I am very surprised that nobody made a thread about this already. I heard it on sirius radio today around 4 hours ago and then was away from the computer. SLACKERS!!!

I bet he said the problem was that teams are stacking up against the run cause they don't think Jake can beat them,plus our defense is a shell of it's self from last year...

it is what it is.

<insert player or unit> played good enough to be 1-3, obviously not good enough.

we just need to execute better.

hey, it's the NFL and the other team executed better and they get paid to play the game also.

repeat.

Here is what he basically said:

He was pretty disappointed about what he heard on foxsports.com saying that it was ridiculous. He said he called the writer of the article and said that it was not true and that he would never tell anyone, even his wife that he would be fired. He Also said that the defense is doing better than before due to the fact that the players are starting to get in to the groove of things with the scheme. He said that before the players were in the wrong spots at times during a certain play.

He talked about having Chris Harris and the other injured players back on defense. He said that this week was the first time they had all the injured players back (IR not included).

Hollis Thomas has gotten adjusted to the defense pretty quick and is a smart, big, experienced player.

He said he feels like since he has been here that they haven't gotten a lower record than 7 losses and that not many other coaches could say that.

Mostly the same Foxisms, (We are 1-3 but better than 0-4, There is still a lot of football to play, we just need to get better on Turnovers.)

It was a pretty positive interview and it seemed like John Fox wasn't worried at all about getting fired.

Ps. He did not say It is What it is.

John Fox won't be fired this year and will be here next year, if what Dan Morgan said this morning is true...Morgan said if next year is a lock-out year (dunno bout that) then nobody would make any moves on coaching because coaches money is guaranteed, even if there is no season. Basically would be paying a new coach for nothing, plus paying the buyout money that Jerry'd owe Fox. Wouldn't make sense financially. That all makes sense, but we'll see about the lock-out season next year.

after this interview he seemed way overconfident. I do not think unless this season was a total disaster that Jerry is going to fire him. It changes my view point because knowing that John Fox is still going to be the coach means that the huddle is going to go haywire for another Football season. (I really do not know if I can handle Fire Fox threads when he is not going to get fired)

I listen to Moving the Chains quite a bit and always enjoy the Tuesday interview with Fox. He opens up a bit with Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan. I think it's because Kirwan and Ryan are insiders and unlike our local beat writers, know their 'ball. The only item of note was that Fox pointed to the fact that we're dead last in the NFL in turnover margin; that's obviously on his radar, as it should be. I don't think I've ever heard him say, "it is what it is" on Moving the Chains.

Meh... i wouldn't expect to hear Fox say he was about to be fired on a radio or media outlet... even if he DID say it to his wife/friends/etc. THAT would be stupid.

Fact is, the only person that can answer that question is Jerry Richardson, and he wasn't the one being interviewed. And it's pretty much a historical fact he won't be saying much of anything anyway, especially on a subject like that. It'll just happen one day... BOOM... press release... end of conversation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
