Rob Chudzinski favorite to run Panthers O

Chargers assistant head coach/TEs Rob Chudzinski is reportedly the leading candidate to take over as Panthers' offensive coordinator under new coach Ron Rivera.

Chud is also scheduled to interview for the same position with the Dolphins, though his friendship with Rivera may give the Panthers the edge. Chudzinki appeared to be a rising head-coaching candidate when he coordinated the Browns offense back in 2007, but the bloom came off the rose when Derek Anderson came back down to earth in 2008. Chudzinski has had two stints with the Browns, one as tight ends coach and one as offensive coordinator.

Chudzinski’s contract as the Chargers’ tight ends coach is expiring, and the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Chudzinski could follow Ron Rivera and become the new offensive coordinator in Carolina.

Going to Miami would be a homecoming for Chudzinski, as he spent four years as a player at the University of Miami and eight years as an assistant coach there.
