This whole situation is so FUBAR that it doesn't matter what anyone does at this point. Jerry Richardson has done some really dumb poo in the last 12 months. This statement doesn't even make it on the radar compared to his "management" of the team since the end of last year.

You know what John Fox should do? Go out there, and punt the ball every 1st down. (We're going to be punting 3 plays later anyway). Obviously he has to know he was done after Sundays game, but to do this 2 days before a game is pretty classless. This isn't college football where people switch teams in week 5 or whatever. I hope the players go out there and play their hearts out for this man. They always have, and I hope they do it one last time Sunday.

i'm sure this announcement just shattered his world

This could actually be a classy move by JR to Fox. By making this public, it gives Fox the ability to have discussions with other teams about possible openings earlier.

This.

It is possible Fox's agent even asked for this.

This announcement means that Fox is now able to be contacted by owners looking for a coach for next year already I believe - and there are quite a few, including one where Fox's name was linked until our season reached the depths of crappiness and theirs got a bit better with an interrim guy. ( Remember the Dallas columns profiling him as a possibility? I think other jobs are more likely, but there it is)

It is possible I don't understand the rules, but I think now the Panthers can not claim tampering or anything crazy if people contact Fox before his contract is up in Feb.

Ever think that JR did this BECAUSE he respects Fox??? Do you know what the first Monday after the regular season is called...Black Monday. They call it this bc this is usually when coaches get the axe. Maybe Richardson told Fox now so it wouldn't seem as if they "fired" him but rather they decided to go in a different direction. I think waiting until Monday when other coaches will be fired would have been worse. I don't think this was classless in any sense of the word!!!

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
