Snag in the extension of Trgovac...

Turgovac could end up being the cute girl that was a good lay that you dumped only to find out she was actually pretty hot and really good in bed once you sampled other chicks.

Looking back I think you could say the same thing about Dan Henning. But even with Henning being successful in Miami, I think at that time there needed to be a change. I agree that Trgovac isn't as bad as most make him out to be but even if they brought in a DC that was exactly like Trgovac, the change itself could make a big difference.

I don't really think that Davidson is any better at play calling than Henning was but some of the little things like standing on the sideline instead of being up in the booth can create an atmosphere where the players respond to the in game coaching better than the previous coach.

I think there are going to be coaching issues next year, everybody. You don't lose this many coaches and just carry on, business as usual. There are growing pains.

New Orleans and Atlanta seemed to do fine.

ESPN is saying that the Chiefs are going to wait till after the Super Bowl to make a move for Todd Haley. If the Chiefs do let Herm Edwards go, how quick does Fox offer him the job as DC?

Different situations. They were all starting from scratch. Here you have a coach who is losing most of his loyal staff, bringing in new people who don't know the Fox way. There is something wrong when all of these guys are jumping ship at once. The defense wasn't broken. It just needed tinkering.

[Zod]

You are taking for granted they don't know the fox or trgo way. They very well might from past jobs.

LOL. I was thinking the same exact thing. I think he's an awful coordinator, but wouldn't it be ironic if Fox was really the problem and he's had Turdo handcuffed all this time. Turdo holds out and wants promises from Hurney that Fox will not trifle with his defense...he gets that promise...Carolina breaks every defensive record in the book in 2009...Fox gets fired...Turdo becomes new head coach and leads us to 4 straight Superbowl wins.

Willing to take a chance throwing out the "pretty hot girl" for the supermodel.

Maybe the thing wrong is Jerry wants a team that looks like the Steelers. Top notch and ultra tough defense and a smash mouth running game. One side of the ball looks pretty good with a lot of potential. What about the other side of the ball? Being just good enough will only make you average, not consistently a top five defense like we all want here.

Agreed

Miami changed theirs out and improved on a huge losing season .

Was not business as usual !!

we don't deserve you, Mr. TrGOvac

that may be the funniest thing ever written.

ever.

Well, my question is...where are we gonna find all of these replacements, and how can we expect the defense to be better with the players we have now? IMO, Panthers fans have been overestimating our talent all season long. Let's face it...the D-line really wasn't that good this year, and it won't matter who the DC is if they don't bring in some more talent.

Everybody wants to blitz all the time, but it won't matter if the D-line can't win their one on one battles. Blitzes are designed to augment the pass rush of the D-line, not to completely make up the the lack of pressure by the front 4.
