Another article on what some have been saying here. More proof Gnatt reads the huddle.

CHARLOTTE -- In a sense, the man the Carolina Panthers choose as their next defensive coordinator won't matter much.

Then again, he might be their most important hire since 2002, if they let him.

The Panthers were flung into fullblown scramble mode late Wednesday night, when defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac told them "thanks but no thanks," after they offered him a two-year contract extension. They weren't expecting him to turn them down, as team officials were confident he was one of the pieces they had secured for the coming year.

It will be interesting to see what course Fox takes. If he goes old-boy, I bet Herm Edwards is our new DC. If he looks for new blood, then it will likely be someone we've never heard of.

I figured that despite the playoff loss, after a 12-4 season the offseason would be pretty quiet. Wow...

For two years running, head coach John Fox had taken over Trgovac's defensive meetings midseason. In 2007, it was four weeks in before Fox bigfooted his coordinator. Last year it took another month before Fox exerted himself. Asked in 2007 if he was worried about undercutting Trgovac's authority in front of the players, Fox shrugged off the perceived slight, replying: "When you're the head coach you're allowed to do that."

We will always speculate exactly what happened with all these coaches and Peppers attitude but we would be fools not to acknowlegde that this was a factor (big or small).

I wish some reporter would do some digging on exactly why Fox got involved. There are enough ex-players around at this point that I'm sure the reason could be found out.

Yea everyone knows he took over at times but the real reason is why?

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
