The head coaching jobs almost universally expected to be open...

- Cincinnati

- Denver

Teams that are looking likely, but aren't a lock...

- San Francisco

- Houston

Other possibilities...

- Buffalo

- Cleveland

- Detroit

- Tennessee

- San Diego

Teams that could conceivably be looking for a DC, for different reasons...

- Giants (if Perry Fewell gets an HC job; ironic, eh?)

- San Diego (ditto for Ron Rivera, and it's be a homecoming)

- Redskins (Shanahan's gotta blame somebody, right?)

- Vikings (LB coach Fred Pagac is doing the job right now)

- Any of the other teams also looking for a head coach

Naturally, these aren't the only possibilities, but they're the ones I can see right now.

If none of the HC or DC jobs work out, Fox could also land somewhere as a DB coach or head to the college ranks.

Remember, the Raiders are not an option due to bad past history there.

So where does Coach Fox land next season?

i figure wherever he lands we'll still have people here suggesting to bring him back as an assistant/position coach

he could end up in cleveland. they might be done experimenting with NE assistants and coordinators that are worthless as HCs, they might want to try someone with a little proven success

I could see New Orleans, and boy wouldn't that raise a ruckus.

Memories of Gregg Williams last head coaching stint are still fresh though. Not sure he gets another shot just yet.

Cleveland still has Rob Ryan at DC and Mike Holmgren has said before that he thinks Gil Haskell (former Panthers and Seahawks OC, currently with the Browns as an executive advisor) deserves a head coaching job. Unknown whether he'd give him that chance. Might prefer a more experienced coach like Fox.

There's an old joke about a grandmother saying she was "doubly glad" about a visit from her grandchildren.

"Doubly", she says, because "I was glad when they got here, and I was glad when they left".

For a lot of Panther fans, that same sentiment applies to John Fox.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
