Have heard from many people about an article on yahoo sports that said that Ron Meeks is the lead choice to be the Panthers head coach next year. unfortunately i can't find the article has anyone seen or heard anything else about this? A link would be awesome! I just hope the story is false, I really like meeks as a DC but not as a head coach unless it would be on a interim basis!

Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ron Meeks is more than qualified to coach the Dallas Cowboys. His resume speaks for itself. His defensive units helped one team win a Super Bowl and another make its first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.

What may prevent Meeks from coming to Dallas

Meeks runs a 4-3 defense and would probably want to bring his system to Dallas. The Cowboys have spent tons of money implementing the 3-4 over the last few years and may not want to gut the progress. Jerry Jones has not commented on the possibility of personnel turnover with the hiring of a new coach. Another problem may be the potential lock-out in 2011. It wouldn’t make much sense for Jerry to hire a new head coach to sit around for an entire year. If the Cowboys or Meeks decide to make it work, we could see the next Sean Payton here in Dallas. If that is the case, then this relationship could be a match made in heaven.

Word is that Meeks is a poor communicator... if that's true, then he would not be a very good HC.

1.Sportswriter sees the panthers sucking yet the defense remains quality.

2.Sportswriter makes assumption.

3. Sportrswriter publishes rumor.

The system works.

For real??? Yahoo sports also reported Elton John may return kicks for the Falcons simply for the fact he loves dirty birds. It's f@cking yahoo sports!! That's worse than PFT.

Dont buy it at all.... if this were true then you fire Fox after last weeks game and let Meeks work with this team the rest of the season.

Good point! You go ahead and make the change now, since you are already paying Meeks, at least then you can see if he is your guy.

I like Meeks but I'd rather have a guy like Frazier with more buzz. Meeks seems more like a DC only. I'm not sure he even wants to be a HC.

He's done nothing but succeed for the most part with his defenses so I'd be supportive but nervous.

Our defense is LEGIT. I'd take him.

Agreed! That is a good point!
