Also forgetting a couple of things...

One, while I believe Fox will get another head coaching job, it's doubtful he'll be a "full control" guy. The GM will make those decisions. Whether Fox has much say in it would be unknown.

Second, any team Fox goes to is going to have established players. Guys that are free agents for the Panthers may not fill a need for another team.

Lots of variables in play here.

Good points. Kirwan mentioned it on his radio show this afternoon making me think, so I posted the question.

There will be change and other than the coaches we may not like it

Even if fox winds up in a DC position any GM worth his salt takes input from his coaches on personnel. Fox knows our guys better than anyone else.

Valid. It can work both ways though. Sometimes a coach's knowledge of a player leads him to tell the team "stay away from this guy".

Can't honestly name anyone I think that applies to here, but it happens.

I'm not honestly sold on the idea that Fox is going anywhere. He's playing out the big payday year of his contract, it's obvious that there's an effort to build a future team here, and JR wouldn't want to put money on the table until he knows that there will be a reason to even pay a coach for 2011.

Remember, coaches contracts are different from players' contracts and they are afforded guarantees that players wouldn't get. Player strike in 2011? Players don't get paid. Coaches, however, will still receive their contracted pay.

I am.

All indications are that he believes he's worth more than Richardson believes he's worth. Couple that with this season's awful start, and even a big rally to end the year probably isn't enough to keep him here.

And honestly, while I think he's a good coach overall, I do believe that the combo of the panthers and Fox has gone as far as it can. Both sides would likely benefit from a fresh start.

I am starting to think the same, if Fox gets this team to 8-8 or better, I bet JR gives him a new deal.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
