Fox is loyal as hell. Even to players.The people here in Charlotte have been calling for his head. The Panthers had two of their worse seasons defensively under Trgo. He basically wore out his welcome. Again, I have no idea what the Panthers were thinking trying to retain him.
My first thought as well. I also wonder whether they're going to institute a hybrid 4-3/3-4 scheme.
I was actually wondering if Pepper's forced him out, but I had to get my tinfoil hat for that one.
Who knows anymore? Herm Edwards as DC? (thats the rumor I am seeing anyway)
Well, I certainly won't eliminate the possibility that I'm a FRIGGIN' GENIUS!
Plenty of guys have been clowns as head coaches but are good coordinators. Has Herm ever been a coordinator before?
Panther Nation would go NUTS if this happen. Although that would cost a boat load of money. I'm not sold on him actually coming to the Queen City b/c I think he wants a head coaching job which won't happen as long as Fox is winning and getting the team into the playoffs. That said, I like the idea of Herm Edwards coming to town.
Why don't you two wish for unicorns and rainbows with pots of gold at the end of them?Sheesh.Panther Nation would go NUTS if this happen. Although that would cost a boat load of money.

He was the DB coach under Kiffin in Tampa, that's a sign he's probably a good coach who just didn't cut it as a HC. Not sure if the cover 2 would fly in Carolina.
The Panthers ran cover 2 last year under Trug. Give up another TD and try to cover the 2 pt conversion attempt.
Woo-hoo!!! They're all gone!!! Now we can dump the "bend and break" defense for something else.
would REALLY like to see them get aggressive on Defense. I think they have the players for it, just need the right coach.
Fox needs to let whoever he hires coach the defense and call the plays. I read somewhere he basically had the last word on what kind of defense was on the field when Trgo (sp?) was there. I would really like to see Herm Edwards at least interviewed...would REALLY like to see them get aggressive on Defense. I think they have the players for it, just need the right coach.
You mean go from the 4-3 to the 3-4?4 touchdowns and 3 fieldgoals a game to 3 touchdowns and 4 fieldgoals a game? I think we need a better defense than thatWoo-hoo!!! They're all gone!!! Now we can dump the "bend and break" defense for something else.
I am not a Panther fan, but I find it a little difficult to see they joy of Panther fans over the D Coordinator and his staff leaving. John Fox played DB in both High School and College. He's coached on the defensive side of the ball since 1983, including spending 6 years as a defensive coordinator in the NFL before taking the HC job in Carolina. Who do you really think was running the show on the defensive side of the ball?Fox needs to let whoever he hires coach the defense and call the plays.

This is what I was going to post. Panther fans are nuts if they think things are going to really change with the D. Fox was a hghly regarded DC before he came to the Panthers and his fingerprints are all over the D. Fox will have to put his ego aside and let the new guy run the defense. I dont see it happen unless ownership forces him, and at this point I dont see that being done.I would personally like to thank the Fox for being this way as the Packers gained another solid coach on the defense with a new line coach.I am not a Panther fan, but I find it a little difficult to see they joy of Panther fans over the D Coordinator and his staff leaving.
