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?

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
