No teams fighting over Fox?

[The Saltman]

The real good coaches are consistent and can coach not use leftovers from previous years over and over.

Call it an excuse if you want, but the threat of a lockout has kept a lot of owners from not letting coaches go who were assumed to be gone and/or promoting interim coaches (and not even seriously interviewing other candidates). The fact that Marvin Lewis is going to be back in Cincinnati is all the proof that you need.

Before some mouthbreather posts "Why didn't Jerry keep John Fox then?" Obviously our situation was different in that Jerry was keeping Fox around for one more year because he had to pay him anyway.

To respond by quoting the man himself, "Would you write a check for $11,441,000? I didn't think so. This is a business, you know."

But in all seriousness, you're probably right about the lockout. I'm not sure what the contract status is with all the coaches who were rumored to be gone by now, but that would be a strong indicator.

they were shoe-ins as great coaches.

"shoe-ins"

How many Head Coaches have been hired that weren't already a part of the team (i.e. Interim Coach)?

Everybody took note of the Delhomme gives us our best chance to win fiasco.

Some of you insisted he would not be on the market long. What happened?

He's history........I really don't care what he does.

Pre-5 yard rule change, Fox would be off the market in an instant. Post rule change, no one gives a sh!t.

[rayzor]

Not sure that a coach that has 3 winning seasons out of 9 is even an average head coach, more like a sometimes lucky one.

it's really hard to defend this record.

[jtm]

Honestly, I think he'll be coaching the Browns before it's all said and done.

I agree unless he ends up at Oakland. Reality at this point he is going to be 2nd option for pretty much every team. Everyone right now wants you know who and then Cowher. Cleveland will try and convince Holgrem to coach 1st - if not then they will go after Gruden. If those two don't work, Foxy will prob. be next.

Not having back to back winning seasons really hurts him.

I am more interested on what HC position Davidson lands, that guy is an offensive guru!

Pre-5 yard rule change, Fox would be off the market in an instant. Post rule change, no one gives a sh!t.

The ultimate strawman!

[fjblair]

"Fox won't be on the market for 5 minutes" was practically the catchphrase of the self-styled pragmatists here a season ago.

So true. He may land a HC position but I would be very, very surprised. Fox is a dinosaur.

[Mvp2014]

REALLY?? big surprise. Guess the color commentators we've been getting are as stupid as I thought.. I guess I'd say.. "It is what it is"
