If you're a Panther fan, you hate Mike Trgovac. It's just a fact of life. Even if you don't know why, you still hate him. But most people have a reason, and the simple reason is his defense doesn't work. His formula, scheme, gameplans, they all suck, he can't make an adjustment during a game to save his life and he's just about a week and a half removed from one of the shittiest defensive performances I've ever seen fielded, where Larry Fitzgerald had 150 receiving yards, ....at the half. So if you're like me and regularly check up on the Charlotte.com Panthers page, or frequent the carolinahuddle.com message board, when they posted this article, your reaction went something like this...
I mean, why? Just why? Do we want to win a superbowl? Or do we want to toil in mediocrity and "just be thankful we're not 1-15"? 31 other teams, 31 other head coaches would've fired his ass come the end of the weekend after that pitiful gameplan, but not here. Why? Is there something in the water?
No. I know the answer. Mike Trgovac must poop gold, because the fact that he is still here says alot about the accountability of this team, and the distinct trend that is generally accepted by this coaching staff and, even worse, some of the fans, that it was only one game, when in reality, this game has happened time and time again, where one player is just not accounted for, and gets yards after yards of offense, and nothing is ever done to stop it. And forget that shit about holding the Cardinals to 6 points after the half, Whisenhunt gave us mercy after stomping a mudhole in our team and walking it dry.
Maybe the real problem is higher up. Maybe we're not looking high enough up the ladder, maybe come next year, a fresh, new coaching staff will come into Carolina with some fresh new ideas and the willingness to change what doesn't work. Maybe we can get a coaching staff that isn't closed minded to certain ideas, like the fact that Jake Delhomme is going to inevitably retire, and when he does, we're either going to draft a first round QB or be fucked up royal as far as QBing. And best idea yet, maybe this coaching staff can reach new heights for the Panthers, higher heights than John Fox has ever achieved.
Maybe this "new" coaching staff can "Win Things" instead of "Almost Win Things"...
Of course that'll require the Panthers Organization, as well as a lot of the fans, to abandon that ass-backwards "I'm thankful we just have a franchise" mentality that was only acceptable the first 3 years of Panthers football, and adopt a more forward "Our goal is to win the big one" mentality that every other team has.
