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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
