After discussing other things today and remembering Dan Morgan's take on Coach Fox, this is an interesting contrast...

From his twitter, and he didn't seem to hold back...

http://twitter.com/ChrisHarrisNFL

@daringantt What happened to Matt Moore n Dan Conner

Yikes RT @daringantt: @ChrisHarrisNFL Matt tore R labrum when driven into ground yesterday. Connor has a cracked bone in hip.

Doubt it RT @SKIUMAH7 Given the truly pathetic state of the team can't see Fox pulling many offers. May have to go the coordinator route.

@davidmx9 He's a great coach n management didn't give him a chance by cuttin all of his veteran players.He didn't hand pick that team he has

@davidmx9 @daringantt Fox is a defensive coach so he doesn't call offensive plays n the def has been consistent for the most part

@davidmx9 @daringantt In my opinion I think head coaches take to much of the blame when things go wrong they aren't the ones playing

@davidmx9 @daringantt and some point players have to be held accountable. The coach isn't making one block,tackle,or attempting any pass

@davidmx9 once again what is it u want him to do? Catch a pass,or maybe make a tackle,or block for the RB's or better yet throw a TD pass?

@davidmx9 It doesn't matter who the coach was this year for them I think u would get the same results. If u cut half of ur team n replace them with rookies. How many games do u really expect to win

@davidmx9 Yes but if ur players aren't getting it done doesn't mean u aren't teaching. The ave age on the team is like 25. Basically rookies

@davidmx9 Yes. So u think the coaching staff is just sitting around not utilizing any of that. Its not the coaches fault if a pass is dropped

@davidmx9 its not a coaches fault if a pass is intercepted, its not a coaches fault if a tackle is missed. Its not a coaches fault if u miss

@davidmx9 a block. Its not the coaches fault if u get beat n man to man coverage. Its not the coaches fault if u fumble. I can keep going

@davidmx9 at end of day management wanted to save money n go cheaper as a result this is what u get. Don't blame Fox. He didn't do it

@davidmx9 yes it is. There have been a bad play call a misuse of clock a bad challenge..etc but he can't prevent a bad decision by a QB, a

@davidmx9 a missed block or a missed tackle or physically getting beat by the man across from u

@davidmx9 I'm a vanilla guy myself

@davidmx9 I would b too he's a great coach. I would play for him any day of the week (this in response to david saying he doesn't understand why people around the league are so high on him)

@davidmx9 Yes I'm still a Bobcats fan

Chris Harris is awesome. Glad to see he still keeps up with us, is a Bobcats fan, and good to hear his perspective on what's going on here.

Although I really don't know how the vets we let go affected us that badly. Perhaps setting an example is more important than we realize in the locker room.

How do we know that? How do we know that it wasn't Foxy himself? Just askin.

LOL, we don't but that would be an interesting set up and self-promotion by Foxy.

I think the guy's name is David Rojas, but I don't know what position he holds for Chris to go back and forth that long with him. Chris has always seemed like a humble and fairly accessible guy though, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's just a regular fan.

More:

@daringantt I beg to differ Jerry Richardson is the CEO n Fox is more like the COO or upper management.

@daringantt so therefore u have to address the CEO

And I'll add his twitter link in the original post, might be easier for everybody...

I follow Chris on Twitter. It is him.

Yeah and to backup Dimbee, and Chris, it's a verified account on Twitter, so Twitter knows it's him. He stays in touch with Darin and frequently tweets with him about how he's doing and what's going on here... Cool guy.

I still think fox is a dumbass. This season for the most part, wasn't on him. But hes made his share of eff ups as HC prior to this season.

I've called him a dumbass in the heat of the moment, but I think when not on a Sunday that we just played a game, I'd say he's an average to good coach. He's a great motivator and most players love him. It just may be possible that he wore out his welcome here regardless.

But, I definitely agree, I don't think this season had much to do with him at all and it actually makes me feel bad for him.

EDIT: And he does have his flaws, but I think I will miss him once he's gone for some reason.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
