The only reason it's logical to promote an assistant or coordinator to HC is if the system in place already works great (See: Colts, Jim Caldwell), otherwise, for the most part it's like replacing a system that doesn't work with its slightly different and potentially uglier bastard child.

Recent examples? Oakland's trying it with Tom Cable, and they aren't getting anywhere. Seattle tried it with Mora Jr, failed miserably, took them only a year to figure out he wasn't the guy. San Fran is a 3 ring circus and Mike Singletary is a ringmaster on mescaline. Tampa Bay is average at best and only started 2-0 because they pretty much had the easiest schedule of any team in the league from week 1 to week 2.

A new coaching staff is like a fresh slate. In most cases, the last guy was fired/let go because the old system wasn't working. Just bumping up one of his subordinates is a half-assed effort and in most cases just gives you more of the same.

Besides, within our coaching staff we have nobody who's impressive enough to take that spot. None of the units look really good, even defense.

i think we need a new coaching staff top to bottom. even the commentators of the last game talked about how simple our defense was. no disguising blitzes, etc.... QB's know what they are going to get each play. makes it too easy to audible at the line so as much as i liked meeks, he's really nothing special when you break it down.

fire fox, hire new head coach, let him evaluate who he wants to keep but most likely he'll bring in his own guys.

We need to purge the entire coaching staff and start from scratch if we really want to start the rebuilding process. Get some fresh blood in there and a change of philosophy that the players can believe in, kind of like Fox did back in 2002.

All new coaching staff and new philosophy!

Wouldn't it be nice to have an offense that carries the team just once? An offense that can outscore the other team no matter what the defense does or doesn't do?

not gonna happen, but it would be nice...

Meeks is a fine DC... the problem with the complexity of our defense is that we have a slew of young players playing positions that helps with that, so the defense isn't very complex atm. It will improve as time goes on, just as last year I think.

No Meek's defenses aren't complex ever. They rely on people being in the right place making plays and flying to the ball to limit YAC and big plays. he relies on the line to get pressure and the linebackers to limit the run and DBs to limit the passes. It is a very simple defense which isn't disguised at all. When we got better last year was when Harris came back and we used more cover 1 rover. Problem is that Godfrey is improving but he still is no Chris harris in terms of knowledge and understanding.

Just because they are a coordinator for this team doesn't mean they wouldn't be successful as a head coach..

Also, what makes you think that coach would run the same system as Fox?

Sure, Meeks will most likely keep the defense in tacted but could bring someone over from Indy to help offensively.

      How many games before they pull the plug for good

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I guarantee it makes a difference. Give up 2 scores and its basically over until garbage time. The offense can barely drive the length of the field in 3 quarters. The defense has been gutted to build around a QB that is possibly the biggest bust in NFL history. For what we've put into the offense the past 3 years, we should be dropping 30 bombs with regularity. The only 30s we get are FGs.

      WR drops

      By HPPantherzfan · Posted

      Not according to some fly by night fantasy crusader!  There were 10 drops that should have netted Bryce another 450 yards and 7 TD’s

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      What? Am I mistaken that his rookie year included a horrible coaching staff and support players.   It's wasn't just Bryce.  I won't judge any player from that yeah.  It's impossible to make an accurate assessment on any player under those conditions. It's that simple. You break down each play and look at each player, what the expectation was, what happened during the play and what circumstances affected every player and position. There a reason why the narrative was he could be the biggest NFL bust in history.  Then after his benching he started to show remarkable improvement. Thus all the talk from fans and media about how dramatic of a turnaround it was and that Carolina no longer had a QB problem. First game this year the whole team stunk it up.  Why?  Plenty of blame to go around including Bryce. Improvements do not come it a nice straight line angling up.  I think Sunday was a step back for the whole team.  Still plenty of time to see if it was a bad outing to grow from or another indicator of issues that can't be overcome.
