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.

    • Bryce hasn’t played well enough to justify that sort of extension. If the organization wants to roll with him at QB moving forward, any extension they offer should be commensurate with his play. For “passable” QB play (however you want to define that…I use the term generally to mean that he’s a game manager that you can win with if you build the rest of the team right but that he’s going to limit your ceiling and potentially lose you some games here and there; I do not think he‘s “the guy.”), the going rate is going to be a lot lower. Something more in the 3 years 45 million range. And if Young thinks he can get more elsewhere, then he’s free to try to do so.    Whether that would be an OK decision depends entirely on the answer to the premise of this thread. Do you think you can meaningfully improve on Young? If the answer is no, whether yet be due to lack of attractive options in the draft or free agency and no one willing to trade a good QB for a decent price, then I don’t have a problem with rolling with Bryce (sans 5th year extension and/or with a reasonable contract) and taking some late in the draft flyers and exploring worse options (but better than Dalton) in free agency.  Paying less for a QB does allow for the flexibility to build strength elsewhere on the roster, and then you hope you can upgrade from Bryce later. 
    • No .  He got paid and is rich now.  not saying that is it 100% but it wouldn't be the first time we have seen something similar happen to not so hungry players.
