Would the following be acceptable to you?

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?

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.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
