Yahoo report says Ron Meeks may be at the top of the list for the Panthers Head Coach

Have heard from many people about an article on yahoo sports that said that Ron Meeks is the lead choice to be the Panthers head coach next year. unfortunately i can't find the article has anyone seen or heard anything else about this? A link would be awesome! I just hope the story is false, I really like meeks as a DC but not as a head coach unless it would be on a interim basis!

I did find this....:lol:

Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ron Meeks is more than qualified to coach the Dallas Cowboys. His resume speaks for itself. His defensive units helped one team win a Super Bowl and another make its first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.

What may prevent Meeks from coming to Dallas

Meeks runs a 4-3 defense and would probably want to bring his system to Dallas. The Cowboys have spent tons of money implementing the 3-4 over the last few years and may not want to gut the progress. Jerry Jones has not commented on the possibility of personnel turnover with the hiring of a new coach. Another problem may be the potential lock-out in 2011. It wouldn’t make much sense for Jerry to hire a new head coach to sit around for an entire year. If the Cowboys or Meeks decide to make it work, we could see the next Sean Payton here in Dallas. If that is the case, then this relationship could be a match made in heaven.

Dont buy it at all.... if this were true then you fire Fox after last weeks game and let Meeks work with this team the rest of the season.

Good point! You go ahead and make the change now, since you are already paying Meeks, at least then you can see if he is your guy.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
