Too little Too late firing Crossman. April has been nabbed

this is just a typical Henning/Davidson, Trgo/Meeks, type Fox move......slight shuffle to try to direct attention of what is really wrong in Carolina away from the real problem. Like our former #55 said...Foxy has his hand in every single aspect of this team.

You like me and everyone else have been begging for him to be fired. The difference is I am grateful. You are trying to look a gift horse in the mouth and blame Fox even when he does something good.

well, I have been consistant though....regardless of any coaching moves Fox makes I always say it isn't really going to change the problems here.

Crossman sucked. He should have been fired. But like most of the coaches Fox has on staff......imo Fox does a good job of putting everyone in a position where great success is difficult. Crossman had squat to work with this year.......the returners struggle making catches and basic decisions and I don't pin that all on coaching. IMO, if Crossman is given a legit return man he immediately appears miles better than what we saw.

Carolina can bring in an awesome guy......but if they are only giving him a handful of medicore returners than that part of special teams will remain weak.

there are at least 31 other special teams coaches out there who are better.

just because we didn't get the best in the whole universe doesn't mean that we aren't still going to be seeing immediate improvement.

i would have loved to get april but getting rid of crossman was the first major obstacle. it finally happened. i'm just happy about that.

I am with rayzor on this. If Crossman had great numbers up to now and this year was the exception I might agree with you. But he has been bad since he got here. Plus injuries are not Fox's fault. As for him having mediocre (not medicore) guys, i don't think that is true. Every team uses backups and some of our backups for example Anderson, Rosario, Barnidge, etc. did pretty well when they played.

If you look at our special teams we were fundamentally poor. Guys didn't hold their lanes, didn't block well, were out of position, etc. That wasn't skill but practice and attention to detail. If we get a good ST coach in here watch out numbers suddenly get better with essentially the same cast of players.

      Best way to Stream

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
