His problem is and has always been keeping the players focused and hungry when things look good. This is why he never has had 2 consecutive winning seasons. If he could figure that out, he would be a HoF coach.

Problem is, this team needs adversity to succeed. They play down to their competition and lose focus after successful seasons.

i know they respect the man.

i'm very much of the opinion that fox must go but one complaint that i have never levied against him is that he doesn't have the team. i've never said that fox was losing the team.

just remember that these are the same guys who also where die hard jake supporters. they are loyal to a fault.

i have no doubt that if fox were to get fired, they would be a bit upset. they'd get over it, though. they'd get in line behind the new guy because thats what they have to do. thats their job. one thing you would hear repeated over and over is "after all, it's just a business."

their loyalty is admirable. i just don't think it will help them in the long run. it's a culture thing and it's something that can come back and bite them in the butt.

i'm more or less resigned to the idea that he will be back next year. i can only hope that they move forward. move on from jake and find another top WR to help smith out. replace crossman and get some real special teams help.

His players didn't quit on him, But he did quit on his players.

When you play arguably the worst player in the League and say he gives you the best chance at winning? That statement says "Oh well gave em a good try right boys?"

This team is to talented to play so mediocre, yes Fox is the best thing this team has ever had, but in recent years that's been moot with his terrible decisions.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
