Did the Panthers hire the wrong guy?

After doing some researching for head coaching related threads in early 2011, I was reminded that the only guys we sought contact with were Greg Manusky, Perry Fewell, Rob Ryan, and of course, ol' tree face Ron. All NFL defensive coordinators. Worst part is Ron probably was the best candidate out of all of them. In January the next time we look for a head coach, I hope JR doesn't order the same lame, narrow-minded approach, because being stubbornly closed-minded in thinking only NFL DCs can lead you to success didn't work then. So the answer to that question is no, we probably didn't hire the wrong guy, and that's the sad part, because Jerry's so out of touch with what's working in the NFL he probably doesn't even know 3/4ths of the names of other prominent HC candidates that aren't DCs.

 

Oh and here's a sample of my state of mind after hiring Ron at the time:

 

i like our coaching personnel better than i like SF's

in fairness to yourself i think everyone thought we had a great line up of coaches at the time, especially defensively.

 

Rivera had led some great D's, McDermott was a bright young prodigy and is the only one who hasn't bombed his career here, and Meeks had done alright coordinating given the talent level on our D the past season and was now the Secondary coach. Chud had worked with a good offense in SD.

 

 

But it's just more evidence for Jerry that assembling defensive coaches is not some awesome secret success recipe

      Bryce Young Is Terrible

      McMillan could've caught that TD but whatever. Chuba, the specialists and, that's about it for being absolved. Horn made a great pick. The defensive line and linebackers may as well not exist. I think Dan might've hit on a WR pick finally, but no one else was of any value, per usual.

      Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

      This is probably one of the only real quotables that stuck with me from my dad growing up, and now, I don’t think there’s a more fitting motto for our Carolina Panthers except they’re the ones that’s doing the pissing and telling.  They ARE pissing on our legs and saying it’s the rain. We’ve wasted two additional years in Bryce after knowing what he was from his rookie year.  No contingency plan in place.  But, plenty of fake hype about a few lightning fast glimmers of hope in contrast to the consistent, large sample size of work that he had showing he was not an NFL starting QB.  Look at the defense - where guys like Morgan, instead of addressing a position of weakness, spends the offseason telling us how great Trevin Wallace is.  How much trust they have in a guy like Cherelus(sp?).  How much they’re counting on young edge rushers Princely and Scourton…  then we get into a meaningful game and Wallace is abhorrent.  Horrible.  Disgustingly bad.  Rozeboom looks horrible.  Constantly missing tackles and out of position.  The rookie edge rushers?  I don’t even know if they played today.  And we still generate zero pressure for most of the game.     All this organization does now is LIE.  To us, to themselves. All they do is shill.  It’s a con job.  They know their product is poo, but listen to how great it is.  Believe us!
