Khyber53

Sheeesh. We don't just need a house cleaning after this season, we need a fumigation. Why keep anyone from a season that has been an epic, historic trainwreck?

The saddest part of this game is that I've gotten to the "who really cares?" stage.

There was a reason Seattle didn't mind seeing Fitterer go.

Our defense quit working like a unit when we lost Shaq for the year. The heart of any defense is the MLB. Luvu is great, but he's the Thomas Davis in this defense.

Soaked us for paychecks. Seeya bench warmer.

Third fewest yards allowed in the NFL, but 4th most points... that's more about the field position of our opponents than anything else. It's not about good coaching. At all.

We have been unsuccessfully transferring to an odd front since the last year of Rivera here. It's just a bad idea to keep trying.

Like I said, least stinky turd in the pile. That's not a real Carolina defense. Haven't seen one of those since Luke retired. It used to be our hallmark and should be our standard. But we may have packed that away with Keep Pounding. Sad how far we've fallen so quickly. This is a good defense only in comparison to our offense. That's not a high mark on the wall to clear, yanno? Time to restart, yet again, and hope we can get back to our roots.

We've produced 20 sacks, 8 INTs, we have an epically bad run defense that skews the games so badly that our pass defense ranks wildly high. There are tons more reasons but just go watch the games so more. I can't. It's just not worth arguing over. If you're amazed by their wonderful performance, I'm glad you can find some happiness in that. Best of luck to you.

I hinted that this could be a possibility because the vibes coming out of Pittsburgh are so similar to Cowher being allowed to resign. I'd really be behind taking him as our head coach. No problem at all.

If that stat only told the whole story, we'd be freaking amazing! You've seen the games, man. Right? It's terrible. It's just that our offense sucks so badly in comparison.

Considering the injuries and defensive issues we've had I think the offense has been outstanding. I mean, that turd can be polished both ways I guess. This has been a terrible season with terrible play and a team that doesn't feel like much of a team at all. Bad leadership, badly built, bad luck and bad effort. We're just left hoping for better next season. Again.

It's just not worth discussing anymore.

Must be all that great run defense we've been showing huh? There's about four guys on defense trying and the rest are just cashing checks and making plans for January in Orlando.

Y'all realize that our defense isn't very good either, right? It has been the least stinky turd in the pile, but that doesn't make great. Let's just move on from everything associated with this season.

Maybe, we'll see. I think there's a job there if Ron wants it again, at least as a DC if not as a HC. Something tells me we are in for a large number of open positions this season. And I have my wonderings if the HC position in Pittsburgh may come open. I think Tomlin is one of the best coaches of this generation, but there's something about the vibe up there right now that feels a lot like when Cowher resigned. Might be nothing, but it's just got that vibe.

Maybe, we'll see. The biggest thing against Harbaugh is the level of autonomy he will demand in the operation. It could be a Rhule situation, just with a much better resume and pro experience. It's a lot of control to give up, though, in the halls that Halas built.

Hate to hear it for him but he inherited a bad team with a bad owner. Just did the best he could with it. Maybe the next coach can make something of it, maybe not... there's a lot of bad karma in that franchise that is still yet to be paid. I'm betting Rivera will take a year off and then be back with the HC job in Chicago.

There are more attractive places for him to go than here, so I'm not too worried about that. And it's way too early to jump into who is the best coaching candidate out there that will be available. There's this one coach who seems to be losing his fanbase that has a small chance of being let go that would be a major get for us. Let's see what shakes loose out there first. I do know, however, that the Belichick coaching tree has been pretty much picked of all its fruit and short of Vrabel doesn't have much marketplace strength right now. I don't think Bill will be as coveted as many think.

There's a minimum number of posts you have to make before you can start a thread in the Panthers section. It's either 50 or 100, but it's there to make sure you are a participating member rather than just another spambot. There were issues in the past. So, become more active. We're looking forward to what you've got to offer.

Without a doubt. Honestly, he may have not been a very good head coach in general, too. The Colts years weren't much to remark on. But most folks who get that NFL HC job flame out, too. He outlasted many.

A few million bucks at retirement age will probably wipe away a fair number of tears. Not all of them, but many just the same.

And the next one. Back to Florida, this time for the case of an ice cream man turned vigilante. Hope you enjoy it!

Tepper just actually chose even more poorly. Even more poorly than Gettleman. Whew, we've had some bad GMs.

While Hurney was no savant, he was a better GM and built better teams than Fit has. And Hurney could make trades that benefited us. Fitterer is the kind of guy that has salesmen falling all over themselves to get to him first at the car lot. He's a total rube, a mark, a sucker. And believe me, there are soooo many better options out there than either of those guys. How could we not have stumbled across one by accident even???
