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...

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
