I liked Capers best. His defenses were beastly and he cared about the Oline. Also cared about team improvement.

Fox next, he lacked many things such as team adjustments, roster decisions, sticking with the same plan over and over. However, at least he gave a damn about the oline.

Rivera I would put 3rd. He is just like Fox except, he gave not 1 fug about offensive line and protecting the best QB in franchise history. fug him.

1) Fox

2) Rivera

3) Capers

Fox never got to draft a franchise QB (Clausen in the lame duck year doesn't count).  He was the most consistent winner though.  The only reason I slightly hesitated with him is how he quit on this organization. 

Rivera had the best nucleus of of young talented players and still couldn't get us over the top or even make us consistent winners.  He SHOULD be #1, but couldn't maximize the most talented rosters we've ever had.

Capers was able to cobble together a bunch of aging cast-offs and make them winners in a short time, but wasn't able to see that he needed to flip the roster to a younger one in time to save his job.

Fox didn't want to draft a franchise QB. He didn't believe in them.

All he really wanted was a quarterback to run a basic offense and not screw up too much.

The laughable and honestly sad part is when this list comes around every year (sorry OP, it's not a unique thread) is until Rhule, Siefert was unanimously at the bottom.  At least ol' Geroge got us a .500 season.  For his sake, at least he's never going to be seen as the Panther worst HC of all time anymore.

Eh, I'm not sure he didn't believe in them as much as the time it takes to develop them.  If the scenario was right where he could have got one early on in 2002 or 2003, it may have worked. Once he struck gold with Delhomme, drafting a franchise QB was all but an afterthought.

That was actually quoted from Darin Gantt.

Fox was an old school defensive coach. In his thinking, the offense's job was basically to not screw up.

Sure, I get that and know that, but we would never know what would have happened regarding drafting a QB high because Jake turned out to be a hidden gem of a FA.  Jake was much more than just a game manager.  If that were the case and that's all he was, I could have seen Fox taking a stab on a QB early in the draft.  Again, Jake worked out so well (up to the Tommy John surgery) that developing a rookie QB wasn't necessary.

We know from behind the scenes stories in 2010 that he didn't want to draft Clausen.

(granted, he was right in that case)

Yup, he had one foot already out the door and the main grudge I hold against Fox. It's like an employee refusing to do anything productive on their last day of work.  Ok, Richardson didn't extend his contract, but at least put your best product on the field!  The only good thing about him quitting on the 2010 squad was we were able draft Cam in 2011.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By thennek · Posted

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
