The Carolina Panthers are in search of their fourth coach in the brief history of the franchise. There is a short list of teams in the NFL that have never played in the Super Bowl. The Panthers are one team not on that list. Jerry Richardson and family have made it policy that when they pick head coaches they want defensive minded people.
They started with Dom Capers who got the Panthers in the NFC championship game. Today he is is heading up the defense in Green Bay. The only disaster for a coach was George Seifert who won two Super Bowls on the coat tails of Bill Walsh who lasted but three years and his last season lost his last 15 games as coach of the Panthers. John Fox came on board who like Capers had been a defensive coordinator before moving to Charlotte. Fox is the winningest coach in the short history of the Panthers.
It would be no surprise at all if Ron Rivera the defensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers who's defense was #1 this past season winds up the Panthers head coach. Panther management has always looked to the defense first and the old saying defense wins championships.
What happened to the 44-41 national championship game last night. Auburn kicks a field goal to win it 22-19 over Oregon. I think Cam Newton proved last night that he is a Vince Young clone who is not that accurate passing and will struggle in the NFL.
Does anybody know whether Oregon wore the same color uniform more than once this year. If I am sitting in the stands and my team comes out to warm up I want to be able to recognize them as they come on the field to cheer for them. I think it is great that an Oregon alum owns one of the major sporting goods companies but a new uniform every week is ridiculous.
