So What Happened to the idea that....

[methodtoll]

We would get someone YOUNG to replace Trgovac and build him as our next head coach in a few years???

I am not dissing Meeks by no means, for all I know he can be a great coach here... But lets face it, he is not exactly a young, upcoming coach. He has been on the head coaching radar before but him and Fox are almost the same age and it is not likely that neither Meeks or Fox will remain coaches for much longer.

Maybe I will be wrong, maybe that we will get a few young guys in to help coach the DBs, LBs, and DL but Gantt's theory, so far, has been incorrect...

It was all speculation.

We opted to go the direction of the Pittsburgh Steelers and play the most smashmouth pussie zone this league has ever seen!

We would get someone YOUNG to replace Trgovac ...

He's only 54. At some time you will come to realize that there are only two ages: older than you and younger than you.

If he's younger than you that would be good.

Like I said, I have nothing against Meeks or his age, I was just pointing out what Gantt was saying we could do but if Fox probably wants to stop coaching soon, what makes you think that Meeks wouldn't most likely do the same?

Hell. I'd love to have Madden if he'd come back!

I wouldn't want Madden to drive the team bus.

That idea was just a bunch of fans on the internet giving their opinion of what "should be done". It had nothing to do with the direction management of this team wants to head.

Please remember that blogs, message boards, and for that matter anything written by journalists are just that....someone elsee's opinion. They bear absololutely no resemblance of the truth.

This post should be forever posted at the top of the board. I do agree as well.:thumbsup:

I'm certainly not on the Fire Fox chant list, by any means. But, if we were to let him go, I'd ten to one rather hire a guy than be forced to take his defensive coordinator based on some preconceived notion of hierarchy.

The possibility is also there that we are setting up to lose bigtime next year so we get a bunch of good draft picks.

[panthers55]

Bottom line is that Fox wanted to pick the best guy he could from his available choices who he felt had compatible philosophies and could build the defense and give him the best change to win. I am sure issues such as age were very well down the list. How many coaches really would pick a young guy as a coordinator so he could replace the coach down the road. That kind of thinking is for guys on their last leg ready to retire. The fact that Fox didn't consider that as a factor suggests he isn't exactly ready to hang it up anytime soon.

Sorry to disappoint those waiting for his demise.
