The Fox Watch


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.  
    • Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up. 
    • I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
