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...

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
