Would Fox jump ship?

With all the doubters and bad press he has received this year and with the Giants in a melt down, what is the chance that J fox will jump ship and head to New Yook to replace a fired Coughlin?

How would you feel about that?

Like Zod said there is no chance that this will happen first off because Coughlin is not the one under fire. That would be Kevin Gilbirde, their Offensive Coordinator and Bill Sheridan, their Defensive Coordinator. Now Fox is a defensive coach so you can scratch him off the list for taking the job of Offensive Coordinator. Fox could get an offer to be their Defensive Coordinator, but why would a head coach who is already happy where he is take a job of less pay. I just don't see it happening.

did you see all the facial ticks and blinking Fox was doing in the opening minutes of the game?

I'm no psychiatrist nor do I play one on internet forums, but the guy is under some sort of mental strain I havent seen him under before.

Was thinking the same thing after watching the Giants' implosion and reading Fox's postgame comments yesterday. I'm sure it's not out of the realm of possibility, with Fox in the last year of his contract and his fondness for the Giants organization. With all of the heat he's taken the past two years here, he may want to go back to being a DC rather than bear the burden that comes with being the HC, especially with all of the high expectations. Coughlin's job may be on the line after the way the way things have ended the past two season for the G-men, and I'm sure Fox would be on the list of candidates to replace him. A lot of speculation to be sure, but stranger things have happened.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.

      If hypothetically, Ickey comes fully healthy, would he be willing to give up left tackle money for left guard money? In the Panthers case, moving Ickey LG or RT would be in our best interest and as it gives us our best starting offensive lineman combination. However, Im sure there's another team that would be desperate and willing to dish out top dollars for Ickey to have him come play left tackle for them. In that case, Ickey would just leave for that team instead.
