If Fox leaves...

[Matt Foley]

...so, too, will about a third to a half of this roster. Are you all ready for that?

So long, Hoov. So long, Moose. So long, Pep and Smitty. So long, Diggs and Harris and Kasay.

New coach is going to want his guys, and usher out the expensive guys or guys who are long in the tooth. He'll want to build on Beason, Davis, and Gamble on defense and Gross, Kalil, Otah and the two running backs on offense.

[God]

Sounds like a plan.

[mav1234]

What makes you think Smitty would go anywhere?

The vets may pack it in, just because they're all getting up there in age. But Smitty? He's not THAT old yet... It all depends on who it is and how they approach him.

I'm aware of it, and aware that next season would likely become a rebuilding year and, as such, would suck.

I'm prepared for that.

Smitty and Harris aren't going anywhere.

Kasay, Hoov, and Moose it's time.

Peppers, just get out.

I'm good with that.

[jimbo baggins]

Not Kasay and I agree with the tree rat below me

[Squirrel]

Funny since Smith Hoover and Moose was here before Fox. New coach will evaluate players and keep the ones he wants that is always the way it is but to say over half the squad would be gone I disagree.

[Kevin Greene]

Not Kasay

Unlikely our next coach will carry two place kickers since kasay is incapable of effective kickoffs at this stage in his career. Essentially we go into every game one man down.

so whos his replacement?

and since when is kasay incapable of doing kickoffs

[Brooklyn Bully]

Hoov will retire, hopefully Moose will too, Smitty ain't going nowhere as other have mentioned, Kasay needs to hang them up, Diggs may lose his starting job but I don't know when his contract is up, and Harris will stay through his conract for sure. I don't see all three TEs being here next season though.

Maybe LLoyd Rhys.

And he hasn't been capable for about 2 years now, otherwise one would assume Fox wouldn't waste a roster spot on another kicker.

i anticipate change....lots of it and i don't have a problem with this.

we will likely lose next year more than we will win. it will be acceptable losses, though. in a rebuilding you expect that.

i anticipate a complete change in the coaching staff...especially on offense and special teams. defense may also get yet another overhaul.

there will be player turnover as well as the new coach tries to make it his team.

i fully expect to see these guys gone: hoover, vincent, jake, mccown, moore, moose, jarrett, kasay, lloyd, peppers, lewis, diggs, landon johnson, anderson, kemo,

i wouldn't be surprised to see smith gone and traded for picks. there could be a couple others as well.

some moves will look like shear brilliance. other moves will be head scratchers. some will piss the majority of fans off.

in the end, though, it will be a team that we will like. there will be excitement over it and we'll have another shot at the playoffs in a couple years.

i'd be surprised if the new coach is anything like fox in personality. it will be someone with energy and hype. it will be someone that will have to change the dynamic of the team and get them energized.

camp with the new coach will be fun to watch. give the players time away from this season and all the turmoil and turnover and a new reason for optimism about the future.

yeah, the team will look different and it will take some getting used to but i'm ready for it. it isn't like it hasn't happened before and it's not like 3/4 of the league hasn't gone through this in the past 3 years. it happens when you have an organization that wants to put out a better product than what they have been. it's what happens when you have an organization that wants to win.

i just hope it happens. we'll know soon enough.

fox is pretty stupid though

[PhillyB]

smitty and harris are going nowhere, IMO. those are the kinds of players you can build a franchise around (or at least a run defense, in harris' case.)
