Fox will have a Lame Duck Season in 2010

[Jangler]

The Panthers are not going to have a lame duck coach next season. They are either going to extend Fox or let him go. I cant recall a team ever being successful with a lame duck coach. This causes a dilemma for me. I still want a coaching change. Despite this late season surge I am still tired of Fox's style. Plus for me its a little to late; 3 winning seasons out of 7 (counting this one) is not knocking the ball out of the park. I am impressed how the team has not quit on him.

Bottom line is if the choice is some cooridinator who has never been a HC before I would rather Fox returns. I am not on the Cowher bandwagon but think based on his record in Pittsburg would be an upgrade from Fox.

It is going to be interesting...

As I said in another thread...

That respect will be the only thing that saves his job. And 2010 will be a Superbowl win or bust for Fox and any future of him being the coach after...

Fox does not deserve another contract yet. He seems to do his best when he is under pressure. So if JR tells him Superbowl win or you're gone...That is why I think we are going to have a great season next year. As long as Jake preferably is not on the team anyMoore.....<---get it...anyMoore...

yeah. ok. we will have a much softer schedule next year. but those idiots FOX & HURNEY will want Dellhomme. Im beginning to wonder if all this drama is all Richardsons fault.

It all starts at the top.

There is really no such thing as a soft schedule in the NFL.

Fox still should be gone, he ruined this season by keeping Jake in there.

I mean he repeatedly stated how one of the worst QB's in the league gave us the best chance to win. Man doesn't even know his own team, just look at Moore now.

How long before we suffer from a huge sore thumb at another position that he doesn't know how to properly evaluate.(such as FS for example)

Baby Jesus, please make JR see the light.

Is this setting up to have the best season ever for the Panthers? I think so. As long as Jake is not the starter and we can find a legitimate #2 WR in the draft or in the FA periods ( I almost typed FAP ) I really believe we are on the verge of a great season.

God I hope so....

Here's your koolaid.

My question is this, is Fox and Hurney back next season?

Based on them having one year left on their contract next year, it's possible & then JR might get someone else after next season is over. This better lit a fire on their ass to start making the team aggressive more than ever if they return. It better be like when Coughlin was in danger of being fired a year before the Giants went to the Superbowl & win it.
