Now more than ever, I'm done with Fox

I'm done with Fox, since the season is basically over anyways - I'd like to see us lose every game from here on out to make it as certain as possible that Fox is gone. I know that sounds terrible, but it's like treating cancer - you have to kill some good cells along with the bad cells to get rid of it once and for all.

You know why we lose? because there is no aggression or accountability on this team. Jake can go out there and play like crap and we just call plays around him instead of benching him. Peppers is a ghost and nobody on the coaching staff gets in his face. Look at Tony Sparano last night, someone makes a mistake and he's all over them. A team takes on the personality of it's coach and that's why we're soft.

I love the Carolina Panthers, which is why I will be rooting for us to lose all our remaining games this year - it's the only way I can be reasonably sure that we'll finally turn the page on Fox and get some energy back into this team. Fox was good for this team when he came on because it needed some TLC after going 1-15. Now we have a decent team that is under performing and needs a big swift kick in the butt and Fox clearly doesn't have that in his bag of tricks.

I like Cowher, but I don't care who we bring in here next year as long as they are aggressive and demand accountability.

to tell you the truth i'm right up there with you man. you basically summed up the exact same way I feel about the situation (save for the accountability part, they all seem to hold themselves accountable, they just aren't doing anything about it).

I'm still going to be cheering for the panthers, but at the same time, I won't cry if they drop every last game this season, because it only means our coach might be gone.

Agreed, it's good that we have character guys like Beason to act as surrogate coaches or this team would be lost.

Just once, just once I wanna see Fox stare someone down as they approach the sideline after doing something stupid, but I know that will never happen - he'll just clap with that constipated look on his face and say "come on guys".

Dolphins are playing with many of the same guys that were on the 1-15 team they had, so what's different? Answer: They got two guys in there (Parcells, Sparano) that will not accept failure. I thought Sparano was gonna kick the TE's ass right there on the sideline after a play where the guy ran the wrong route (didn't flatten out enough). When our guys do that, Fox gives them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Dude, I know you're upset & all, but that is silly to now want our team to lose all games. That not the Panthers fan way. Not cool at all. Beside, even a coach can get fired while they have a good record. Remeber Marty (former San Diego coach, since I don't know how to spell his last name :P) & Dungy (when he was coaching the Bucs)? Again, they has good records & got fired anyway.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
