Panthers Need A New Head Coach

[KatsAzz]

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.

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.
