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

[Dpantherman]

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.

[Dpantherman]

damn, should put it in NFL forum, sorry.

[Mr. Scot]

Raiders are not an option (history).

[Boltergeist]

shouldn't we be in offseason mode anyway, and general NFL stuff is allowed here

and it seems like with the successes of guys like Tomlin, Smith, John Harbaugh, Morris, Haley, and Payton that teams are hopping more on the young coordinator train

[Dpantherman]

Id assume that if Rivera comes here, he'd be welcomed back in San Diego, or if Greg Williams gets a gig, Sean Payton already said he'd welcome him in New Orleans (and hed get to coach against us twice a year)

But I wonder if hes willing to take a demotion.

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?

If Fox ends up at Michigan I think I'm going to cry.

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).

Eggsactly. "Roll Tide" ring a bell?

[bleys]

I highly doubt he gets another HC gig..

[MWCarolina]

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

[Stroupe-a-loop]

You probably shouldn't after 2-14 and no back to back winning seasons. Love the guy, but who could justify that?

just referring to those who claim he'll get picked up as soon as he's available for hiring..

the media.. crazy people running around these forums... etc

Who cares?
