ALL NEED TO STAY!! The two players are a given to most Panther fans but I'm hearing a ton of "fire Fox" flying around here. Am I happy that we layed an egg last night?? No...but firing a coach that just led us to 12 wins, the #2 seed in the playoffs, and rebuilt our running game is not the answer. He needs to stop being so damn loyal to Trgocrap and get someone in here who is going to fully utilize all the damn 1st rounders on that side of the ball.

Change needs to happen and I guess if firing Fox is the only way to fire Trgocrap then so be it but if there is anyway to retain Fox and get rid of Delhomme and Turdovac then that is the way it needs to be done.

As long as Fox stays, Trgo willl stay unless someone above him in the organization demands otherwise. This may give Peppers reason to consider other options in FA; he and the other defensive players can't be happy with the defensive schemes and playcalling. We may not have much choice but to resign Gross just to keep continuity on the OL.

I agree with the Fox needs to go talk. He is the ring leader of the stupid assistant coaches club. He is and always will be loyal to Turdo and company. The root of the problem is Fox, not Turdo, not Davidson, and not Jake. Fox only sells Vanilla and if vanilla doesnt work then your SOL.

I'm new here but I'm a Carolina Panther's fan. I was mad at Fox last night because any quarterback can have a bad game. I was mad that we continued to reinforce failure by allowing Jake to throw the ball. IMO, we should have forced the Cards to stop our run game with Williams, Stewart, and Hoover pounding the ball then switch to hitting quick outs to keep them honest. I think Jake, having played second fiddle to Warner in the past, tried to "keep up" with Kurt when he was stripped on the ball (btw, that was a honest good defensive play for the cards) and we all know that Jake is not Kurt Warner. Jake then forced too many throws and it cost us the game. Our defense was placed in horrible field positions due to the turnovers on Jake behalf and I can't rightly blame them when the Cards have a good offense. By halftime our defense had played 2/3s of the time. I saw these when we played New York and we put 6 dbs on the field in OT (Ward ran down to the ten or seven yardline) when Jacobs and Ward were bleeding us out with their running. Jake got us this far and I for one was content to not bitch about him then. I think some new assistants should be brought in but Fox is a good coach. He needs to learn from this.

I agree with keeping Fox too, but the rest of the coaching staff definitely needs to be re-evaluated and shaken up. Special teams was great this year, but the defense needs some serious work.

Agree.

BUT

The question is.. Will anything change if Fox is staying.

We let go an Offensive Coordinator, who by the way, turned around and did pretty good for a Miami team that was horrid last year.

We are know talking about letting go of a D-Coordinator, who probably never should have been D-Coordinator to begin with when there were certainly other, better candidates.

At what point, in replacing a coaching staff, or having that discussion, does the finger not turn to the headcoach?

It is a non-sequitor to me. The buck stops with the head coach.

If Fox changes his cronies out and gets a decent D-coordinator, my opinion changes; but, mark my words, there will be no changes by Fox unless he is 'forced' to do it.

..and this coming season, the schedule is much harder, 8-8 or worse, coming up as we do not have the draft choices for any impact players or salary cap room for free agents.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
