Terry Bradshaw: Jake Delhomme's demise greasing Bill Cowher's path to Carolina

Fox broadcaster Terry Bradshaw said today that if Carolina QB Jake Delhomme doesn't improve, both he and head coach John Fox will be out of jobs and former Steelers coach Bill Cowher could be at the helm of the Panthers.

Delhomme was benched in Week 1 after throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble. That gave him a two-game total of 11 turnovers dating to a playoff loss to Arizona in January.

Bradshaw echoed comments by former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis that Fox's future is tied to Delhomme's progress.

"If Delhomme plays another lousy game with those kinds of turnovers, look for John Fox's career with the Panthers to be over," he said during Fox NFL Sunday.

"Bill Cowher desperately wants to get back in the NFL. Cowher will go down to Carolina."

Cowher told USA TODAY in August that he was happy working as a TV analyst for CBS and considered his coaching prospects "year-to-year."

Fellow Fox analyst Jimmy Johnson said the Panthers' season could go downhill quickly if Delhomme struggles. They did not add a viable quarterback in the offseason after giving Delhomme, 34, a five-year contract extension.

"John Fox better hope that Delhomme is back," Johnson said. "He's got no other option. They signed A.J Feeley - he's a journeyman backup that can't play so he has to live and die with Delhomme." -- Sean Leahy

old news and IMO, I wouldn't want Cowher. Took him 15 years to get a SB. IS that what you want or do you want someone that wers his emotions on his sleeve?

I really wish we could have brought Dom Capers back as DC and switched back to a 3-4 like we had with Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon. Salt and Pepper!!!!

Bradshaw said it on the pregame show Sunday. Then jerome Bettis echoed it. both men know him, and know he wants to come back. he keeps saying "if the time was right." "50-50". Every knows he wants to coach in charlotte rather than anywhere else, because he lives in Raliegh and wants to be near his family, its logical. Personally, that is the only reason i would hope we don't make the playoffs. i think the Fox era has run its course.

i understand all that fox has done, but sometimes it is time to move on. Its time. of course we will all be lovey dovey if we win Monday Night. but in the back of our heads, we will pounce on him again after we lose. Odds are against us, nothing matters, I have no point. Screw it!!! go ahead and bash me for my idiotic ranting.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
