Would the following be acceptable to you?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Let's say that Fox sticks around another ten years before deciding to retire. (I know, I know, just let me finish.) Let's say that he finishes with the following records in the next ten seasons:

2009: 6-10

2010: 10-6

2011: 9-7 (first round wild card playoff exit)

2013: 5-11

2014: 7-9

2015: 11-5 (NFC Championship Game loss)

2016: 8-8

2017: 7-9

2018: 9-7

2019: 9-7

If you were the owner and you somehow knew without a shadow of a doubt that these would be your yearly finishes for the next ten years with Coach John Fox, would you fire him at the end of this season or would you be satisfied with those finishes?

If he is around another year, then it proves JR is satisfied.

[magnus]

I see what you did there.

No, most fans here wouldn't have been content with him.

[E CaT PanTHer]

i think it's pretty obvious what everyones answer is going to be.

That wasn't my question.

I'm a Panthers fan. Nothing short of a Super Bowl win with Matt Moore as quarterback and Bill Cowher as head coach is acceptable to me.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Sam Mills Fan is not a fan of John Fox.

But it's just a guess and has nothing to do will his other 3000 posts complaining about Fox.

I would stick it out just for 2019. Consecutive winning seasons? What a great time to be a Panthers fan.

*fingers crossed*

On a serious note, I don't know if many owners would be content knowing that their current coach would not take them to a Super Bowl. Isn't that sort of the point of it all?

You must have missed the 2010/2011 prognostications. A 10-6 followed by a 9-7? Hell yeah.

BTW @ Sam Mills Fan: how come no playoff mention in 2010?

And for the original question, that is hardly a cellar dweller record for a decades worth of football. I'll take it, but hope for better.

Wow, totally missed it. Winning seasons before the world (as we know it) ends in 2012? Sign me up!
