Fox is 3rd best coach in the NFL...

...according to Vic Carucci @ NFL.COM:

Top five coaches

1. Norv Turner, San Diego: He continues to do an outstanding job of keeping the Chargers consistently sharp and unified.

2. Wade Phillips, Dallas: Despite constant media discussion about his job security, all Phillips does is guide his team into the postseason.

3. John Fox, Carolina: Despite constant media discussion about his job security, Fox has the Panthers on the roll. After leading them to a lopsided victory vs. his former team, the Giants, he should have no worries about his future with the Panthers.

4. Bill Belichick, New England: That was a statement victory over Jacksonville, and the statement is that Belichick's team could be very dangerous in the playoffs.

5. Eric Mangini, Cleveland: Maybe he can't do anything to save his job, but leading the Browns to three wins in a row is worthy of recognition.

» The Carolina Panthers' coaching situation is something to watch. It isn't because the Panthers want to dump John Fox, as many in the media have speculated. As I'm hearing it from various NFL sources, it could very well be a case of Fox not wanting to remain with an organization that might not necessarily provide him with the resources to turn things around.

This is more interesting from the article.

He had a resource he was not willing to use.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
