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...

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
