Has Fox wore out his welcome???

I watched the Cards game. I don't remember Fox getting mad about the fact that neither our offensive or defensive gameplan was working. Seems to me that if the person in charge didn't like what he saw, he'd have said something. Maybe Davidson and Trgo were doing what they were told.

It's tough because I really like John Fox. He worked a miracle in 2003 and I think some of us owe it to him to keep him around.

However,(In a Stephen A. Smith Voice) I look at what happened with us last year and I look at what happened to the Patriots this year. Last year we lost Jake and I honestly think there were guys on the team that mailed it in. You look at the Pats losing their number 1 player, the MVP and so called best QB ever and they take a guy who hadn't started since high school and still win 11 games.

This team has a lot of talent and after the loss the the Cards I thought to myself hey stuff happens but the more I think about it there does need to be a change. I mean look at the absolute gold mine the Steelers fell into. I swear Mike Tomlin could talk me into suiting up a running through a brick wall. I think John Fox has lost the killer instinct he had when he arrived. I don't know if Fox needs to go the more I think about it maybe Cowher would light a fire under these guys but regardless we need a new DC. I mean Cowher went to Championship games with Kordell Stewart and Neil O' Donell. I mean Kordell and Jonathan are brothers...

It would suck. Unnecessary turmoil within the team could certainly wreck the fine players we have. Also, what would we expect of a new coach? If we told any prospects that hey, you better lead this team to a better record than 12-4 and then go deep in the playoffs your first year, they'd all run for the exit.

I honestly like Fox as a coach, but my trust IN HIM and my Faith in his ability to do whats right for this team in dissapearing.

I dont need a coach who air the laundry out to the media, but in a business where the fans pay the way it would be nice to understand the direction the team is going.

I am just tired with his pridefull "it is what it is, I will do it my way, they practice too" mentality.

It sounds crazy after a 12-4 season, but Its always the same arguements for and against Fox.

I will give him 1 more season, if he cant string together at least another winning season he has to go IMO.

We have way too much talent.

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
