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

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
