Interim Head Coach

Recommended Posts

If Fox is fired during the season, which I think isn't too far of a stretch, who will step up as interim head coach?

My guess would be Jim Skipper, one of the longest tenured guys on the coaching staff and to my knowledge, the assistant coach. He's considered one of the best position coaches in the league and might have a slight chance to end up the next head coach for the Panthers (wouldn't hold my breath though)

Some other interim head coaches might be Ron Meeks. I can't see Davidson stepping up to that position. I think Skipper would be it almost no questions asked.

I don't think he's very likely to be fired, but, there is the possibility that Fox resigns. He's a very proud man, and I don't think he's taking too kindly to starting 0-3 for the second straight season.

I think he could resign as well. He's only tarnishing his reputation and losing out on millions if he pilots the Panthers into the ground this year.

So you think he'll quit his job in the middle of the year knowing he will be in the job market again next year?

Honestly? Yeah. I think that he believes that there is a job waiting out there for him now. (Cleveland wants him, and everyone knows of the good standing he has with the Giants Front Office.)

Why not? He's got a lot to gain. He could find himself coaching the Giants who would win a lot of games under a different head coach than the hard-lined Coughlin. That team clearly needs a different kind of coach, but they have loads of talent.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
