Two Weeks

There's one thing about this whole situation that really bugs me more than anything else.

Mike Trgovac has never been a good defensive coordinator. He's been here for years, and every year, our defense has underachieved more often than not. I've never talked to a single person that likes his schemes.

Trgovac has never done anything good for this team, aside from coaching the defensive line. I'm sure we can all think of many times where Trgovac deserved to be fired, but hardly any where we all kind of stepped back and realized he has his moments. He doesn't have moments. He's awful.

No, this defense isn't as talented as it was in 2002 or 2003. However, it's definitely not the kind of defense that allows a team like Arizona, who's down one of their top playmakers, to come in and shred us with one guy.

If you asked anyone, with any shred of intelligence what Carolina needed to do defensively, they would have told you that the Panthers needed to pressure Warner, and cover Fitzgerald. Trgovac made no attempt to do either of these until the 2nd half. By then the game was out of reach.

My point is, you don't wait a couple weeks to make this move. This is the kind of situation where you tell said coach to have his desk cleaned out by Monday morning.

I agree, but it isn't Fox's usual MO.

There's a bit of a timing issue here if you want to target a guy like McDermott. Other teams are going to be looking at him whenever he comes available (depending on the fate of the Eagles).

Trgovac may go, but Trgovac's defense will stay because Trg's defense is Fox's defense.

I don't know if I buy that.

It might be true that Fox has a hand in it right now, but it was different when Del Rio ran it. Ideally speaking, that's what you want, a guy who can run the defense without the head coach having to be 'hands on' because he's got enough to do on his own.

That's one of the reasons I think a guy like McGinnis, someone Fox would be familiar with and could have a certain level of trust in, would be ideal. McDermott would be great philosophy-wise, but he'd have to build trust with Fox. Hopefully he could do that in the interview/camp process.

you don't fire a guy Monday morning ... that would be an emotional decision when you may not be thinking rationally. Let them go on vacation, take a week to think about all of the ramifications (including who you are going to get if you fire someone, and be sure that person is going to accept the job) and be sure you are honest with yourself and everything else before you fire someone from their job.

Agreed.

Then you fire him.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
