They wanted a youth movement because you cant have franchise players all over the place when your going to make a head coaching change which brings a new scheme and you want it to be an easy fix...So we bring in young players that havent made a statement yet, and wont cap the team to cut (johnson, Hardy, Brown, edwards, even CLAUSEN) if they don't fit the coaching transition. There all second round players making second round money, and we do have talent! A RUN game that can either be power or finness, a WR who is obviously in there future plans. Two good safeties. Williams, Stew, Gross, Otah, Beason, Davis, and Smith can all fit any scheme brought in next year. Fox Will NOT be fired this season because of the bond between the franchise and the coach. This was one last try that went wrong let him finsih out his contract, but we were excpecting it. Why in the hell would you go sign a premier pass rusher or trade for a player like Osi if you arnt even sure you'll be running a 4-3 next season? Or sign Moss? Why waste his time? Yes new head coach means new assistants. See ya meeks and davidson, and fox! This could be the quickest way to rebuild. you dont bring in vets like the lions have been doing for years they don't transition and you have to gut the roster every 2-3 years, and your stuck with players with big cap hits.

ok.. then why delay a coaching change a year? no matter how you look at it JR is cheap and threw this season away.

not exactly what I've heard sylvianlight.

He let Fox go after another job over the offseason. Reports say the bills offered him one even and he declined, as he was after something else. Fox decided to stick with the Panthers, and JR believed that Fox was a good coach and could get them through this year. I do believe JR is the kind of person that would honor his contract with Fox. Maybe I'm wrong. *shrugs*

This team is not good.

[Peppermint9030]

no really there awful but there not expensive would you rather be 1-15 With players like osi, moss, merriman? Or have it be an easy inexpensive fix? And yes im %100 JR is too classy to not fire Fox for wanting one more shot. Especially after how last season ended.

[Peppermint9030]

You had to clean how house either way... JR did it quick and as painless as possible hes not going to waste the new coaches offseason.

If true then why would Fox be so frustrated and calling out the FO / Personell guys right now? He would just deal with it quietly knowing that he had a choice to leave but decided to stay with his wings clipped. Eitherway JR should have cut ticket prices and announced this was a throwaway year and versus screwing the fan base.

Because he decided to stay before all the moves were decided, probably?
