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.

      The great Joe Person's Panthers mock draft extravaganza

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      It’s definitely a bit of a crapshoot, but Joe covers the team for a living—there’s a baseline expectation that he should have a deep, working knowledge of the roster, positional groups, and overall team needs. That kind of familiarity should come through in the analysis. At times, though, it feels more like he approaches covering the Panthers as an assignment rather than something he’s genuinely invested in. When you read some of the other beat writers at The Athletic, the contrast stands out. There’s a noticeable difference in how deeply they dive into roster construction, scheme fits, player development, and front office philosophy. Their work often feels more detailed, more nuanced, and more connected to the day-to-day reality of the team. That’s not to say Joe doesn’t provide value, but compared to some of his peers, the level of insight and depth just doesn’t always feel as sharp or as thorough as it could be

      BOLD TAKE: Panthers will draft Jacob Rodriguez @19

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Tony Pauline: https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-sources-giants-heavily-weighing-wr-with-ten-pick-amid-malik-nabers-injury-concerns-david-bailey-a-game-changer-for-robert-saleh/ Surprise Picks In The First Round As we get closer to the draft, the chatter is getting louder about surprise picks in the bottom half of Round 1. So which teams are talked about as pulling shockers right now, just a few days out from the start of the draft? Most I’ve spoken with say keep an eye on picks 20, 21, and 22, presently owned by the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Chargers. I’m told cornerback Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez are in play for the Cowboys with the 20th pick, their second selection in the initial round. Rodriguez is also being spoken about as a possibility for the Buffalo Bills at the 26th pick.

      Who was better Jon Beason or Jrod???, for college prospect terms in their drafts...   I think its clear and Jon was what 25th?   Jarod does have luke-like traits and that was 9th overall.   I feel Jon had him covered tho....
