I like reading charlotte.com's "inside the panthers" blog. And when I mean "I like reading" I'm saying every time I read a piece off of that blog I feel like ripping the laptop from it's wire and chucking it into the street outside so I can watch a Fed Ex truck run right the fuck over it.
In our latest installment, Charles Chandler proves to the world he knows nothing about football by immediately suggesting Jim Haslett as the defensive coordinator, mere hours after the news reached the AP that Mike Turdyvac had flushed himself.
My opinion of Haslett:

Jim Haslett is not fresh. He's not new. He isn't young, he doesn't have an innovative defensive mind, and he's not going to be any improvement over Trgovac. Why don't we use the chance we have now to find someone who can really make a difference for this defense rather than go for the "quick fix" just to shore up the position so we don't have to worry about it. That's stupid. Ok Charles, you ready to play a game? It's called guess what the numbers mean....

I kyped this from the New York lottery. They got new machines, they don't need it anyway. So lets check what numbers come out. Lets see... we've got a....28....21....23...14...32...18...27...16...8...11...12...6...13. That's it. Want to know what they all mean? Those are actually stats in overall defense for the teams Jim Haslett has either been a 1)Head coach, or 2)Defensive coordinator for. These numbers are just fucking terrible. And you're suggesting hiring this guy? Why? Because he's unemployed so it makes you feel bad? Try being a full-time college student who's struggling just to buy fucking textbooks and who works 20 hours a week and makes less than $200 chasing a shitty hourly wage. And compound paying for a college education with also paying your own health insurance. I don't got a lot of time to feel sorry for coordinators who make fucking 6 figure incomes doing a job they absolutely love.
Guess who else is unemployed, Mr. Ron Meeks. He's just had 2 solid defensive seasons in Indy. Wait, I'm not finished there's more. There's also my pick of the litter, Sean McDermott, out of Philly, an assistant coach just ripe for the pickins and waiting to take a promotion elsewhere. You remember the last Philly assistant who got a promotion elsewhere? Yea,
he just beat out Jim Haslett for the head coaching job in St. Louis.
You know who else beat out Jim Haslett? Dom fucking Capers. Yea. The Packers would rather take their chances with that idiot as their DC than Haslett.
The Panthers don't need old trends at DC who don't have any new ideas. They need an aggressive defense, and Philly runs the best aggressive 4-3 formation in my honest opinion. Lets take a page from someone's book who's actually done well for themselves lately.
