Even with Jon Gruden committing another year to TV, there’s a rock-star list of available Super Bowl-winning head coaching candidates on the market: Mike Shanahan, Mike Holmgren, Bill Cowher, Brian Billick.

There’s not as many anticipated openings as the record 11 in 2009, making it unlikely Fox would immediately get scooped up for another head-coaching gig. He loved his time in New York — co-owner John Mara is a big fan — and although he has no ties to Coughlin, it is known that Coughlin respects Fox as a defensive mind.

makes sense to me. i've been saying the same thing about him finding another HC job after leaving here (not very likely to happen) so this makes a lot of sense. giants could be his next HC job if he is able to get back his old magic and coughlin retires.

i don't care either way. i'll just be happy to move forward here.

People go back to their roots often, but i doubt Fox would take a backseat job after being head honcho for 8 years...
lots of former HCs do it and fox might not have another choice unless he wants to HC college football or get into media somehow.

the market isn't going to be very favorable to him.

but there aren't enough jobs out there for Foxy to find a perfect fit. Most coaches when fired go to be coordinators again or take TV jobs for a bit.......Fox definately ain't a TV guy.

If Fox gets fired he sits out for a year, at least. I can't see him succeeding at a top level college with no recruiting background to speak of, Notre Dame will not be sniffing that's for sure. Also, typically fired HC's still collect on their contracts UNLESS they take another position. So, anyone hiring him as DC would have to pay him as a HC for him to even break even.

I think Richardson is making a mistake if he fires Fox.

Were a quarterback away from a great team and even Fox knows it.

Some of think the opposite..... I think Richardson is making a mistake if he DOESNT fire Fox. It is time for him to move on and for this franchise to move forward. Including this season the Panthers have had only 3 winning seasons the past 7.

Plus if this team is only a QB away then how do you expect a Fox/Hurney combo who have only drafted 1 QB the past 7 years, plus they saw what happened when Jake got hurt 3 seasons ago yet here we are again with no other options - if this team is a QB away what confidence do you have Fox can solve that problem when he has failed miserable already to do so??

Firing Fox would be a mistake. He is a good coach and I am pretty sure won more NFC games in the last 8 years than maybe any other team (not sure about that but probably up there). Yeah he needs to unhook from Delhomme and get a real OC but if it were me I wouldn't fire him.

      https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/dont-hold-your-breath-gronkowski-says-he-approaches-seam-routes-with-no-fear/381799/?amp=1   Yeah, here is Brady, Gronk and the prime Patriots discussing the dangers and risk TE/slots face with seam routes.   you way too smart to be defending some of this bro  How did Renfrow get the rib injury and why wasn’t that classified a drop.  Go check the game day thread.  Entire board could ID that obvious one in real time.

      Injury report

      Hospital balls are hospital balls.  I mean, someone just posted a NFL QB (who is pro Bryce) breaking down that exact throw where Bryce threw him into the S hit.  It was a hospital ball….and now Renfow got the rib injury to go along with it.   the Bryce defending is just on a complete different planet at this point.

      Man that was a QUICK pivot from being a victim and complaining about alleged insults to calling people shitheads and bitchy and going on an awkward tangent about sexual tension. I'll let this just speak for itself and let the mods sort it out.
