The sad part is the next coach probably won't see the playoffs at all and people will be remembering the good old days when Foxy was around.

Well, that is going to happen, I mean he did take us to the Superbowl and another NFC championship game. But the rollycoaster that has been the last 9 years is getting nauseous, and anyways we are pulling up to the loading and unloading deck.

I can't determine if this is sarcasm or stupidity.

I'm talking about his lack of creativity and his "just line up and beat your man" mentality. He doesn't design plays or schemes to free up players etc.

He just runs basic, vanilla, easy to figure out strategies that fool no one.

Fox's style is like trying to fight a modern war using British tactics during the American Revolution. Form a straight line and head straight towards death.

This is true.

As good as he was early on in his tenure for this franchise (the SB run, 2nd NFCC game), some coaches times just run out with an organization. Not trying to compare the coaching ability, but look at Shanahan in Denver. He ended up drying out towards the end of his tenure and people got tired of the shtick.

Will be Fox' 4th the losing season out of 9. Two 8-8s, and 3 playoff seasons. If that isn't the definition of mediocrity, then I don't what is.
