i will coach the panthers

[Carolina Crazy V2]

as long as the turd is gone and fox is not

What does being told to look elsewhere and others only getting 1 year extentions say for Fox's job security?

[Kevin Greene]

It might be difficult if they are only offering prospective new coaches one year deals as well. Lame duck Fox is not good.

Jeff Davidson - Head coach

Herm Edwards - DC

Panthers - contenders for years to come

I've been anxious for news

[JungleCat]

Let it be done.

I guess I should clarify.... I meant to say that I think something will happen, based on Gantt's blog. I have no idea if something is happening or not.

[Munkey]

Hmmmm sounds good.

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...
