John Fox not a lock to get a HC gig??

Lets look at the teams looking for head coaches:

Cleveland Browns- likely going offense, Pat Shumur and Gruden mentioned as candidates. (I guess we still can't rule out Fox)

Oakland Raiders- since 1963 Al Davis has hired 1 Defensive Head Coach...John Madden.

49ers- looks like Jim Harbaugh or bust...

Denver Broncos- ??? possibility, but I think they'll go offense again

Carolina...well, you know.

All of that talk about Fox being the "hottest FA head coach" hasn't lived up...yet. Granted its early, put perhaps the media laid it on a bit thick with this one.

I agree, Fox doesn't have many logical landing places from what is coming out now.

Peter King on Sunday Night Football said the way most teams will go about getting a new HC is through rising/established assistant coaches.

Fox doesn't fit that. Money could be a factor as well?

he will find a job, if not a head coach a defensive coordinator, possibly with a Denver or New York Giants (If Fewell is hired somewhere).

as many people claiming Fox will get picked up as soon as he's let go.. I'm still waiting... I highly doubt he gets another HC gig..

i dont doubt he finds a head coaching job, but it may not be this year. i think he wil be a defensive coordinator if not hired as a head coach, the Browns and Broncos are the teams to watch when it comes to Fox being either head coach or defensive coordinator

    • Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.
    • I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing. 
    • I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
