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.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
