#panthers Report: 'Chud' called back by Jaguars for second interview bit.ly/wF0VEb
— Panthers RReports (@CBSSportsNFLCAR) January 9, 2012
Chudzinski is a favorite among Jaguars fans given the fact that he's had success and nearly every stop in his career.
A Jaguars official on Monday would not comment via e-mail on the possibility of OC Rob Chudzkinski receiving a second interview for the head coaching vacancy. Initially interviewed last Thursday, "Chud" is one of at least six reported candidates, including Bengals OC Jay Gruden, Broncos OC Mike McCoy and Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer.
Jaguars owner Shahid Khan was not present at the initial interview with Chudzinski, which was conducted by Jaguars general manager Gene Smith in Charlotte. Khan has made it clear he would like to "sit in" in the interview process.

He happens to be a very interesting candidate to fill the job
While I obviously am not in on the interview process, and so I do not know specific ideas he has about certain key aspects of running a team as the HC, I am a fan of his for this position.

Sounds like Khan wants his own interview
Probably got a good review from Smith and Khan wants to talk to him as well.
"I love lamp"
I thought the same thing
Why would Kahn waste his time if the first interview went poorly? He does have another business to run.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

So you're suggesting Gene just forgot to ask a few questions?

Great News
Been calling this since September, and love me some Chud.
Follow me on twitter: @Kevin_Hine
I like him because:
- He has a great track record with TEs (turned Gates into a Pro Bowler and coached Franks, Shockey, and Winslow into All Americans) and should be able to make Marcedes a valuable weapon for Blaine.
- He did a great job with Newton, and as the team with the first pick, I’m sure has done all the research on Gabbert. That will mean he’s ready to work with him and knows his strengths and weaknesses.

And may be able to transfomr Zach Miller
into what he was expected to be.
Anyone interested in making money easy and quick on the interne, let me know through twitter or facebook(preferably facebook).

what was he expected to be
he certainly was not expected to be anything great. It was optimistic dreaming that he would be the next dallas clark. it is also to coach a guy who cannot stay healthy.
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
I say he...
should be given one more chance. Mincey was injured during Gene’s first two seasons as GM and that turned out to be a great decision. Dillard is in the same boat and now that he’s health, it appears like he’ll be able to provide some production. With that being said, if Miller can’t get over his injuries issues this season, I’d be all for letting him go.
"turned out to be a great decision
to keep him around." Is what it should’ve said.
For sure.
It surely would’ve made it that much easier to have a better assessment of Blaine since he would’ve had a playmaker in the pass game to work with.
In a sense...
it is, but at the same time, everytime he’s been on the field and had the ball in his hands, he almost always made a play. So in my mind, if he’s available next season, there’s nothing for me to think he won’t continue to do so. So I guess the better way to put it would be to say he’s a player with playmaking ability.
no
people hope he can be a good player. The guy is a 6th round pick who played QB in college. You do not expect him to be a very good TE in the NFL. You hope he is a good player at the NFL level.
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
That comparison..
of Miller and Clark was unfair to Zach from the beginning. The only thing that should’ve mattered is if he could come and do what he was drafted to do. That was to be a pass catching tight end that would create mismatch nightmares for a defense and work on his blocking since it wasn’t strength of his. When healthy and given the chance, he did those things. Since he hasn’t been able to stay healthy, this becomes a moot conversation.
Good
`Im glad their not talking to Jay Gruden. Either Chud or Mike Mccoy are the candidates for me. Mularkey is off my list.
after Sundays game Mularkey is no longer on my list either.
Take stock in your lives, but leave your livestock alone
Did you see that offense? Worst called game I have seen in a while.

Whata bunch Mularkey!
lol couldn’t resist
by Jags85 on Jan 9, 2012 3:28 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Still not a fan
With players in place, he looks good. His OC stint in Cleveland scares me, also he hasn’t stuck around anywhere to build a program. It helps as a TE coach to have an Antonio Gates.
At least with Brian Schottenheimer, he handled the Santonio Holmes issue, we haven’t seen that type of leadership from Chud
OC in Cleveland?
He got Derek Anderson his best career numbers (29 TDs) and a huge contract after that. Anyone who can do that should be high on our list.
Derek Anderson people!

My concern was his 2008 season
Cleveland’s offensive dropped off considerably (though there were injuries to Winslow and Anderson). My guess is that he built an impressive scheme in 2007 but then an off-season of film study enabled teams to pick the scheme apart in 2008, exposing the actual lack of talent.
Braylon Edwards
Hurt that team. His attitude and inconsistencies hurt the browns a lot that year.
I need my meds.
Having Gates was easy?
Gates went to 3 colleges and played basketball. He was an UDFA who came in with no football experience outside of high school. Chudzinski helped shape him into a ProBowler.
Also, Chudzinski coached Bubba Franks, Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow into All Americans at TE. With that track record, he should be able to work with Marcedes.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
If it was all Chud
Why hasn’t Gates productivity dropped on the years he left for Cleveland and Carolina?
Also his coaching at Miami shows he can coach TEs who have a talent level above other teams defensive talent.
Also head coaches Chud has served under in the NFL:
Butch Davis, Marty Schottenheimer, Romeo Crennel, Norv Turner, Ron Rivera
How much of Cam Newton’s development was Chud and how much was Shula? How much of Antonio Gates development was Chud and how much was Cam Cameron and Turner?
His biggest accomplishment that is his own is getting a QB to play very well in a contract year that doesn’t fill me with warm and fuzzies.
If I have a great teacher who teaches me something
I don’t automatically forget it as soon as I’m done with the class. Gates playing at a high level after Chudzinski leaves isn’t a negative in my eyes at all.
Follow me on Twitter
With Gates and the TEs at Mami...
of course they had the raw athleticism, but Chud was the coach who put them into the position where they could succeed.
I’m not saying Chud is a lock to be a great HC. He just appears to be good at what he does – whether it’s TE or OC. I also read on Pro Football Talk that Chud is highly regarded around the league as one of the better minds in the game. Again, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s gonna be a great HC, but it certainly bodes well.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
Maybe he helped a little bit,
but Gates actually had his breakout season in 2004 under Tim Brewster before Chudzinski got to San Diego. 81 catches, 964 yards, and 13 TD in his second year as an NFL player. Chudzinski took over as TE coach in 2005.

At least with Brian Schottenheimer, he handled the Santonio Holmes issue
He handled nothing. Santonia Holmes is a cancer in that lockerroom and nothing schott has done has improved that situation.
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
Schottenheimer pulled him
Yes it wouldn’t have been smart to keep him in there but the final decision to shut him down was his.
Big deal...
That problem shouldn’t have been allowed to fester to the point where an OL had to yell at him in a huddle, and even Ladanian Tomlinson was calling him out after the game. Schott let Holmes pull his BS for several weeks before finally having his hand forced in the final quarter of the final game. Schott may eventually be a good HC, but he sure didn’t seem like he knows how to handle problems with that situation.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
Here come the Chud. Here come the Chud.
I think he is the guy. I would like to see him get the HQ. I think he has the best chance of keeping Mel Tucker as DC as they have a previous relationship. Likely Mel would keep the heart of the defensive staff. Thats a good thing. I think its also likely he brings Mike Shula back with him, maybe as OC, but at least as QBC. I love what he did against us with Cam when we played. His offense is miles ahead of anything we have had here. I also think he is most attractive to all the possible FA WR’s looking for big money and lots of touches.
Wasn't Mike Shula...
an OC for Tampa in the past? Think they weren’t impressed with him and booted him.
He was OC for Tony Dungy from 96-99
When he rebuilt the Bucs, posting the first winning season in over 15 years, then won the division for the first time in 20, then went on to the NFC championship game that they lost to the SB Champion Rams. Shula was 30 when hired and the youngest OC in history. All this with the QB magic that was the legendary Shaun King. The Bucs went through 3 OC’s in three years before the realized the problem was “The King” or “Mike Vic ultra-light”. They had such high quality receivers as Yo Murphy and Reidel Anthony and Burt Emanuel. Those Bucs teams May have had the only less talented passing roster that the 2011 Jags!
I think Don’s kid is qualified.

Yes!
I’m assuming Gene liked what he saw in Chudzinski, and passed his review on to Khan. Khan likes what he heard, and wants to meet with him personally.

The more i read about him
the more i like what this guy has accomplished over his coaching career. After 15 years of coaching successfully, you cant make the argument that it was just his players. The guy is doing something right, and i hope he’s here next season.
Keep in mind
McCoy (Denver OC) is eligible for interviews this week, too.

Ive been screaming for this guy since del rio left.
And if he comes that makes Vincent Jackson a real target in fa, even.Greg Olsen in 2 te sets. Passing game drastically better.

So
Schefter just reported Mularkey is coming in tomorrow for an interview. after scoring 2 points against the ginats d with that offense, his ability in general has been question.

I don't want Mularkey either
if for no other reason than I won’t have to here any more “that’s a bunch of murlakey har…har…har” jokes anymore
His offence didnt score
The Falcons Defense Scored those lonely 2 points! lol His Offence got shut out…nd i want Chud more than Murlarky or McCoy…

very true
i rushed the comment so i did not fully think through exactly what i wrote. But the truth is that a lot of poepl are going to throw questions around regarding just how good of an offensive mind Mularkey is. It is wrong to do, but nonetheless it is happening
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
I will be happy if we hire him as our HC
But to me, as crazier as it sounds, am waiting more to hear about a new OC and a new QB Coach. Teams that are succeeding in this league are showing everybody where you need to concentrate most of your job. With all these rules, if you have an elite QB you are a playoff team.
I say nothing that we do in this offseason will be really valid if Gabbert doesn’t improve, that and also get him some targets that can get open and catch the freaking football for a change.

AS A PANTHER FAN
Chud is awful. Worst OC of all time. Sucks a lot. You guys dont want him………………………………………………….please don’t take him from us…..

SO CONFUSING AND SURPRISING BASED ON WHAT MY EYES SEE
Panther fans saying Chud is awful and Jet fans saying Schottenheimer is great.
lol

I was being sarcastic
Chud is IMO the best OC in the league.
This is pretty funny
Does everyone realize that nowhere does it say that Chud DID have a second interview?
A Jaguars official on Monday would not comment via e-mail on the possibility of OC Rob Chudzkinski receiving a second interview
Remember, this wouldn’t be the first time in this coaching search that we’ve been told something in a report and found out it wasn’t true aka Gruden being contacted….
