Coach John Fox shifts blame to Panthers' 'personnel people'

[mj4life]

I would think he's gone, right behind foxy. I don't see a scenario where he stays, even as a cap specialist. We need some fresh blood

hate to hurt your feelings but Hurney been here alot longer than fox & he is doing exactly what his owner wants him to do, therefore i doubt he goes anywhere anytime soon

Yea. He survived the 1-15 season, but if you're looking for a scapegoat, Hurney will be my 1st bet. Even though he's the owner's puppet, i see him getting cut.

If he don't get fired, I wouldn't be surprised either.

hurney didn't make any personnel decisions during the seifert era(seifert had complete authority over the roster) up until this season Fox had more control over the roster than Hurney. Hurney is more of a adminstrator & shares control with the head coach.

from what I saw in todays presser, all the "cheapshots" at the management were denied by Fox.

So, if he was lashing out at the boss.......... - now he totally looks like he's just trying to shift blame away from himself and his coaching.

No need for sympathy

He must have a guaranteed contract to risk losing $400K/game checks.

Yes. It's guaranteed.

Fox won't be fired by JR because it would cost money to fire him/hire replacement.

True at the beginning of the year, but not any longer.

If Fox were fired, one of the coaches already on the payroll (Davidson, Meeks, maybe Skipper) would become the interim head coach, and they're already on the payroll.

Fox is right. Atleast he's expressing his true thoughts.
