Trgo admits he wasn't comfy in Carolina

[beastson]

Forget all the B.S

All I know is that this organization better ensure this defense get back to what it is used to be this year

it's funny how offensive head coaches who call their own plays and gameplan aren't considered meddlers.

And the fact is that far, far more offensive HCs call the plays on offense on gameday than defensive HCs call the defenses on gameday. In fact, I can't think of one defensive HC who calls plays on gameday. The only example I can come up with is when Wade Phillips supposedly/reportedly took over playcalling on D in Dallas this past year.

That said, whatever primary background the HC is, I usually hold them more responsible for the performance on that side of the ball than I do for the other side.

When a guy willingly steps back into being a position coach though they are offered a contract as a DC, you have to wonder about their ability to handle pressure and to run a defense. I don't like the fact that he made public that he pretty much agreed with his wife's comment about working for a defensive HC vs an offensive HC if I am a potential future employer, that's for sure.

Bottom line, do your job well and your HC wont be in your arse.

It really is as simple as that, folks.

I have yet to see proof that Fox had anything to do with the defense more than attend a couple of meetings as an observer. That's all that's been reported, the rest is all assumptions. Assumptions with conviction but assumptions nonetheless...

Yet were going to offer Trgo a contract. Interesting.

Funny how everyone wanted Trgo gone but now point the finger at Fox cause he left.

[Zod]

Seems to me Fox has has two defensive coordinators thus far during the regular season.

One became a head coach.

One got demoted.

Sucks to be him.

[Fireball77]

Neither was ever a coordinator before until Fox made them so either. His having a guy with extensive experience as a DC will be interesting to watch.

People are looking at how he WAS offered a contract but turned it down.

If people think that Turd was a bad d/c, but then the Panthers were trying to extend him, then naturally wouldn't they have an issue with that even if he is gone?

IMO Trgo appeared to be overwhelmed at times this year and last. I'd see shots of him on the sidelines, and he'd look totally lost (the Arizona game was a case in point). I always wondered whether being a DC was over his head when Fox first hired him to take over for JDR. Maybe the demands just got to be too much over time.

[Jangler]

This season should answer all of our questions. If nothing really changes then the HC will.

I wouldn't put it past the panthers and trgo to have made up the fact they offered Trgo a contract. It could all have been contrived to save face for both sides of the table

[Peppers90 NC]

There are two possibilities: Either Trgo didnt appreciate not being able to do his job completely or that he was in over his head. I dont think it was the latter because the Panthers offered him another contract rather than not.

The good thing here is Meeks was already a DC under a DEFENSIVE coach. So he knows what to expect.
