The guy is worthless as a HC. Maybe he is a damn good DC but it has been a long time since he has done that, and this Tampon 2 that was forced on us sucks.

The guy can't put together back to back winning seasons. When it goes bad he goes in a shell, puts on a 'I really dont have time to be bothered with this' look and says 'It is what it is'.

At one time this man had THE best front 4 on defense in the NFL, we had a team that should have been in the playoffs at least 4-5 years in a row talent wise and STILL couldn't do poo with it.

I feel for the next fools that think this guy is the answer as HC. I just wish it was a division opponent.

that is just the media. the media claimed teams would go for Clausen.....

Fox has already been looking for jobs and was passed over for the likes of Chan Gailey. It ain't like he hasn't been looked at yet. That is what teams think of Fox as a HC. Fox is what he is. Teams know that. The media doesn't as they never have a clue about anything Carolina related.

Fox is a very good HC. His teams were always competivie and he has made it to the SB and two NFC Title games. Coupled with the right FO he will be successful. It isn't just the media that fills this way.

Fox isn't a very good HC. He is a decent HC. Not much more. Very good HCs have consistantly good teams.

Jeff Fisher has had a rep for being one of the best coaches in the league, but I bet if you take a look at his win-loss record you'll find it's not as good as you think.

Getting to a Super Bowl, even when you don't win, does a lot for your rep in the league.

Add in that other than this season, he's never had a team finish less than 7-9 (a lot of coaches can't say that) and his teams have always played hard and never bailed on him.

Other teams looking at him could tell themselves it was Hurney's fault or Richardson's fault, and objectively speaking, that could turn out to be true.

I don't want to keep Fox, but I can understand why someone else would give him a shot.

Yeah I forgot winning is unrealistic. With the talent we have had we should have been in 2 more superbowls, but Fox couldn't pull it off

That's a homer statement. There were other very very good teams talent wise in the NFC.

His peers sees what he does and has tremendous respect for him. Honestly I give their opinions & other front office opinions more credit that I do us homer fans in evaluating coaching.

Because NFL executives tend to know more about football and the ends and outs of coaching than fans do.

Regarding talent, our fans greatly over estimated our talent. The only year we really had healthy, superbowl contender talent was 03. THe other years, our offensive talent wasn't that good. Maybe in 08, we had good talent, but thats about it.

Well Fisher has been saddled with a 'Cam Newton' type QB, look where it has gotten him.

Word is fisher is going to sit down with Bud 'I flip off opposing fans' Adams and tell him he isn't working with Young anymore and Adams needs to make a decision. According to the Crypt keeper John Clayton, Adams just sent out christmas cards with him and young on it so....

Jeff Fisher as next Panthers HC?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
