Can one New York failure save one other? The Panthers need to know the reply.
Carolina will interview Ben McAdoo for its offensive coordinator place on Tuesday, The Athletic reported, making it potential the previous Giants head coach can be tabbed to repair former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold.
McAdoo, who was fired in late 2017 following a 2-10 begin and much-loathed benching of Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith, labored as a advisor for the Cowboys this season after spending a yr as Jacksonville’s quarterbacks coach.
The Panthers are looking for an offensive thoughts who will show higher than Joe Brady, whom Matt Rhule had employed after which fired in early December whereas Darnold and the offense flatlined.
Darnold simply accomplished his fourth season and first away from the Jets. He confirmed loads of promise as a succesful sport supervisor throughout the Panthers’ 3-0 begin to the season, however his play declined earlier than a fractured scapula pressured him out for six weeks. Carolina couldn’t rating with Darnold then couldn’t rating with out him, as Cam Newton contributed to a disappointing, 5-12 end.
The Panthers are on the hook for Darnold’s $18.9 million 2022 wage, which makes it tough for the crew to surrender on the previous third-overall decide. Normal supervisor Scott Fitterer acknowledged final week that the 24-year-old “can be again” in Carolina, and so it’s as much as the Panthers to encompass him with expertise and an offensive coordinator who can maximize Darnold.
“After we defend him and he will get the ball out fast,” Fitterer informed reporters, “he appears like a superb NFL quarterback.”
McAdoo was well-regarded as Aaron Rodgers’ quarterbacks coach in 2012-13, which led to an offensive coordinator place with Tom Coughlin’s Giants. McAdoo is credited for respiratory life into Eli Manning, who threw for probably the most yards in a season in his profession throughout the two campaigns McAdoo served as his coordinator.
He graduated into the Giants’ head coach for the 2016 season and watched an 11-5 crew fall to the Packers within the playoffs. The Giants got here aside the next season, and McAdoo benching Manning and halted his streak of 210 consecutive regular-season video games began for Smith, which proved to be a success he couldn't return from.
Now it’s potential the Panthers give him the most recent probability to resolve a quarterback the Jets couldn’t.
