One factor to consider in reference to Fox behing a "hot candidate" in 2011

I'd love to hear the chat between Jerry Richardson & another NFL team owner who will consider John Fox. Reference won't exactly be glowing.
JR is a very respected owner around the league...despite what some of us feel about him :mad:. Now I don't think he would attempt to sabotage Fox, but owners talk, and he could very well dish dirt and/or say something that could turn owners off. Just throwing it out there. Mainly because I'm bored.

I dont think he will need to dish dirt. The on field performance speaks for its self. Fox did not get his way and when the going got tough he threw everyone under the bus. I can count the times on my hand when this coaching staff made half time adjustments.

Here is the facts...

Fox still had a good team even without the players we lost.

None of those said players are even starting on other teams.

There are 4 or 5 teams with less talent and more wins than us and that speaks volumes.

What players do you speak of? Our team is awful, our talent level is awful, if it were any good, they would be getting paid more. But they're not good, hence their performance is not good, and which is why their salary is not very high.

You are wrong about a lot of things and now you are proving it about the Panthers.

So why is the youngest team in the NFL considered one of the toughest in the NFC yet the second youngest is the worst in the NFL? Coaching.

Last year the youngest got their first win in week 8, and their second in week 15. Coaching is part of it, for sure, but experience counts as well.

And why does everyone care so much about whether Fox gets another head coaching gig anyway? Are you all that bound by resentment? It's one thing to be angry at the record, but isn't wishing failure for everyone involved kind of immature?

And for what it's worth, I think JR is all class. He's probably the kind of guy who either says nice things about someone, or doesn't say anything at all. I think he's also the kind who wouldn't throw his coach under the bus for the consequences of decisions that he made.

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
