More Fox speculation from nfl.com...Browns possible

On the Sirius Blitz today...they said that Gruden is the man that Holmgren wants....but Guden is not coming back this year. They wondered of he might hold on to Mangini for another year, waiting on Gruden....but doubtful the two (Mangini and Holmgren) could co-exist for that long.

Also....Holmgren is prolly picking the coordinators.

How do we know we are guaranteed to make the playoffs next season?

I know, yet another year of playing a soft schedule and everyone jumping on his band wagon just so we can go 7-9 or 8-8 the year after...we are in a viscous cycle here!

You sort of answered that question yourself (and it was just a joke, by the way ;) ).

I neither want nor believe that would happen but when did they stop it?

Actually doing some research on this now. Herm edwards was traded from the Jets to the Chiefs for a 4th rounder in 2006. Also read the rule was never really for head coaches or GM's. But for Assistants and lower level execs.

Still researching.

The Chiefs gave the Jets a 4th round pick for Edwards in 2006, no?

You are right the Jets did give the Chiefs a 4th round pick which they used to pick Leon Washington. The confusing part is that the trade for a coach was disallowed after Gruden was traded but showed up again with Edwards. I don't know if that was an exception to the rule, set a new precedence, or something else. I have tried to look into it further but haven't gotten a clear answer. Maybe someone else knows.

I'm kind of surprised that more people don't think Fox could be intrigued by the Cleveland position (were it to become available). He'd be set up pretty well with Holmgren running things up there and he could see the "rebuild" as enticing. Whenever someone is shouting their praises of Fox, it always starts with how he took a 1-15 team to the Super Bowl after two years... maybe he's banking on that reputation and thinks he can do it again.

The only thing I seen was the rule was clarified when the Edwards trade happened saying it only effected assitants and lower lever execs. Cant link it because the link was broke.

I agree, he could do as well there as here. It's not like they are used to winning. The playoffs every other year would be a very welcome change. At least for a while.

I don't see him going anywhere. He's a really good coach. If history is any proof we are due for a very good year. We do well one year then we have injuries the next. Seems to be a natural phenomenon.

The whole uncapped year uncertainty is what is keeping Fox from getting his well deserved extension from the Panthers.

We have the inner workings of a Super Bowl team, why change anything now. Lets get a ring first and then let the natural dismantling begin.

We thought that in 2007 too.

You all can say what you want but Fox would be perfect fit in Cleveland. A blue collar town for a blue collar coach. Sure he could have been called Mediocre but of the 3 coaches we have had for this team he is BY FAR the best we ever had.

If he leaves we are taking a gamble. We could get a guy in here that doesn't mesh with our players. We might get some young guy that is over his head. Or worse we could get a chance to get Cowher or some other retread and they cannot work the magic they did where they came from.

IMO we should keep Fox.

Go Panthers

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
