I think Fox is leaving

from national football post

Panthers head coach John Fox is insisting that he’s either given an extension or is fired, but he doesn’t want to come back as a lame duck in 2010. Based on his team’s play the past three weeks, he might have a strong case for an extension.

this might warrant a new thread

bring back mccoy

that's terrible.

But seriously, I know the OP is trying to use a very basically informed position in the past to suggest he knows something now, and that doesn't seem to be the case. Plus, I think a lot of people are clinging onto some sort of hope that Fox will go, when I just don't think that's the case.

I could see that, with the expectation that he'd be next in line for HC if Coughlin retires (or is let go).

I know some NY blogger brought this up but there's really no viability to this. Guy isn't going to go from a $6 mil head coaching job to go back to a DC just because it's the Giants.

I'd be very surprised to see Fox leave. However, if I had to choose between extension or firing, I'd fire the guy. There's no way I'd be ready to extend him right now. If he's not willing to honor the contract that he signed, he can leave.

They're using Fox's ego against him. You fire him you have to pay him $6 mil if he request to resign or go somewhere else the Panthers are off the hook for the money.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jim Skipper as the Head Coach. He's sort of got head coaching experience and is the Assistant Head Coach.

I'd prefer him over Meeks, personally.

      Our Buddy Chase Blackburn Fired

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47371200/sources-rams-fire-special-teams-coordinator-chase-blackburn LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
