I didn't even know Ron Meeks was "relieved" as the Panthers defensive coordinator. Wish him the best in San Diego.

I'm still waiting for someone to hire Jim Caldwell! What, no takers?

Meeks as the Chargers secondary coach? Man, he has sure taken a step back. From D coordinator of one of the best teams in the league to D coordinator of a rebuilding team to secondary coach of a team going who knows where...

People forget that our D was top 5 in the league when we had respectable DTs in Ed Johnson and Pitcock to go along with a healthy Sanders. Our pass D was consistently in the top 10 while Ron Meeks was around but not our run D, which was consistently bottom 10 . I still think it was a by product of Dungy's system that Polian drafted for consistently with our DTs being undersized too often. We did a lot of good things with our zone coverage, IMO with Meeks, the Panthers' pass D was top 10 as well under Ron Meeks (you can check it out).

But when you have a new coach in Ron Rivera, he is going to bring his own guys he is comfortable with but Ron Rivera could still not improve the Panthers' run D and their pass D got worse. Now, the Panthers are talking about moving to a 3-4, their division is full of 4-3 Ds. So, what gives?

I think it is a good hire, from a pass D point of view. Good luck to Ron Meeks.

Meeks has coached some all pro defensive backs. He will do well in San Diego.
