John Fox and Denver parting ways

[Doc Holiday]

Fox is and was a meddling fool with offense, he really needs to be hands off about it and it looks like his meddling is what got manning considering retirement and sever was like Hells no!

...bro. They will not touch Josh McDaniels with a 10 foot pole lmao.

Wow I just thought that one through, I won't even edit my post lol that's embarrassing.

to the Jets ?

Bears

I could be wrong, but my guess is that Manning is going to play next year and wanted a final shot with Gase as head coach.

 

I think that's why the Manning torn Quad story came out this morning.

 

Fox is a solid coach who won't be out of work long...if he wants another head coaching gig, he'll get it.

[Mr. Scot]

I read that but didn't put much stock in it as that would be a...let's say odd reason to basically quit his job. Also wouldn't look good on his resume going forward...assuming he still wants to be a head coach....?

 

I can kind of understand it.

 

You've had Peyton Manning running your team for the past several years, and now all of a sudden he's not gonna be there anymore and you're looking at a team quarterbacked by Brock Osweiler, you might consider alternate prospects.

John Fox WITHOUT Peyton Manning: 81-79 record, 3 winning seasons, 4 playoff appearances in 10 years.

There are some real idiots on this board

Yeah, Jim Caldwell was a genius as soon as Peyton went down. You're telling me Fox would make the playoffs without Peyton next year and all of his Omaha audibles? If you think Fox was the reason for any of Denver's success you're out of your mind.

Fox took a team QB'd by Tim Freakin' The Golden Calf of Bristol to the playoffs...

 

I don't care what the schedule was...that's impressive

That should come with an asterisk. He went 81-79 with The Golden Calf of Bristol, Delhomme, and Clausen. 

 

It's actually a really good record considering. lol 

[PanthersBigD]

Matt Prater took that team to the playoffs...

[Mr. Scot]

Sounds like no one knows what's going on:

 

Mass confusion?

 

They might have to replace coordinators on both sides of the ball if Del Rio gets the Raiders job (and word is he wants it bad).

 

Conceivable Gase might decide to call his own plays though.

They were 8-8

 

7-4 with the Calf
