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

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!

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
