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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
