Carolina Panthers Coach Fox: 'I see myself being back'

Recommended Posts

(By Charles Chandler, Inside the Panthers) Panthers coach John Fox indicated he will return to the team next season in an interview aired last night on the weekly Panther Talk radio show on WBT (1110 AM).p/Team play-by-play announcer Mick Mixon taped the interview before the show, asking Fox about his future, referring to Fox's comments the previous day after a win over New Orleans in which Fox was noncommittal about his plans and wouldn't say whether he wanted to return to the team for 2010.

A caller to this morning's Mac Attack stated that that the NFL Network is reporting that John Fox's agent has stated that "Fox will not be back without an extension".

I can not verify this, but I'm passing it along in hopes that someone else can corroborate it.

Is it really that bad?

Some of you make it out like the team accomplished nothing in the past couple of games.

To me it is...I truly believe that Jake will be the starter going into next season if Fox is back...then it will truly be that bad for everyone! Do you wanna take that chance?

Would we have done so with Delhomme at the helm? And that begs the question: would Fox have ever put Moore in had Delhomme not been injured?

I actually think bringing Fox back is probably a good thing -- but I'm just playing Devil's advocate here.

I haven't seen anything on the NFL Network that corresponds with the caller's reporting. I have seen on the NFL.com where IF John Fox somehow gets out of his contract that the Browns will be the place he will go and it looks as if Holmgren will bring in Zorn and Sherman Smith as assistants.

"I don't have a lot of answers at this point other than I have a year remaining on my contract. I see myself being back here a year from now. That's just the way it is."

God man how do you go through life just saying everything is just the way it is on everything. I can't tell if Fox WANTS to be here or is staying because he has no options. The man acts stoic, like a machine....

Either way Fox is a good coach and I don't care if he is back. That means Meeks is back, and there is some consistency. This is also the last chance Fox has to do something so I doubt he comes back with Jake. I think in 2011 the Panther will be a very good team with Fox as HC. Our defense will be tough and as long as we get a #2 receiver, keep the backs... panthers will dominate.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
