Was Frank our worst head coach?

You might be able to say that Frank checked out at some point during the season, but it was way more obvious that Seifert didn’t care at all during his last season.

The 1999 season alone is enough to put him ahead of Rhule & Frank though, easily the most fun non-playoff team the Panthers have ever fielded.

Cam is this weird double edged sword IMO when it comes to Ron.  Ron allowed for Cam to be special.  Cam wasn’t going to pair well with tons of coaches.  It would have been a Frank/Bryce scenario.

People claim Ron ran him into the ground.  None of his injuries that killed his career were tied to that though.  Cam went to NE and was basically a dominant running back after his time here.  Cam could still run on the league today.  Cam was made to be a bruiser and wanted to be.  His arm isn’t shot because of that. 

I agree with the second part. Cam was best when he wasn't hesitating to run. That's what made him special and a nightmare to defend. Surprisingly elusive for a big bruising runner. 

Ron should have focussed on securing a quality offensive line in the 5 or 6 good years he had Cam - especially since he inherited an all pro Center that stayed around the entire time. I used to blame Hurney and Gettleman, but he did the same thing in WAS. Started with a great oline, and invested all his resources into the defense - and again he can't keep a QB upright because they're getting murdered on the field. Ron also wouldn't sit Cam whe he was obviously injured. Marched him out there hurt with JAG receivers and a make shift oline. That took years off his career, and is almost unforgivable.

Under Rhule I could see what we were trying to do but some of it wasn't working. Like Teddy was great outside of the red zone. Under Frank and Beans I could see what we were trying to do, and none of it was working, and there was no reason to think any of it would work. Just awful.

Rank them. 
Fox > Ron > Capors > Wilks > Rhule > Seifort > Frank 

 

never thought it’s would be this bad. I think it’s gonna get worse. 

We have really only had SEVEN head coaches in the history of this franchise?? One of them being an interim?

Think about it - we were on our 4th in the 24 years prior to Dipper, including interims.

We've churned through 3 since then.
