Could Fox resign??

It could be a longshot, but I have a feeling to prevent Fox being a lameduck in 2010, JR could politely ask Fox to resign behind the scenes. We all know he will coach somewhere in 2010, and while we have invited him back for next season, it remains to be seen if we will extend him. Just a gut feeling

He could but most coaches know that any extension is unlikely due to the potential lockout in 2011. If they get closer in the labor talks or come to an actual deal then you will see more extensions/negotiations.

Plus I'd be shocked to see Fox walk out on the last year of his contract when he is owed 6.5 million.

So I am gonna go with a "No."

JR would not let him break his contract without compensation from the other team in the form of picks.

Personally, I would be all for it.

I think that would depend on what JR's purpose is. If he allowed Fox to stay because he has a year left on his contract, and doesn't want to pay Fox and another coach, then he might be willing to let Fox go if Fox gets another offer. That would mean he would be free to hire another coach and not have to worry about paying Fox. On the other hand, if he really thinks Fox can win next year, then you might be right.

My thinking is that if Fox leaves, the Panthers are off the hook for his 2010 salary. Nobody wants a lame duck coach. I honestly don't believe Richardson would be so irresponsible as to not have a coach under contract for 2011.

I think Fox would want to go somewhere after this season, get a long-term contract at 5-6 million a season NOW (before a potential poor season as a lame duck coach in 2010), and have stability rather than stay here amid criticism and have an unclear future.

That's my thinking.

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
