Well I know a lot of people are on the Bill Cowher Love Train but I for one rather go for someone who hasn't been a head coach yet but poised to become one. For Example:

Mike Zimmer, DC, Bengals- Great defensive minded coach who has made the Bengals defense one of the best in team history. His motor and winning attitude would be a perfect fit for this struggling offense and he can bring Mike Zampese with him to coach up these QBs.

Leslie Frazier, DC, Vikings- Considering that the Vikings and Panthers run similiar defensive schemes, I would love to see Frazier come in and see what he could do with this defensive. He has turned a, once, stuggling defense into a top 10 pass rushing force to be reckon with.

Ron Meeks, DC, Panthers- I may get bashed on this choice but why not stay in house and promote Meeks? Believe it or not, he isn't John Fox so I don't think Meeks would be as traditional and conservative like Fox has been. I mean, after all, he probably has learned more from Dungy then he has from Fox and Dungy is a legend. On top of that, the players already know Meeks and already has trust in him and could turn into a Mike Singletary situation.

Sean McDermott, DC, Eagles- All you have to do is watch an Eagles game and realize just how good their defense is. Most of this is due because of the late, great Jim Johnson but coach McDermott has eased the transition by having a great motor and again, a winning philosphy.

Ron Rivera, DC, Chargers- This guy is long over due for a head coaching position. He made the Bears defense into a solid, full-throttle defense and when he came to the Chargers, made them into a hard nose defense in the Top 10 in the league. Plus, the Chargers has a Top 5 QB in Phillip Rivers and two great RBs which Carolina has as well (with the exception of a great QB.)

So these are the guys I like to possibly see if Fox is fired.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
