Just curious...has Foxy ever said  that he  learned  from  his mistake(s)...or that he ever made one?

 

It is what it is?  He picked a bad day to have a bad day.

Or some other word salad nonsense he would trot out on Mondays.  

Oh, did he admit mistakes?  Ummm, no.  Not one that I recall.

The fact that a 2x Coach of the Year here, barely has one positive comment in this entire thread says a lot about this fan base to me.

Or perhaps it's because they're responses to the specific topic noting that we saw him repeatedly not 'learn from his mistakes' for nearly a decade despite these comments now, and it ultimately cost him his job. 

All the best to Ron in Washington, and if this was a thread about his players gushing about him comments would probably include some affirmation. Talk is cheap though and 'Riverboat Ron' has a lot to show at this point to support such a statement.

Well the harsh reality is those coach of the year honors happened well before the decline of the team under his watch. The decline that saw the Panthers tumble down into the cellar of the division. Now mind you not all of that was his fault but he was the head coach and in control of the roster and was the lead guy on game days. Does that mean he is deserving of hate directed his way? Absolutely not. But until the team sees more consistent success with a new regime fans will look back in disbelief that we could have squandered so much potential so quickly.

The fact that he only had 3 winning seasons out of 9 says a lot about him.

Ron's strengths are very strong...it's just that his weakness are as well, and they undermine his good attributes to such an extent that it prevents him from reaching greatness as a coach imho.

No matter what he does or where he goes, he's always got one foot pushing on the brake.

Ron's peak was as a DC. That was the perfect job for him.

yeah let's hate on the guy who was arguably the best coach in our history. you can argue Hurney was our downfall b/c of course. same could fall on Fox.

Best coach in our history. But the bar is pretty low. 

Again, 3 winning seasons out of 9. That's not something to be proud of. It's something to get better than.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
