GReat Valid Points...From your thread.Its a toss up..But it should be a great search.. But for an offensive guy to compete against that its going to be very hard...

BJM56, this is not aimed at you directly, but I just wanted to make a point on your last sentence based on things I've read about the Panthers' preference for their next HC.

IMO the Panthers are going to have to approach their search with more of an open mind if they are to successfully find Fox's replacement. Just fixating their search on a defensive mind coach b/c they are supposedly better at "problem solving" to me is a bit narrow-minded. Who's to say an offensive minded coach is not a good "problem-solver"? Sometimes the people you hire to work along with is the smartest move you can make. Who's to say a good offensive minded coach wouldn't be willing to bring in a very good defensive minded "problem-solver" and let him do his job? I know I'm saying this b/c my personal favorite for Fox's eventual replacement would be Brian Schottenheimer (so I am a bit biased), but I would hate to see the team miss out on a real good prospect, be that Schotty or someone else, because they're unwilling to think outside of the box.

Most likely it will be a 3-4 defense..Most young coaches will go 3-4 defense anyway because it is a trend.. Somebody like leslie frazier he will probably run a 4-3 or run a tampa 2 scheme.Or Ron Rivera..But I doubt Ron Rivera will be our Head coach I sseriously doubt that..Also i believe if leslie Frazier is our Head coach he might bring in RonRivera as Defensive Coordinator because they do have ties..But anybody else most likely will run a 3-4.Also Carolina has no d-line in the first place.And it will take a lot to rebuild it.So it might just be easier to run 3-4...Also Just a thought I wrote a post about Rob Ryan been our coach.Just because he had a some what steady Defense.

But this year his defense Played Pretty Well against NFC South teams.And they Stop the saints, in our divsion that is what we are looking to do Stop the saints falcons and the Upcoming Bucs.I believe when the browns play the panthers it could be a Interview for both Rob Ryan and John Fox..

Prowler2K8- You have a good point but its just the thought that Jerry Richardson most likely will go after some one who fits his Profile. He has mostly interviewd defense guys.Probably due to the fact it has always been more defensive guys. But i understand were you are coming fromI believe he will be a good choice.But His Offense isnt high profile like i expect it 2 be. Its either him or Grimm or Harbaugh ( Long Shot), and heimerdinger.Out of All I believe Heimerdinger Grimm and Schottenheimer..But Josh mcdaniels up in denver might make it hard for young Coordinators to get a job..

Good point, didn't think about Josh McD. Personally, I thought it was a mistake for Denver to hire McDaniels b/c I didn't think he was ready. And right now, the Broncos have some personnel issues of their own. I just hope McDaniel's tenure in Denver does prevent the Panthers from exploring all options.

I think we will stick with the 4-3 thats what we are built for.Plus are best LB is not a fit in 3-4.

Two or three teams went with young head coaches a little while back (call it the NFL's "youth movement" if you want). The idea was that if a team got a young guy in and he took off, they could be set for the next decade or more. But the question would be "has it worked"?

The youngest coaches in the league right now are...

Josh McDaniels - Broncos, Age: 34, Current Record: 10-13

Raheem Morris - Bucs, Age: 34, Current Record: 7-15

Mike Tomlin - Steelers, Age: 38, Current Record: 36-18 (3-1 in the postseason)

Eric Mangini - Browns, Age: 39, Current Record: 30-41

Outside of Tomlin - who's part of the Steeler organization - it looks pretty bad. Denver and Tampa are hoping for better things, of course. And they may get them, but they may not.

Turns out experience may not be so overrated after all.

Beason is a fit in a 3-4 he is 6'1 Or 6'0 All of the others are about 6'2 there isnt that much of a difference.. Lawarence Timmons is 6'1 Farrior is 6'2 From the steelers.. Ravens Ray Lewis is 6'1 Jameel McClain is 6'1..Jets Bart Scott 6'2 david Harris 6'2. RedSkins London Fletcher is 5'10, Mcintosh 6'2. Carolina Beason Is 6'0 and connor is 6'2.. So everybody isnt that tall.He is taller the Fletcher and Fletcher is Playing great in the 3-4.. We have 2 good MLB in Beason and Connor, We just Need an Edge Rusher We already have 1 in Evertt Brown We just need another Maybe Shawn Merriman we can pick up in free agency.Or Lamar Woodly He will be a free agent after the season.Who Knows Anderson becomes a free agent also davis.Davis is pretty much injury prone 2 years back to back injured..The only thing we will need to work on is the d-line..The secondary is good with Godfrey who could be a great Blitzing safety in the 3-4 and also Gamble is a good Cover Corner..

I mean its likely 4 us 2 change to a 3-4 then 2 stay as 4-3 defense.. I mean We have no pass rush...We gotta do something 2 developed a better pass rush.But I only see Leslie frazier Having us stay as a 4-3 anybody else No..

Actually, a good number of the guys on the list have done both.

The only guy I could see unquestionably going 3-4 would be Keith Butler. Grimm might be another since he's a Steelers product, but he saw a 4-3 in Washington when he started his career. Unknown what he'd prefer.

McDermott would most definitely be 4-3. And my gut feeling is that Zimmer and Rivera would both go back to 4-3 as head coaches because that's where their roots lie.

Thats the Point..Right Now Zimmerman Might be the Bengals coach next Season, Mcdermott most liekly is out of been a coach race.Its going to be Pretty Hard 2 get Butler...The only one that is left is Ron Rivera.He has a chance at been the panthers coach.I want say he will be number 1 on the the list but some were down the line...also Frazier also..

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
