John Fox vs Tom Coughlin


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

Coughlin had an above average run with jacksonville ending up 68-60 (128 games) with his last 3 seasons 19-29. Made it to the AFC championship game twice but never the superbowl.

Foxy is 73-69 and was 71-57 (128 games!) before this season with a superbowl appearance and a better playoff record

Coughlin gets picked after a year by NYG going 64-46 and gets them a superbowl.

Coughlin was 56 when he left the Jags

Foxy is 55

On Coughlin's coaching style

"Coach Coughlin, he kind of lets it slide. He kind of lets it roll off because he knows you're going to come back and fix it."

Wow, a football player who considers Coughlin understanding, flexible, and maybe even a bit too soft.

"Firm, fair, honest, demanding," Coughlin said of his approach as he stood outside the winners' locker room. "I try to be consistent. No matter how difficult it goes, I try to maintain our course and keep people motivated, and we don't fluctuate back and forth. I try to keep it just the way it's presented to the players originally."

Sound familiar at all?

I bet Fox coaches again if only because he fits the formula.

Anyone with me?

anyone who thinks fox won't land a coaching job as soon as he leaves carolina is severly misguided.

how so?

the vast majority of coaching jobs have gone to new coaches the past several years...and there have been a lot of them. teams just aren't looking for retreads and those couple that are will be looking at a few others before fox.

he may land a coaching job, but it won't be a HC job.

Also possible he learns some lessons and is actually better at his next job.

Guys like Marv Levy, Dick Vermeil, and even Bill Belichick were a lot better on later jobs than they were on their first.

Of course, if he succeeds elsewhere, especially if he succeeds faster than the next Panthers coach does, people will be screaming that we were wrong to let him go.

But it won't be true. A mutual split is likely the best thing for all parties right now.

Dallas job might be in play again.

Jones was reportedly fuming after last night, and he's been known to make impulsive decisions before.

I think the Dallas fan base would be in an uproar if JJ brought a 2-14 winning coach in at the end of this season. JJ is going to want to make a big splash and Fox is not it.

Possible, but there aren't that many big names out there right now.

It's already been said that Cowher's not going to Dallas. Gruden's plans are reportedly for next year and elsewhere. Don't think Dungy's coming back? Billick? Wouldn't excite me anymore than Fox, honestly.

Jeff Fisher's one I could see, but he's not technically out of a job, yet.

Nightmare scenario? Jones acquires Harbaugh :(

The article regarding Fox was dated Oct 27. I can see JJ keeping the current coach in a one year contract before bringing in Fox next year.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
