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.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
