On Tuesday, the California Golden Bears fired head coach Jeff Tedford after 11 years as the top man for the football program. According to many sources, Bengals coach Hue Jackson is one of the top candidates on a short list of replacements, which includes Boise State head coach Chris Petersen and Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera. Jackson was a former offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Cal in 1996 during the Steve Mariucci era, before embarking to USC and the NFL after that. Source: SBNation.com
I'd really like Hue to be David Shaw's OC next season. Too bad neither of those things will happen. *sigh*
My guess is that Ron Rivera will look hard at this job. If he decides to take it, I hope he will wait until the end of the season to leave the Panthers. We don't want another Bobby Petrino.
rivera has a very slim possibility of keeping his job in carolina ........... there will be a new g.m. coming in, and he will most likely want his own guy.
