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.

      NFL Free Agency

      With Schoen and Dan Morgan being tight I’d figure we knew this was coming and since he is released, Dan didn’t bite.    But, a quick search says this is at least 80% cap related. They have No cap space and save 8 or 9 million with releasing him.  He has been a captain his entire time there. 145 tackles this year.  They are picking 5th with a new staff and looking at Styles. Hitting that age 30 season and had a disc issue last year (meaning 2024) that did not require surgery.  I haven’t really watched him play but he activated the antennae.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      OK, we are letting our top RB go.  We have Chuba, Etienne, and Brooks.  Imagine a player who could LEGITIMATELY play the slot and back up at RB?  I am sure he'd be a special team player as well.  I noticed him at the combine, and thought, "Here is a late rounder who could stand out as a slot and provide depth at RB. Without further ado....(I know one Huddler who might be able to tell us more about this guy): Navy running back/wide receiver Eli Heidenreich headlined the 2026 NFL Combine for the Midshipmen, running an official 4.44-second 40-yard dash and recording 16 reps on the bench press. Recognized as a versatile, "Swiss army knife" offensive weapon, Heidenreich solidified his draft stock as a potential day three target.    Eli Heidenreich (RB/WR - Navy) 2026 Combine Performance: 6'0" 200 lbs.   40-Yard Dash: 4.44 seconds. 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds. Vertical Jump: 35.5 inches. Broad Jump: 10' 0". Bench Press: 16 Reps. Highlights: Showcased as a premier receiving threat from the backfield, having left Navy as the program's all-time leader in receiving yards (1,994). High character.  Smart.  Maybe, just maybe....
