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.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
