With so many of you saying everything is point to Fox (even though he didn't take over the defense). Why the hell not just them hire another coach to assist Fox on defense, and Fox actually run the defense himself?

That way yall could have something to base all this bullshit on.

While I wouldnt mind this option. I think it would be way too much work for Fox to do. I would rather get some young aggressive type coordinator.

fox has been getting more involved the previous years. not sure why. the possibility of fox running the whole thing and trgo being a puppet is not out of the realm of possibility.

we will know this next year one way or the other for sure.

We all have our different opinions as to who really did what on the coaching staff.

That being said, none of us really know who did what, nor can any of us say with conviction that it was Trgovac or Fox that resulted in our poor defensive play throughout the latter half of the season.

I acknowledge you might be right. No need to call other people's opinions "bullshit" or say we're talking out of our ass. If you get that worked up on a message board--where there's bound to be some difference of opinion--perhaps you need to take a break from the computer.

He hasn't taken over the defense.

The last two years he has taken over the defensive meetings half way through the season, but from my knowledge from what I have read, the gameplans are still cooked up in the same way and Trgo called the plays.

Big difference in my opinion. Whilst Fox may be dissatisfied with the D, if he were that bothered he would be the one calling the plays. He hasn't. Hard to be directly responsible for the performance if you are not calling the plays. He may have exerted his opinion on how the game should be played though via the gameplans...

I think this defense is run pretty similarly to how Bellicheat runs his defense in New England...the only difference being Bellicheats D is usually pretty effective and Fox's has not been.

There is more than enough evidence. Fox wasn't running the defense. He hasn't been calling the plays. If you can't see that for yourself, than maybe you should not comment on something you have been ignoring yourself.

People have the right to their opinions, but what has been going on here is people have been grasping at straws. You can say it's just opinions, but the evidence that he hasn't been running the defense is all over the place. Big difference between involvement, and running the defense. If he had been running the defense, the entire NFL would know, and there would be no speculation, period.

I've admitted my ignorance as to who is calling the shots.

You say there is plenty of evidence Fox is not running the defense. Let's hear it.

I mean that sincerely. If you want to silence the critics and doubters, such as myself, than let's hear the specific evidence that points to Fox's involvement or lack thereof on the defensive side.

Gantt reports he took the D over the past two seasons. I don't take his reports as bs. Fox's answers to direct questions are bs.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
