For the last time: This thread is about setting Fox up for success. Setting the fans up for an extension of Fox. No where in the post have I said that rRichardson is setting Fox up to fire him. To the contrary

Damn! You guys need to read before you draw conclusions. I expect more from some of you guys.

You assume I was responding to you. There's been other speculation in this thread.

For the record, I'm not that big on conspiracy theories in general. In my experience, the simple explanation turns out to be the correct one more often than not.

Pardon me if I assumed in error, though I have really been the only one speculating in the thread so far. Some seem to agree with me in reference to Fox's exension, while others have outright said they believe he's gone, save for a miracle season.

I am not big on conspiracy theories either, though I don't think that this thread is about conspiracy theories. It's more about Richardson's loyalty, practicality and fundamental belief in Fox, regardless of what the fans and the media say.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox is locked up before the end of the season if we have a winning season. But, that's just me.

I could only see that if it's 1) a dominant season, not just a winning one and 2) we win at least the first playoff game in convincing fashion. Not sure I see either of those two conditions happening.

Fox technically had a "winning" season two years ago, but it ended in disaster. I don't think duplicating that performance would be good enough.

I take it at face value. Jerry Richardson - and Danny Morrison - are giving him a year to prove he's worth keeping.

I don't know if anyone has brought it up but this all makes a lot of business-sense. Problems with CBA, lame duck coach, spending too much, etc... Jerry is setting this Franchise up to look very pretty on the other side of this. Think about it. Lots of cap space, young talented team, decent atmosphere. Every coaches dream when entering a new coaching job. Every managers dream when entering a new management position. The panthers will get any coach/gm/players they want. We might even have some success before then as well.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
