For the love of god Jerry please don't promote from within

[klumme]

Agree totally. You only promote when the system is working.

[Lumps]

System needs to be more than working to promote within. It would be stupid to do this. I do want an offense that can score no matter what but I do like defenses that can hold up no matter what. fug it I want both.

Actually I think Meeks may get a look

He will defintely get a look. The question is whether it is inspired by the Rooney Rule or merit based. I don't know him at any level so I really don't know what he would do. I like the idea of someone from the Colts on offense. Moore and Christensen aren't going anywhere so it would have to be lower on the totem pole. With the name Jim Bob Cooter, he might not know that much but his name would fit in here. There are two guys with connections to the Panthers on their coaching staff. Frank Reich is the quarterbacks coach which would complete a circle for him. He was the first quarterback to start a game for the Panthers. And Pete Metzelaars is the offensive line coach and was a tight end for us in our inaugural year. Two other guys would get a look by Meeks. Ron Turner who was with Chicago until this year and Ricky Thomas who coached in Tampa before joining the Colts in 2002 both are pretty knowledgeable guys. I wonder if any of them would be any good.

The only promotion from within that I would be on board with would be Gregory to replace Hurney. Otherwise yeah.

Fox was an outsiderrrrrrrrrrrrr..............................

[Kevin Greene]

Sadly, let's hope the most economic option (In house) doesn't lead to more mediocrity.

[Mr. Scot]

I think Meeks will get an interview, but don't really see him getting the job.

My top candidates right now would be...

Mike Zimmer

Leslie Frazier

Winston Moss

Jim Harbaugh

[Catdaddy]

If we don't resign Fox, we will hire a offensive coordinator off a playoff team, put money on it!

He will be interim HC during lockout, Bigcat is not healthy but he is cheap and smart. Why pay for a Porche, that you can't drive for a year.

How in the hell can you give yourself "pie"?

I needed another slice.

[realdeal]

I guess you guys want a team like Rams,browns and okland. You lose a fewer games and you want to fire the coach. 2 year ago this system went 12-4 and if it wasn't for jake most likely we would went to the Superbowl. Now last year went 8-8 mostly jake again so we let him go and rebuild the whole team now we lost 3 games with alot of rookie. Now lets hang FOX. Fox will be back next year if not we would be starting next year with a new coach and the rookie team not this year. EVEN the best coach in NFL don't win them all.
