If Fox is Gone Next Year, How Would You Feel about an In-House Hire?

All of that being said, I've been thinking lately... With all the supposed rave reviews that Meeks has been getting for our defense's progress and performance since he's been here, would you be in favor of him being Fox's successor? He wasn't nearly as acclaimed in his coaching gigs prior to coming here... In fact, the Colts were known for their soft defense and being poor annually. I made this thread with mainly Meeks in mind with all the attention and love he's been getting recently, and it just seems like people have forgotten that he was supposedly not even our 1st choice for DC, and how much of a joke most of this board felt the hire was b/c of his Colts' defenses.

the colts fielded soft/weak defenses long before meeks got there.

look it up.

i'm all for meeks being hc based on what he's been able to do with what he has in carolina, which is far more talented than in indy.

Meeks is now working for a team that puts more emphasis on defense. If you look at our top draft picks under Fox, a higher percentage of them have been on the defensive side of the ball, whie Indy's picks have been more balanced or slightly favoring the offense. So he probably is working with more defensive talent in Carolina than he was at Indy.

Please god no retreads. I'd prefer Meeks for an in house hire at this point, but I don't think that Davidson is as bad as some people make him out to be. I think when you watch the offense as a whole, it's not that stale. What gives that impression is the certain situational play calling (3rd and long draws and whatnot) that give people that impression, but I personally believe that is the "Fox" effect more than anything else.

Fox was basically a unknown when we hired him.

nah he wasn't.

he was on track to be a headcoach when he was defensive coordinator for the raiders before he melted down and left the team in the preseason.

the casual fan (in deference to you) might not have known him, but he was a known commodity in league circles.

also if you hire meeks, davidson won't hang around. He's got a job next year if he wants it.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
