Chudz.
Mark it down.

I can see where you are coming from, but I wouldn't bank on that. Regardless of the offensive production, coordinators on (what figures to be) a 5-11 or 6-10 team aren't usually the "hot" names when it comes to hiring head coaches. IMO, he should stay with the Panthers for at least one more year and boost his resume'.

I disagree. Look at the new coaches for this year, alone. Most of them were assistants last year.
Rivera
Hue Jackson
Munchak
Pat Shurmur

Also, remember Chud's success as OC for Cleveland, when he had a terrible team to work with.

What I said was that usually coordinators from losing teams aren't the "hot" names. Of those you listed above, Rivera was established and the Chargers still went 9-7 last year, despite not making the playoffs (Thank you special teams!). Munchak and Jackson were basically internal promotions as each had been with their respective teams, Munchak for a long time as player and coach. Shurmur did come from a 7-9 Rams squad, so he would defy my criteria.

Long story short, maybe Chudzinski gets a shot back in San Diego once they give Norv the boot, but I don't know that he'll be in high demand. He'd probably be behind the usual suspects: Cowher, Gruden, Fisher, Billick, etc. Somewhere in the mix with the Del Rio, Capers, Ryan, Mularkey, Phillips, Mike Sherman crowd.

Plus, you gotta figure a few more coaches will get the axe over the next month or so. You may see Andy Reid, Tom Coughlin, Leslie Frazier, et al. all available.

NFL owners have proven time and time again that they like to recycle coaches, despite overwhelming evidence that these guys aren't suitable head coach material. Why else do Wade Phillips and Norv Turner consistently land head coach jobs?

A couple more IR moves to add to the pile. BOTH starting DTs, Fua and McClain placed on the IR today.

Neblett outplayed Fua as far as I'm concerned, but losing McClain hurts. However, after this year of injuries the Panthers are suffering, it isn't surprising in the least....

we just signed two big guys. Don't know anything about them, other than the fact that one is named Shirley, and he once played for the Bengals...he's a big dude. The other is another weird-named-guy from SD. Also big.
We should just run a 2-5 defense. Wait...we don't have that many healthy linebackers, either.

Cam came down to earth this week. Mare needs to be cut immediately. He's missed two field goals under 40 yds in crucial situations this year. Unacceptable for a NFL kicker...

Yeah. Mare has been choking big time. That field goal plus the 2nd half defense and an off game passing for Cam = disaster. With a decent defense this team could have three more wins. With a better kicker they would have at least one.

Is it too early to start looking at draft prospects that we could actually have a shot at getting?
Since Matt Kalil will be long gone by the time we pick (I plan on winning at least one more game), I put Morris Claiborn at the top of my list.
I'm not sure if I'm completely sold on Dre Kirkpatrick just yet, but he could be a decent pick if we do win as many as two more games.
The Iowa LT is getting a lot of attention, too. I like the videos I've watched on him...Riley Reiff.
Doesn't look like a single 1st round worth DT.

Right now I like Claiborn, Coples and Ingram.

Need to go corner in the first, maybe an OL in the second and try to find some DTs in the third round...
