Players comment on Fox's most disappointing season

When asked if this has been his most disappointing season ever, coach John Fox said. "Yeah, considering it took until this point to be double digit losses I would say that is a fair assessment.” Fox has never had a double-digit loss season in previous 20 years as an NFL assistant or head coach.

DE Charles Johnson on John Fox: "He's a good guy, man. He's the type of coach that you want to follow. Fox, you learn so much from him, just being around him and how he coaches. He treats you like a man, he respects you and he respects his players."

John Fox on how this year's 1-12 record affects his legacy as Panthers coach: “I think the staff, the players here and myself included I think we’ve done absolutely the best job we could possibly do. I will be able to look myself in the mirror when I walk away from here.”

More from TE Jeff King on John Fox: "All of us here in this locker room, it would serve us right to play hard for him because he has a good reputation and his word goes a long way around the league. As a person and a player that has been here five years, I love playing for him. I will continue to play hard for him because he deserves that.”

TE Jeff King on John Fox's legacy: "I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. Three more games or however long we are together, I’m going to fight my ass off for him. He’s that kind of coach. He’s always in his player’s corner, and that is all you can ask for.”

I still think he will be a HC again, likely soon...

Whats a player supposed to say? "Yeah, he really phoned it in this year". Yeah, smart, burn your bridges with a soon to be head coach of another team when you may be a free agent yourself soon.

Doesn't get much fluffier than this piece.

I actually think they genuinely like the guy, but okay.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
