John Fox isnt going anywhere

If Fox would just take care of the quarterback situation, I would be okay with him staying. It's clear he hasn't lost the team.

All this being said, he cost us this season by sticking with Delhomme until he was injured.

Personally, I think that John Fox and Marty Hurney did way too much damage during the offseason and first 8 games of the season to salvage any kind of job security.

If anything, this shows the ineptitude of Fox and Hurney by NOT putting Matt Moore in sooner.

Personally, I'm still not completely sold on Matt Moore. I still think we need to take a look at a guy like Colt McCoy in the 2nd or 3rd round for insurrance purposes (even if it is just to keep him on as a backup).

Bottom line is that if we can get Bill Cowher then we better do it because there is nothing that John Fox brings to the table that Bill Cowher doesn't. You can't let one win cloud your mind. When it comes to coaching it is about a body of work and right now John Fox's body is replaceable.

Hurney wants the Panthers to be more like the Steelers.. that means keeping your Head Coach's for rediculously long periods of time.. I think Fox stays, but not for that reason.. Fox and Hurney are amazing at finding talent in the draft's.. Matt Moore showed an extreme amount of promise last night.. and Fox's track record indicates that next year will be a playoff season. Those things taken into account.. I think the Richardson give's Fox and Hurney their last year on their contract.. more than likely, he will extend them both after they take us to the playoffs next year. Just my prediction.

This week will be a much better judge on Moore. I went to the Vikings board last night and pretty much their views was that the team simply played like crap, we didn't dominate them. But this week we'll be on the road, facing a team that still has Playoff hopes. If Moore can play like he did last night again, well...we may be on to something. Shore up the Run D, draft properl and hell...maybe one more year of Fox wouldn't be too bad.

Theres no way McCoy will be available by the end of the 1st round, much less the 2nd or 3rd.

Actually, McCoy is not a 1st round pick.. 2nd rounder at best.. lack of armstrength. Besides, he doesn't fit the Panthers system. He fits in the westcoast offense perfectly..

FYI...

My closest source to the situation indicates that Fox's fate isn't determined at the present moment... There are people on both sides of the argument within the organization...

The general feeling I get is that there are certain things that factor into the equation, one of which being the results of the final games, another being the status of the NFL CBA talks, and certain other things that are internal player/coach/staff issues (nothing big here, don't read too much into it)...

Personally, if Fox shows a willingness to change certain things (his belief in Delhomme as a primary one), I would love for him to at least finish out his current contract (1 year left)...

He's still regarded as one of the best coaches in the league as far as owner/coaching circles go, and there are players on other teams that would love to play for him... If we were to sever ties with him, it wouldn't be long at all before he landed somewhere else...

Fox is in like Flyn.

If his job was being based off this game alone, I don't think I can be a panthers fan anymore.

Obviously we would need to assess the body of work more focused on this season and the obvious short comings he's made plus a losing season.

Get a real coach in here, k thx.

      RODS gotta GO

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.

      You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
