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?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
