For those who don’t think we should fire Frank this year, and give him an additional year to see what shapes out… why? I truly want to understand what it is that you see differently than the rest of us.
We’ve had plenty of “why Frank should be fired” posts, so I’ll keep my points short for the initial post. If you’re on the “keep frank” side, please let me know what your view on these points is.
1. We have gotten worse week over week
2. Play calling is very clearly an issue since the pre-season
3. Frank has shown time and again that he is set in his ways and does not adapt
4. Keeping a coach we know won’t have long-term success does more harm to Bryce’s future and puts us in a NY Jets/Cleveland Browns type of situation.
I think that you have to give Reich at least one more year so the team can evaluate what went wrong this season and go out in the off season and target specific pieces to improve. They can tweak the offensive scheme to work for Bryce, too.
If Panthers show no major improvements and don’t come close to playoffs, next year, then I think you fire him. Putting Bryce in a system of continually changing coaches isn’t good. And who’s to say the next person will be any good?
Panthers need to spend big on the O line and receivers in the off season.
