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.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By t96 · Posted

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
