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!

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
