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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
