How long will Fox last?

Actually in many of my sleepless nights Ive wondered this. It seems lately he has become for vocal about his displeasure of the direction the front office went in during the off season. Fox was handling this classy at first but hasn't been lately. But I say we will shock someone on our remaining schedule, or at least win one against: Seattle, Cleveland, Arizona. Seattle and Arizona both have been choking this season.

Once we get another win Fox will stay, Richardson is not the type of guy who would fire someone during the middle of their shift. He let Seifert stay, and its not like we have someone young who has done well and is a good head coaching candidate. Meeks was passed up for someone who's resume wasn't very impressive in Jim Caldwell in Indianapolis by Tony Dungy.

See how familiar what Richardson says is in regards to this season

dallas had someone they wanted to move up. we don't so we gain nothing by dropping fox mid season. if we wanted to give the job to a coordinator, then there would be reason to make the change. we will bring in a new coach from the outside and he will bring coordinators to run both sides of the ball according to his style. it's likely the head coaching change will remove almost all coaching staff currently with the team.

Hopefully we keep Skipper as RB coach. Everyone else can go IMO.

richardson did make a statement. it may not be what or as much as everyone wanted to hear, but he did apologize.

as for firing fox before the year is up...i just don't see that happening. the only way i could was if richardson thought the next HC might be on staff already. the sense i get is that there is going to be a total house cleaning of the coaching staff after the year. if fox is planning on letting all of them go, why promote one of them to HC at all?

we'll just have to ride this thing out.

I have sleepless nights too, but it sure ain't due to worrying about the Panthers.

Oh its just one of the many thoughts in my head when I cant get my head to stop thinking about random stuff so I can sleep. Usually thinking about football will eventually help me fall to sleep excluding the night before draft, or FA period begins.

that is pretty similar. he could say the exact same thing and it would be exactly what needs to be said (except replace spurrier's name with harbaugh and have it be a good idea).

Wade Phillips is gone. JJ apologized for the product on the field. How long until Fox is unplugged? If we go 1-10 will he still be here? And how long until JR comes out and publicly apologizes?

Discuss.

16 games. Dallas was trying to win a Superbowl.

Richardson knew we wouldn't compete and was fine with Fox being here this last year. Nothing has changed

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
