Panthers Need A New Head Coach

All good bad things should come to an end,in this case it is John Fox and his tenture as the Panthers head coach.

Maybe firing Fox in mid season would be a good idea. This way, some coach sitting around looking for a job could come in and let the existing coaching staff take on more responsibility for game planning. This way, we find out which of the remaining coaches we keep next year based on their performance for the rest of this season.

I don't think that firing Fox now will make the difference in whether we make the playoffs or not this year, but if we are going to make the playoffs in the future, he has to go.

Dan Henning was one of brighter OC's in the NFL and a very creative play caller. Here in Carolina, we nearly ran him out of town covered in tar and feathers. He goes to Miami and all of a sudden he is a genius again. We nearly strung up Trgovac on the tallest yardarm available because of what he did with Del Rio's defense. Henning was replaced by Davidson, who really was underqualified to be an OC. Trgovac was replaced by Ron Meeks who was under constant attack by the Indy fans for his problems there. What does all of this mean? To me, it means that nothing will change until Fox is gone because he is the head man and the buck stops there.

Fox is a classic example of those who won't hire anybody smarter than himself because he sees it as a threat to his own way of doing things. Most good business leaders will make it a point of hiring top level subordinates as the best way to run a business.

History is always our best teacher and now that Trgovac, Del Rio, Scott O'Brien, and Henning are gone, I cannot help but wonder if the reason that some of these guys are gone is because they wanted to do things differently than Fox wanted them done. For Trgo to just up and leave pretty late in the summer to take a demotion was a big red flag to me that maybe it wasn't just Trgovac. Meeks was weak in Indy as many people have stated, but it is easy to look decent when you have Peyton Manning running the offense.

Nice write up, but seriously another thread about this? ;)

I feel sure this subject has been brought up numerous times,but some topics bear repeating. Will this change the situation,probably not,but it helps spread the word that fans are feed up with the present inept operations of the Panthers.

      HBM shortage due to AI craze

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      You know who else had a high completion %? Teddy 2 Gloves. He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
