Fox losing grip or interest?

Desperate times usually bring out someone's true colors. Weeks ago Fox distanced himself from personnel decisions that were made in the off season. This, was very unlike what we've seen from Fox in the past. Fox has always absorbed or ignored blame, now he's deflecting it.

In his post game comments he remarked:

** “That worked out really well,” coach John Fox said sarcastically. “In hindsight I wish we had done something else.

** “We were in a little bit of a time issue there with no timeouts remaining so you’re a little limited. So we were not able to punch it in from the two inches, or whatever it was.”

So the one time Fox doesn't put his hand into a coordinator's gameplan it was THESE two calls? No, Fox knew what Davidson was calling, I'm sure of it. If he didn't, yeah, he should have.

Exactly, I thought EVERY offensive play has to go thru Foxy, right?

Fox is becoming a cancer to the whole locker room now. If your the Head Coach, then ultimately it all falls on you. Maybe he'd secretly like to Fire Davidson (rightfully so) and does not have that power anymore. While I do appreciate Fox's candor, its not a good idea to throw your other coaches under the bus. It will lead the players to resent those guys and the subsequent trickle down effect get can downright ugly.

From what I hear, this is still Fox's defense. For his players not to be ready for that last run to me, is pathetic. Id say he has grip. Quite frankly I don't see what either side gets from sticking around. We don't get anything out of firing him now, but what do we get out of keeping him?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
