Evidence of coaching changes on the way ?

2009 might be Fox's last stand.

His contract runs out in 2010, right?

Usually all their assistants and position coaches have multi-year contracts. one of them have one now. In fact Fox is the only who has a contract right now, I think. Many of their coaches have been told they can feel free to look elsewhere. The rest have been told they are going to be offered one year extensions.

Anyway....with there seeming to be no promise of a future for any coach on the panthers right now beyond this year it seems to me that this is a do or die year for the staff. If they can't pull it off (whatever that means... Superbowl?) then I expect The Chin to take over.

I have a feeling that this is going to be crunch time for the coaching staff. They have to make 2009 a huge year or they are gone.

I'm cool either way.

I don't like the one-year extension ultimatum. If you are going to fire someone then just fire them and move on. This team has a lot of talent and they need stability in the coaching staff. We have already had an ultimatum year with Fox and yeah we had a good regular season but we choked in the postseason because he knew his job was essentially safe for being there. Just fire the guy....bring in one of the MANY coaches that would want to coach this group of players. We have been built into a contender with our OL, young leadership, and running game now we just need someone to lead us...

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By Icege · Posted

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
