John Fox Last Weekend as Coach

[Matt Foley]

Yeah, but he can hand the reins to someone on hand (Meeks) who has a clean slate with the fans, THEN hire someone on the other side of the lockout. His short term concern is empty seats the rest of the year. That's 25,000 times whatever seats cost. That's some casheesh.

Firing a coach mid season and then looking outside the organization for his replacement just doesn't happen.

If Fox is fired after this week then one of the assistants will step in on an interim basis.

That's not counting the money he loses from the game being blacked-out. :/

Another person with anonymous inside sources spreading rumors with no real proof. You should start a website.

Who, the OP? I was just saying it's not as crazy as it sounds. Clearly the Richardson/Fox relationship has seen better days.

You do realize we are trying to cut cost, not add them

Which is why you hand the job to Meeks on an interim basis.

I think the whispering noise you heard was Fiz farting

[Jangler]

The only way this is Fox' last game is if he steps down. And I don't see that happening.

Fox had consistently brought this team back from the brink more times than making them a winner. Not sure if he can do that this year, I mean 7-9 would be a good record. But Fox has proved he is not a quitter, Fox will finish the year as coach.

That still costs more. If you were Meeks would you do it without significantly more money? Same deal with the new DC who gets promoted. They still have to pay Fox either way.

it wouldn't be all that much more. plus meeks would be able to put it on his resume.

if you are looking at empty stands, you won't mind spending a little money to try and get some seats filled again.

Frankly it makes no sense unless JR wants to give one of his coords a trial run as HC.

IT makes ZERO sense to bring someone in now with the lockout looming.

So it makes sense to have a HC that obviously doesn't have a grasp of his team and might be 0-5 next week and his contract ends this year?

There have been whispers that this may be the last game coached by John Fox if the Panthers head to the bye with an 0-5 record. If this is really the last time we are going to see foxy and the last time we can post anything about FIREJOHNFOX or make some lame avatar, I just want to say thanks for the memories old man.

If it turns out that THIS is the weekend where he gets fired, I hope he goes out in style by making the last play of the game a RUN UP THE MIDDLE or a THIRD AND DRAW. That would be the way to go out.

Sorry its early, tired of reading stupid crap about burning jerseys and who sits with me to drink and watch the games...nobody cares.

I'm curious....what drives you to talk out of you ass all the time?

Is it for the attention?

Or do you just not care that you come across not knowing poo?

[pantherclaw]

JR is going to fire fox.

Fox also won't quit in mid season, cause that would hurt his resume worse than not winning a game this season.
