Staff Rebuilding Hypos [Warning: This thread contains a Cowher reference]

[Chubbs McGee]

**NOTICE: THIS THREAD IS PURE AND UNADULTERATED WISHFUL NONSENSE**

Given the state of flux that the Carolina defensive coaching staff is in, if you were in charge would you:

A: Let Fox rebuild his defensive staff and keep trucking along.

B: Dump Fox, promote Davidson, and let him build a staff with the goal of creating a creative offensive minded team.

C: Dump Fox, and hire Cowher as HC (assuming he would, which doesn't seem likely this year), and let him rebuild the entire staff, and in the process switch the D to a *gasp* 3-4.

B

Davidson doesn't know defense. He will hire a coordinator, and let him run it the way he wants it. If that means Fox will stop butchering the offensive playcalling and tinkering with the defensive schemes, them I'm all for it. This is just wishful nonsense though.

I'd hate to become one of the fire-fox fine young males that stroll around here though...

Damn, so many edits. None of these options look too appealing.

This is just wishful nonsense though.

Yeah, it is. But at least it's semi-interesting nonsense.

Agree 100%. This is not meant to be a doom and gloom thread.

We need a fake GM who is decisive and not afraid to go with his/her plan. You're out. :D

For the moment ......A.

For the moment ......A.

Agreed.

I want to see if Fox and/or our new defensive coordinator can turn the defense around before wanting him gone.

B---cannot happen because the OWNER of the team wants to be just like the Steelers

A---will probably happen for the next 2 years until Fox's contract is up and he retires

C---Cowher went to one superbowl and 2 AFC championship games in his first 7 years as head coach, losing the superbowl, just like John Fox. The next two years, 8 and 9, for those of you who are mathematically challenged were bad years. It was not until he broke down and drafted a QB in rd1, that he was able to finally overcome 14 years of mediocrity and win a superbowl. Why exactly does everyone want Cowher?

I don't think that the answer lies within any of your solutions

If we want, and I mean really want, to be like the Steelers, as JR confesses, then we should follow their lead and hire the Vikings DC as our head coach. Leslie Frazier is the answer. The FO just doesn't have the guts to do it.

Because under Cowher the Steelers were consistantly in the hunt for their division title and the playoffs. Pittsburgh was feared as a place to play. I personally want the guy in here

[megadeth078]

A winning season followed by a losing season or two is what he wants though.

Just to be clear, I don't want Cowher.

[Wanderlai]

C, all day long!

[Lt Pinkerton]

A for right now.

I do wonder how a Davidson style offensive minded team would be though.

[MurkN]

To Cowher's credit he had Tommy Maddox and Kordell Stewart to work with.

I wonder what he could have done with David Carr.
