if you look at the john fox contract situation, i think it is in his best interest to leave this year. look at it this way

if john fox stays next year and does just OK or we are one and done in the playoffs. , he probably wont be extended. with the possibility of a lockout in 2011, he may be off for a year w/o pay and no possible contract for the future. no idea where he could go.

or he could take us to the superbowl and get a major extension. But even that is a 1/32 chance. not good odds.

as we all know fox is a conservative coach. he doesnt take a lot of risks. so why would he risk it all on year not knowing what will happen, when he could look for a long term deal somewhere else and have security for him and more importantly his family for the next couple of years?

Thats why i think it is in his best interest to look for a deal with maybe cleveland or buffalo if possible.

As I have said and is in my sig, This is a make or break season for Fox. Win the Superbowl stay on as coach. Get there and lose.....gone. With a possible lock out in 2011, this is smat business on JRs part and Fox can't really blame him for doing it this way, especially after the way the 2009 season played out.

john fox isnt leaving this year. give it up people......give it up.

i am not saying he will leave. i am just saying that it is in HIS best interest to leave. not for fans or money but his best interests.

does anyone know of any other times a coach has played out his contract to the end in the last 10-15 years or so? just curious.

Why does everyone think that coaches still get paid in the event of a lockout? I don't think this is correct.. players and coaches do not get paid in the event of a lockout.. so it doesn't matter if Fox has a contract in place for that year or not.

Most coaches contracts are guaranteed so they do get paid regardless. many player's contracts only have some parts guaranteed. So yeah it does matter.

Exactly. Plus Fox doesn't think like the OP proposed. He isn't hedging his bets. He expects to do well next year and go deep in the playoffs. Any coach worth their salt has to think that way.

every coach should think that way (except the rams). fox probably thought that way this year, but looked what happened. bad personnel decisions and other factors made this a bad season.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
