~~The official FIRE JOHN FOX AND MARTY HURNEY thread~~

The thought of having Cowher next year.. that would be awesome. I'd love a coach that actually would get pissed once in a while, rather than the old "it is what it is" attitude. As a player, you know you don't want to fug up with the chin watching you.

I agree with a large portion of the OP. At least we showed some improvement today..which was pretty much Jake Delhomme not sucking ass.

I believe John Fox himself knows this team cannot make playoff this season and he will be caned as soon as the season is over if not earlier. The only question I care about this team is how many wins they can get. I hope it won't be a huge goose egg.

I am in complete agreement. John Fox should be caned. Hurney and Delhomme as well.

not sure how this thing turned into a fire Charlotte post, but back to Fox and Hurney, this is a tough call for me. 0-2 will make alot of fans toe the edge of the bridge. In fact, I am sure my wife has hid all knives in the house. However, we were 12-4 last year. It is hard to believe we fire our entire front office 1 year after that.

Now do I think last year is a reason to keep them around, not really. I can go either way on this one. I more favor keeping Fox and dumping Hurney. The original point about the state of the team is correct. The off season beginning with the trade of next years 1st round pick has been a disaster. The fact is that Hurney has failed to address the QB situation and the WR/TE situation. He has failed to sign anyone servicable at returning punts and our lack of depth is showing on special teams. The o-line is solid but without any subs and the d-line is playing a bunch of subs.

Over the past 5 years the Panthers are 2nd among NFC teams in wins, so I favor keeping Fox, but because of the state of the team and its makeup, I favor kicking Hurney.

I think the problem most are begining to see is there doesnt appear to be a way out of this current situation. With massive issues at multiple coaching positions, player positions, players age, player disire the future appears bleak.

I really really like Fox, hardly ever agree with his scheme but I believe he is a good coach. The true lack is in players to play this god awful scheme. Its easy to play with pep in his younger years atleast effort was there (see him following mcnabb down and not catching him this year as opposed to coming accross the field to catch plummer at endzone in o5?) Best dt in league at time Jenkins, above avearage end rucker and dt buck. WIth a great cover mlb morgan.

Just appears to be so many holes with limited funds/draft picks too get yourself out of this hole. Sad sad state of affairs.

I agree with OP on most everything. The drafting is debatable but we need a change at the helm. Fox and Hurney cannot produce a consistently competitive team. That is their main problem and will be their down fall.

As for QB talent, who knows what we have because we cannot base it on Fox and Hurney's evaluation of QB talent which is just plain nonexistent overall. I'm beginning to wonder if Matt Moore may not be as bad as Fox and his cosches think he is just on that fact alone. How can we judge is talent really? Why is he still here after all? What is going on with this team?

    • It absolutely is on him for doing it and I'd wager he used a good bit of that psychology major to help him through interviews because he could read people better than most. The Panthers should have recognized it for what it was, hell, we all did, but you can't absolve him just because everyone else does it.    38 Million guaranteed. 
    • No Ikem vs the best pass rushing team in the NFL?  With no pocket for Bryce to step in to because of arguably the best interior DL in the NFL, Dexter Lawrence? Giants win comfortably IMO.  Look at how hype the Panthers were to win last week.  That was enough for them. The Panthers have struggled against mobile QBs this year too.  Guys who can extend the play.  Bo Nix, Marcus Mariota, Caleb Williams.  Panthers have struggled against all QBs this year to be honest, but those guys in particular did the best statistically.  Expect a big game from Danny Dimes, Nabers, and Tyrone.
    • And where did anyone say they were? I’m saying that’s where the comp comes from. I agree they are different. No two QBs are the same even that Nebraska QB is different than Mahomes no matter how hard he tries…
