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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
