"It's also worth monitoring what happens in Kansas City with coach Herm Edwards. He and Fox were college teammates at San Diego State, and if Edwards is fired by new Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, he could find a soft landing spot in Charlotte while he waits for another head coaching opportunity."

I know im reaching here, but that would be a godsend if he was our DC.

interesting.....

In past years, the Panthers have moved quickly to keep their own. Last offseason, they denied Cincinnati permission to interview secondary coach Tim Lewis for a coordinator job. But this year, they've apparently told all of their assistants they could look elsewhere. Lewis' name was immediately linked to the defensive coordinator opening in Green Bay (along with former Panthers head coach Dom Capers).

Multiple sources told The Herald the team has offered nothing more than one-year extensions to all current deals, which expire this offseason.

General manager Marty Hurney didn't return calls seeking comment, and a team spokesman said Saturday they wouldn't comment on McCoy's reported departure until the Broncos announced his hiring.

Aside from the lack of security they're offering, there's a chance some firings could befoot after a disastrous late-season defensive collapse.

The name that has garnered the most attention -- at least from an angry fanbase -- is defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac.

In my opinion, the foundation for Panthers football is two-fold. A strong running game, which we now have, and the defensive front four. Now I know some posters here would like Tim Lewis to be our DC, but i think he would give too much attention to the secondary.

So who could we bring in at DC that would bring back and use the overpowering front?

Like I said multiple times, wants Mike gone, you should want Fox gone

The Herald reported in 2007 that coach John Fox had effectively taken over Trgovac's defense meetings early in the season. Several members of the organization (both players and from outside the locker room) confirmed that Fox did a similar thing this year, though it was closer to midseason when he began to exert his influence again.

I know Gruden got fired late but if Fox hasn't been fired by now then I doubt he'll get fired now... Plus, look who is available... No one at this point. I mean, Spags went to the Rams, Ryan is going to NY, Schwartz is with the Lions, and Mangini is in Cleveland.... So who would we get? Shannahan? No, he wants to stay out a year... Marty? Ain't going to happen, and of course the most famous name of this board, Bill Cowher? Nope, he wants to stay where he is at.

Point being, don't expect Fox to be fired until we know who will be available next season, if he is fired, which I don't expect it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
