Players comment on Fox's most disappointing season


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.
    • holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
    • Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
