Wow did we all watch the same game? They did not abandon the run people!!! Jake had a fumble 5 INT's he did not manage the offense, which lead to punts and giving the Card's on average starting point some where around the 40-45 yard-line constantly!! The commentators said it over and over the Turnovers and jake's in ability to move the ball when he need to not only stall's the offense but gives the opposing team great field postion...... We only ran 16 plays i believe at half time, because he was a wreak...

God hell you could even watch the replays on NFL.com and look at the time and quarters to look at why the team fell apart... It was Jake

Even after the half when i believe Fox started calling plays because we went man to man and didnt do the 5-7 yard cushions and we did some blitz that i have never seen from the panthers before, any way we stopped them and guest what Jake still messed up

F Davidson... He's done some good things but he provides no ebb and flow to our offense unless the run is working by forcing it down our opponents throat.

I say hire one of the Ryan brothers for defensive coordinator and give them a huge raise from their current position.

I guy I would like to see is Shuey from the eagles, he's a preperation guy and always has his guys ready to go, and for a couple of seasons was a direct assistant to Reid and his gameplanning.

Sounds good, I wasn't really familiar with him. And I'm not sure if my scenario is possible anyway because I don't think coaches/coordinators are allowed to interview for the same job position with another team while under contract. I think they have to move to a higher position... So yours makes sense.

And regardless, I'd take Rod Marinelli for D Coordinator at this point... I just want Turdo gone.

My two cents.

1) I am not going to abandon Jake simply because he had a dreadful game. And yes...it was dreadful. Disaster does not sum up his performance. Nonetheless, I still have confidence in him as a leader and a player. The comparisons between '07 and '08 are striking, and much of that has to do with who was rubbing Kalil's behind. Having said that, I believe we need to draft a quarterback EARLY either this year or next. The wave of QBs coming out in the near term is much like the talent at the running back position this past year. Its enormous. Lets take advantage of it, while we still have a veteran QB, who wins, and can get us back to the playoffs. Never forget that many teams do not have that luxury, and they are STILL trying to find that ever elusive replacement. I would prefer a Favre/Rogers esque handoff vs. the alternative.

2) I continue to curse at the television every time we sit back in a soft zone and get picked apart by quarterbacks who will...well, pick you apart! Our defensive scheme is HORSESH*T. For the 'n'th year in a row, I continue to believe that our defense performs in spite of our coaching, rather than because of it. In essense, they perform wonderfully on occassion due to their talent, and terribly, on occassion, due to the game plan. That falls squarely on the coaching staff. Beason covering Fitzgerald, our corners 10 yards off the line (AGAIN)...I'm truly speechless. Something must be done on defense, and that something has to be a change at the top. (Trgo, not Fox)

he's gone from a coach's assistant to a lb coach in 6 years on reid's staff. only two years on the d side of the ball and has already been promoted to lb coach from quality control/assistant

Quality coach who is going to be one heck of a d coordinator one day. bio link

Thats right, I said it.

He has put together the best offense the Panthers have seen. The Panthers would keep that side of the ball, and Davidson could find a young aggressive defensive play caller who will have the boys swarming to the ball with a chip on their shoulder.

How I long to see a mean Panthers defense who feel insulted when even 5 yards is given up on a play.

I can't get behind that.

I'd be happy if we just got a different defensive coordinator.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
