You are Jerry Richardson!!

[carolinanimal]

Ok folks! You are jerry richardson. The panthers just finished a losing season and missed the playoffs. You have a disgruntled fan base.

What do you do? Give me realistic options for what you would do. If you change head coach and gm tell me who they are and also what changes they would make personnel and strategy wise or if you keep the head coach and gm combo what changes you make to get better next year.

Shhh.... it's supposed to be a secret.

I don't know how stable Richardson is, I mean he just fired both his kids from organization, he might be lost it upstairs!

[Bruce]

Probably nothing, it's like a bad rollercoaster ride. We never can put two good seasons together. Hit or miss tear in and year out.

[Mother Grabber]

I retire and let someone take over who knows how to run a successful football franchise.

[Zaximus]

I take another sip of wine and roll in the cash. I don't really care what the fans thing. Half the stadium is usually full of the OTHER teams fans.

Life is good.

[JJT]

I mean he just fired both his kids from organization

This is a good thing.

[hepcat]

I'd just make sure my heart was still beating if I was Jerry Richardson.

[Mother Grabber]

I changed my mind. I'd take a few little blue pills, import a half dozen Brazillian hookers and go out in style...making sure I was still saluting myself at my funeral.

JR fired his sons b/c they approved a 20 million dollar bonus to Jake Delhomme without his consent. He is a man who is frustrated to the max so barring a miracle run by Foxy and his team there will be some major changes next season.

[Mesmer]

Jerry Richardson is a good owner, despite what some may believe. I don't agree with the extremes the team goes to so that a "family" atmosphere is ensured in the stadium. However, he hires a coach and GM to do their thing, and if they don't work out, he'll get rid of them.

But he's not going to tell Fox how to do his job, and I really like that. He's also not going to fire a coach too early, or wait too long.

So far he's done a really good job with giving coaches the right amount of time, and really it's just a matter of striking gold with the next candidate.

i have to do some research on the coaches available for next year, but i would definitely change head coaches. maybe not the gm, because personally i dont think that hurney has been that bad. we have a very talented team and we arent in rebuilding mode.

The reason i would get a new head coach and coaching staff is that fox philosopy of run the ball and defense needs updating and fox is to stubborn to change at this point. it make take him being fired to learn to adapt. his strategy works with teams who are really bad and need a strong foundation to start with. But as you continue you need to further evolve. We havent. that is my biggest problem with fox. his way of building and maintaining a team are too simplistic. it requires almost perfect situations for it to work or complete dominance on one side of the ball. todays nfl has turned into a passing league. look at the steelers. they didnt win the superbowl by running the ball. not saying the running the ball is bad, but you have to have a balanced offense.

I love what Josh McDaniels said after a win. He said that the one thing he learned from Belicheat is that there is always a way to beat a team. You do that by adapting to that team. i like dominating another team in one aspect as well as another but some times our strength is going to be that teams strength also. you have to adapt in the nfl or you fall behind. that is what i think has happened to john fox.

Simple fix fire fox. Keep Hurney and bring in Gruden. Bring in another QB hopefully Orten and the team is fixed.

[Blitz]

Hands down Hurney is offered re-positioning. Bring in a cap manager with a nack for eval talent. This is the biggest and most needed change period. Blame fox all want fact is franchise is in this position due to hurney. Team is allways max out at the cap (with camp fodder), constantly make poor late draft pick decisions (2nd and on) blah blah blah.

Im availible to GM for you.

Next. because this season is going to get much worse, fox will need to go as well. Im jumping on a Talent Gm first who can eval what is on the team and what kind of team he wants. Then togather we are finding the coach to run what we are best suited for.

If I had my pick it would be Ozzie Newsome for GM. Ravens scouting department. Best interview between Gruden, Riveria, Shannahan, rob ryan, clancy pendergras, Pefwell ( I think, hes minny;s d cord). Large leans to Gruden has an ability to find qbs.......to a degee. Big lean to Shannahan his running games and offenses are nasty and he smart enough to surroud himself with the right folks.
