The Fox Watch

[Mr. Scot]

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?

Per Adam Schefter via Twitter

@adamschefter Panthers resign Fox to 3-year extension

Guess that answers that.

No :nonod:

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

If Gregg Williams is hired as a HC somewhere this offseason, Fox will be on the 1st plane to New Orleans. He's mates with Payton.

[Mr. Scot]

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.

How does Buffalo not fire Jauron?

[C-A-T-S]

How does Buffalo not fire Jauron?

Because Chan Gailey is their HC.

[Cavscout]

Chan Gailey has them playing very competitive football

I don't think Fox will get a HC opportunity right away.. I think he'll be a DC or position coach somewhere for a year or two.

[raleigh-panther]

6.5 million in the bank for this year alone, why bother with all of this, go play golf, be with your kids, have a life

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

seems every couple years one rival steps up above the rest in the division.. that would move NO to the top instantly..

[TarPanther9180]

My money is on San Diego. HC, DC, or DB coach.
