I think its funny that Fox mentions nothing about thanking the fans over the years for support. Most coaches even fired ones thank fans if even tongue in cheek.

Well seeing as we've been talking poo about him over the years and especially this year...

This is the weirdest thing ever that he's still going to coach on Sunday. I've never seen a situation where the owner has made it official that a coach won't be returning, but yet that coach still goes out and coaches another game.

If Fox and his staff didn't coach, we'd have DeAngelo, TD, Otah and all the rest of the injured guys coaching instead.

On second thought, that could be fun.

Although everyone knew it was coming, could the fact that the announcement was made before the final game, as opposed to next week mean we are looking to move quickly on the next coach (fighting SF and Michigan for Harbaugh)?

That would be my best guess as well. I think if JR had his way the new coach would be announced at about midnight on Monday.....:D

And Harbaugh cant select his own coaches because.....

It's not that he can't but does JR trust him that much, willing to give him that much control? I guess it all depends on who picks the new staff. Just seems unlikely to go with a coach who has yet to head coach a single NFL game and let him pick his own staff, not something I would expect from JR.

My point is that it's odd they didn't just save this for Monday since there is still the one game left.

I can't wait to see this game and see if the fired coaches mail it in. I know I would if I was on that staff. What point is there to not to? The players won't mail it in so it will make for a very interesting contrast to watch.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
