Bruce Arians, Pittsburgh Steelers Offensive Coordinator
My third—and actually first-ranked—candidate is this man from Pittsburgh. Ironically, he's from the same team Jerry Richardson has desired modeling his team after since its inception.
Bruce Arians has been the offensive coordinator for the Steelers since he was named to the position in 2007 by head coach Mike Tomlin. Prior to that, Arians was the wide receivers coach, a position he held since the 2004 season.
Arians, as head coach for the Panthers, could implement some of his play designs from the Steelers into the Panthers playbook. He would not only be beneficial to a young offense, but especially to the youngsters at the receiver position. Arians was also the first quarterback coach of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.
Arians would bring a wealth of offensive knowledge and background to the table in Carolina. Consider this: From 1981 to 1982, he coached the running backs at the University of Alabama under head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
There's no doubt in my mind that Arians makes the greatest argument to become the next head coach for Carolina. I am also confident he will hire the right staff for the job at hand. A former offensive coordinator-turned-head coach will also bring a new buzz about the locker room and media. There's something about former defensive coordinators that brings about a certain bore and predictability to the offensive side of a team.
Other candidates potentially in the mix: Arizona Cardinals offensive line/assistant head coach Russ Grimm, Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Greg Manusky.

Not that I want Arians but I do think we need to find a good offensive mind. Maybe he would be the OC rather than the HC but we need someone who can develop a young QB. Whether we get Luck or not, we need to get a lot better in that area.

no.
He did get mentioned as someone that JR asked Rooney about, in the same article where Gantt stated we'd talked with Harbaugh for weeks.
