Know Your Wade Replacements: John Fox

Excerpts copied from the Observer blog:

Credentials: If Jerry Jones is looking for someone who can run the defense as competently as Wade Phillips did, but without all of Wade’s glaring faults as a leader, John Fox makes perfect sense.

Weaknesses: You know managers who get pilloried for leaving a gassed pitcher in a game for way too long? Well, take that pitcher, make him a QB, and instead of leaving him in for too many innings, have him stay out there for entire games and seasons past his expiration date. That’s what John Fox did with Jake Delhomme.

What is Fox's record against Dallas?

Don't know the numbers, but from memory I know he's tended to lose to them in the regular season but beat them in the playoffs (when they get there).

I have to wonder how he'd do going from a tightly controlled environment to one where the inmates run the asylum.

yeah, i saw that yesterday. made me laugh.

i can see i happening for a couple reasons but i could see it not happening for a few more.

reasons it could happen:

1) fox makes jerry look young....or at least not so old. jerrah will hire a grey haired, low key personality that, when standing next to or compared to jerrah will make him look a bit more energetic and vigorous. sounds silly but look at him and his personality and the guys that he has had previously.

2) jerrah wants a yes man or a company man. that would be fox as long as he has a contract.

3) there is less youth on that team and i get the feeling that fox is tired of working with kids.

4) relatively well known name. he's going to want someone the fans know but who isn't going to want too much control over the team.

5) jerrah is the face of the franchise. fox is more than happy letting someone else do that.

6) fox has gotten to the playoffs and won more playoff games a whole lot more in his 9 years here than the cowboys have since the panthers started.

reasons it probably won't happen, or at least why it wouldn't work:

1) jerrah wants an aggressive team on both sides of the ball. can you really see that happening with fox?

2) jerrah might want to go with an offensive minded coach considering the problems on offense they have had this year.

3) you take an overrated talented but underachieving team and give it a coach who has as his goal to pull off three wins out of four and plays not to lose and you have the same results as the cowboys has had for years only they might be able to pull off more than one playoff game in 15 years.

4) fox doesn't like working with spoiled rotten players and he doesn't like a lot of flash. that's exactly the type of players that jerrah is drawn to.

From what I can tell, we're 3-4 against Dallas from the 2002 season to present. This includes a 1-3 out of the last 4 meetings. If Jerry hires a coach who can't even beat the current one, that would just throw some more fail on top of the stinking pile that he has turned the Cowboys into. This is my new fantasty to which I will pleasure myself.

if people actually paid attention to the panthers john fox wouldn't be so highly regarded

he gave us 4 good years which i would say made him a top 10 coach then (2002-2005), but since then his teams have consistently underperformed and seasons have ended saturated in a cesspool of excuses and cop outs repeatedly. Even 2008 the team shouldn't have gotten dominated in the playoffs like they did.

FOx would be a good fit for Dallas, he isn't a strong personality and would be a good soldier. With Jerry's willingness to spend money and buy talent Fox would build a contender. I am sure he would be fine with a 3-4 if that is what Jerry wanted, It isn't as if he doesn't know how to run one or couldn't find someone who could. He might not be Jerry's choice but there isn't a strong reason he couldn't do it.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Jalen Ramsey

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.
