I don't think Fox's job is safe unless we win at least one playoff game next season. I can't see us going one and done like this season and Fox keeping his job.

There's always the "our season was ruined by injuries" excuse, but I'm not sure that it's going to work again.

That's why I asked about going to the Superbowl. Because I don't think anything less will save him, exspeacialy after his comment on just making the playoffs this year being the goal of the team.

I think he could get canned unless he wins at least one playoff game. I doubt we'll even make the playoffs next year based on his winning season/losing season rotation and the fact that we have to play the AFC and NFC east next year. Plus Cowher and Shannahan will still be out there. Could also come down to who the owner is should somthing happen to Jerry. Anyone heard anything recently about them finding a heart donor for Jerry?

Pretty similar to the 3-1 each quarter comment if you ask me. There's a lot of things I really like about John Fox. But sometimes, with some of the decisions he makes, I wonder how we've managed to win as much as we have with him as head coach.

Oh well, for better or worse, he'll be here next season. That's for sure. Fired for anything short of a Super Bowl appearance? Not so sure about that. Like I said before, another one and done would probably mark the end of John Fox. This is especially true if it happens in the same fashion as this most recent appearance.

Barely losing a championship game by the skin of your teeth is one thing. There's a lot of things that happen on the field that are way out of a coach's hands. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. (See 2003 SB)

Being the #2 seed and getting blown out at home by a team you're supposed to beat...and in your first game after a week's rest.. that's another thing entirely.

No because the fans never get what they want!

At the beginning of this season I don't know anyone that wouldn't have wanted the NFC South championship and with it, a playoff birth.

Granted, it didn't end as we would have liked it, but I know I got at least one thing I wanted... and that's at least half of what Fox and Hurney promised.... a crazy good run game and a stout defense. Now let's get that last one, and we'll be in good shape.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.

      Have to pair them like this for it to work, imo. Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Walker Ghosty - Chatfield    I'd prefer something different but that's probably what we end up with unless Ghost is traded to one of the 17 teams not on his MNTC.
