The Pitt Panthers are looking for a new Offensive coordinator to replace former Bears OC Matt Cavanaugh, who will the new QB coach with the NY Jets. According to the Piitsburgh Post Gazette, 3/4 of a stache is looking at filling the vacany with another one of his former Bears offensive bosses, Ron Turner to replace him. I doubt this happens as no one would take a step down from an NFL OC job to a lateral move at a medicore college program. But if he did who would take over, here is the list of the likelyist candidates to replace him

Mike Martz: If this off-season has taught us anything so far it is that Lovie hates to his buddies collecting unemployment. Also with Lovie being the defacto Defensive cordinator next season, I am sure he would want someone who could run the offense by themselves which Martz would want anyway.  They got to a Super Bowl with this structure in St. Louis, why couldn't it work here? Getting Martz would give us the inside track in all likelyhood to getting Torry Holt to be our #1 WR which would be a good thing.  Would be the best option as along as Lovie stresses to him to use Forte and Olse more than he has previously used other RB and TE's.

Darryl Drake: If Lovie wants to stay in-house, Drake's work with Berrian and Hester makes him the only logical candidate for it as he is compentant as a postion coach, unlike his collegues on the offensive staff.

Chan Gailey: Other than his stint as Cowboys coach, he has always had good offenses where he has been. His recent stint as a college coach should help him with our young offense.

Dan Reeves: he has been looking for NFL work of late, including interviewing for the SF OC job.  If Angelo and Lovie's job are on the line this season they might want the most compentant person they can find to run the offense. Though they also might not want to put a logical successor on the staff either.

Who would you want running the Bears offense in 09?
