How good of a coach is Fox really....


Snake

Recommended Posts

Fox is an average coach, who's been living off of the Jerry's image to keep his Football team a low risk-mediocre reward football club.

Whenever his coaching has been challenged, the fanbase savagely defends it with his (1) Superbowl appearance. He's stubborn, too nice, and to soft to lead a team full of high-risk players (sans Smith)

Jerry's will to make this team a good, southern, and humble Football team fits almost perfectly well with John Fox's philosophy, but the trick is that he's been found.

And he is not willing to change his philosophy until his time is up.

I think he's a pretty good coach-- not top 5 but I think the league will show that he's well respected when he gets picked up quickly when he's done here.

That being said, it's probably time for a change. The days of 20 yr head coaches like Landry are long gone. Sometimes a change for change sake is a good thing. A little shakeup, new viewpoints, ideas.... good for the players to hear a different voice, good for the fans, good for the organization in general.

So we'll see. He won't be fired during the season so until all this happens he's still "my coach".

I have seen so many its JR's or Fox/Davidson's fault threads on this board the last couple of weeks but I hate to break it to you but its failure across the board. Hurney has made some bone headed moves the last couple of seasons (Gregory has saved his a$$) Pep and Jake are just the biggest. Fox is the poster boy for bad depth decisions and JR has turned into a self-absorbed cheap prick (at least it appears that way).

I really can't tell you how fed up with this team I am getting. Its like no matter what happens we always end up being mediocre year in and year out. How long have we been trying to locate a #2 WR to no avail? How long is our playoff win drought going to continue? How long do we have to watch the same exact gameplan be played over and over ever week with no change in result? Why is it our QB's are always the most inconsistent in the league?

I say its a big top to bottom FAIL!!

Fox really made a name for himself when he his defense at the NYG shut out the Vikings (A high powered offense) that one year. It was something like 41 - 0. Other than that, he hasnt done much.

If you look at his career and follow his defensive rankings for the team he coached (as a DC), they are just like Janglers graph.. Rather flat!

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
