John Fox and Co. made this team more relevant than anyone prior to the arrival of Cam Newton. I'll never get the hate that is thrown at him. I think most of you that toss out hateful remarks are just bandwagon bitches that jumped in after the Super Bowl appearence.

3 winning seasons out of 9.

I'm surprised I'm the first to say it but, that doesn't have to be a jab at Fox. Yes, it is well understood between us fanboys that that was his go to line; but is it impossible to think that Williams just likes the quote with Fox having nothing to do with it?

Pretty sure DeAngelo said earlier in the off-season "it is what it is is no more." If that's not a jab at Fox, IDK what is. So, yes, I do find it impossible to think that Williams actually likes the quote.

Fox was a good coach for a while and a great motivator. He always has a competitive defense but the man knows nothing about offense and totally lacks the "go for the kill" mentality needed for today's game. He also sucks as developing skill positions and would rather ride on established talent in guys like Steve Smith, Deangelo, Beason, etc. because he's so inept at it.

Fox's football philosophy left such a slim margin for error. His style is, for better or worse, an antiquated approach to the game. His ilk will soon be the dinosaurs of the NFL.

Having said that I appreciate the turn-around he brought after our Seifert era. But I am very excited for the Rivera administration. I think he has an aggressiveness that would terrify John Fox.

No source given, but I kinda wonder if this is something Rivera said.

Rivera isn't the type to trash another coach in public, but this is the kind of thing I could see being said in a private conversation (perhaps discussing things Williams didn't like or was unhappy about under the old regime).

Fox did a lot for this franchise. Turned it around more quickly than probably 95% of the coaches out there could have. However, like it was already stated fox was reactive and after years of not making the adjustments and not improving the team in a major way something had to be done.

My main beef with him is he lacked offensive vision and would not relingish control to someone who had it.

Yeah I agree that the one you just posted was a jab at Fox, I just don't think we should jump the gun and think any quote which includes It is what it is is towards Fox. Many players still had a high level of respect for Fox when he left...including myself as a fan (though I'm not saying I don't think the change wasn't what may be best for both parties)

LOL and people thought DeAngelo might want to follow Fox to Denver... sounds like most of these guys were sick of Fox, just like me.

I think Fox's biggest failure was his failure to inspire anybody. The team went into games with the "just don't screw up" mentality and when you play with that mentality you almost certainly screw up, Denver got a taste of that last week.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
