Except for the Delhomme debacle, Fox has been and is a good coach. I don't care if his conservative style isn't exciting or entertaining for the fans, he does a good job all around, and with Moore at QB he's going to take us to the playoffs next season.

I think that FOX should stay next season and he will. I thought that we could win our last four games and people laughed like hell at me we didn't get all 4 but we got 3. Now I believe that Moore should go into TC No.1 and him and Jake should battle it out. Because even though I dont believe Moore would lose he needs to be challenged if he is gonna keep the job. I don't believe anyone should lose a job to injury. But I don't believe that anyone really wants to see Fox gone at least not next yr.

I think most people on the boards here agree that Fox is a good coach. The fact that other coaches and our own players are so readily defending him shows that he has something going on that may be unmatched by others.

I wouldn't be horrified if we get a HC change, but I worry that the change will disrupt the momentum that has been developed in the past four weeks or so. I think a head coach change will mean a lot of other coaching changes, which means players have to adapt to pretty big changes. Eh, it's worrisome.

Really, the only losses that REALLY piss me off from this year were against the Bills, Saints (1st game), Dolphins, and Jets. Those were winnable damn games.

I want Moore and Fox back for next year with a new WR to help out. That isn't too much to ask for, I think.

the fact that my opinion makes not one iota of difference in the actual outcome of events makes it a little easier to choose.

if fox goes, i will be excited to see who we bring in and watch the changes evolve

if fox stays and starts matt moore, i will be excited to see how upgrades are made to the positions we're weak at

either way i'll be watching on sundays.

If he guarantees Delhomme does not start next year, I have less of a problem with him returning. My problem is that he far too often holds the team back for whatever reason, playing conservative to the extent he does will not win us a SB.

Needs to go! I don't believe he is that great of a coach! I have said it before and I'll say it again...the man has had 3 winning seasons in 8 years...if that's what it takes to be good then :confused:

He has proven to be loyal to a fault with no signs of changing and his record speaks for itself! I believe his winning % is .555?! So someone barely tipping a 500 record, with the talent we have had the last few years, is the gud huh? WOW

12 - 4 team to an 8 - 8 team?! You can blame it on injuries all you like but every team has those. He has failed to put together back to back winning season; in fact if you look at our "winning" year, all three of em, you will see he only wins when we have one of the weakest schedule in football! For instance we will probably have a winning season next year due to the fact our SOS will be in the shi**er

Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade!

Maybe I just expect too much????

He has also had only 3 losing seasons in 8 years and the first of those was a huge improvement over 1-15 and his second one he had 13 starters on IR. The hard schedule, weak schedule issue is really baloney anyway. Look at us. Teams who had us on their schedule this year had a tough schedule due to our 12-4 in 2008. But before we went on our last winning streak we were 4-7. Not exactly a tough out in 2009. Teams with us on their schedule at 8-8 will have an easier schedule in 2010 right? Next year we are likely to be better than we have been in years.

The same goes for a lot of teams.

Never said he didn't do a great job at rebuilding the team but come on, so 3 losing seasons and 2 500 season is A OK with you? I just don't see where he overall body of work makes him a "Great Coach"

And exactly what makes you think we will be better than we have been in years? The fact that we get a great first round pick? oh wait! What about the fact that we still have Jake Delhomme? Hmmmm! Oh I got it...foxball! We all know how successful that is almost every other year!

And as for the schedule thing you proved my point...with our 12 - 4 record LAST year we had a tough schedule THIS year...with an 8 - 8 record THIS year next years schedule will be theoretically easier! Thus we will probably have a winning season like almost every other year we have an "easy" schedule!

Edit:

Next year we are likely to be better than we have been in years.

Just wanted to say, I hear my Raiders fan friend say this EVER FREAKIN YEAR! Do we wanna be THAT team?

The thing that pisses me off most about Fox is that every year that we miss the playoffs we go through these midseason lulls where we lose a bunch of games are are essentially out of it with nothing to play for the last 2 weeks of the season.

His teams go out and under-perform when they have to play well in order to make the playoffs and then when there is nothing on the line they scrape and claw to get back to .500 of close to it so that we don't have a losing season.

If I'm an owner of a team and my team is playing for nothing the last couple weeks of the season then honestly I just don't care. I'm not looking for moral victories, I'm looking for Super bowls. IMO 8-8 and out of the playoffs is no better than 2-14, 5-11, 6-10, 3-13. All of those records are NON-playoff records and that is all that matters.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
