I don't think Fox has any intentions of leaving next year

After investing draft picks in project players like Clausen and Edwards it seems to me that he plans on being here in the future. Otherwise we would have stuck to to the all in theory and kept a few vets around to try and win now. So if Fox is indeed gone after the season I just can't see it being by his choice.

It was and is not Fox's decision on who to keep around. Many of these moves came from the top.

This.

Fox was handed the 2010 draft picks and told "Do what you can with these guys."

I don't think Fox would draft a guy like Armanti Edwards.

I just can't buy into the theory that Fox had no input, plus he looked awfully giddy after we got Clausen and Edwards.

watch the post trade press conference. marty had to do most of the talking, probably cause they were mostly his picks. no one is planning or thinking about next year, they are thinking about now!!!

i don't mind fox staying...but when even panther beat writers are open to saying he won't be back and it's a mutual agreement I think it will take some major moolah and personnel control to keep him here...which is why we will probably bring in an unknown who won't want full control next year.

Fox is a good football coach. Which means he knows he still has to do a job to do even if he knows he isn't coming back. JR made it known the direction the Panthers were headed in......all the offseason moves and draft picks play into that movement. One season is going to make or break Fox. Carolina opting to let Fox seek employment this past offseason and his lack of a contract offer are proof this relationship is over. Hurney imo has the door open for him if he doesn't want to tie himself to Fox.

I have called for Fox's head more than a few times, so I personally dont care if he stays.

So if Fox didn't agree with the cuts, then was told you have no input on the draft but your welcome to stay for one more year but after that your gone, why would he stay?

If Fox didn't agree with the moves or condone them then that would mean he thinks the roster got worse. So they have stripped him of his personnel powers but at the same time expect him to have full control and leadersip of this team anyway? If the media knows Fox is on his way out, then certainly the players do and that can't be good for his control and ability to rally this team. Just does not make sense to me.

Personally I think we did alot of addition by subtraction. I love the open battles we have now where the best man will win the job. I think this team is heading in the right direction but nobody's foolish enough to think we are going to be a bonafide contender this year. I'm not counting us out either, because it''ll be midseason before we really know what we have.

So heres a few ways this year could play out.

Make the playoffs-If this happens we still part ways?

Fall way short of making the playoffs...If this happens Fox hurt his stock or his resume for the next year

End up 8-8...pie

All the media seem to think it is a given that Fox will be history after the 2010 season.

It is bitter/sweet with me,while one side of me would hate to see him go,the other side feels it may be time to head the team in a different direction.

Would the different direction be a blessing,or a curse? I suppose only the future would hold the answer to that question.

1. Morrison and Hurney control the draft, not Fox.

2. There will be no next year- Richardson-led owners of NFL teams will lockout players until they cave for an owner-friendly CBA.

3. Fox has no choice because he has no contract next year.

1.Do Morrison and Hurney control the depth chart too?

2.Trying to predict whether or not there will be a lockout next year is not easy from a casual fan standpoint

3.A Man always has a choice and If I were told that I no longer had input on the guys I was coaching and on top of that this is my last year...I would have left already

Seeing as how he's never had back to back winning seasons, and never won it all, it technically can't be a curse because that means you think we can't hire anyone to do the same or better. Sure, we could make a bad hire, but it's not like we'd be sending the best coach in history away. Lots of coaches make the Playoffs. I think we can easily hire someone that can't have back to back winning seaons and make the Playoffs every now and then pretty damn easily.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
