What really Grinds my Gears..

[Sword]

The repeated mention of Fox being a 'lame-duck coach'...he's getting 6 million next year and his team from what it looked like was still playing for him...Players play with one year on their contract all the time..why can't a coach for peaks sake!

It's a common industry term that isn't exclusive to Fox at all.

I'd rep you for using "peaks sake," but apparently I've got to spread it around a bit.

In 2010, every coach and every player is a "lame duck" with the looming strike to a certain extent. Lots of coaches that have contracts through the strike have pay reduction clauses in their contracts in the event of a strike anyway. If there is no A-list NFL football in 2011, I predict that many coaches and players who are under contract and not considered "lame ducks" will also find themselves unemployed in the aftermath of a strike. The ownership of all 32 teams will consider it an opportunity correct poor decisions made in the past, at least on some level. This lame duck stuff is just the goldfish (espn) reporting to the butterflies (omg! his contract expires! watrwegunnado?!).

It's the offseason (for us). Coaches and players have contract issues. They resolve them or not. If Fox stays with his current contract, the upcoming labor issues for all coaches and players will mitigate the Holmgren Effect. Everyone that has any kind of leverage has been scrambling for some job security in the upcoming labor issues. Personally, I think the team has made its stand on the Fox issue and all that's left is for him to quit or not. I think he stays with this being one of the smallest obstacles for the 2010 season. Had Fox made the playoffs, it might have been different.

Origin

The description of 'lame duck' is often applied to politicians who are known to be in their final term of office, when colleagues and electors look toward a successor. It is also sometimes used to describe office-holders who have lost an election but have not yet left office.
