My issue with Fox was the fact that he absolutely refused to change and adjust when aspects of his game plan were not working.

He was stubborn and predictable....a bad combination of traits as a coach.

There you go.

People who defend John Fox are the same people who want to stop scoring when you get up a touchdown so you won't make the other team mad, run the ball all the time, stick with the same QB who throws interception after interception, is afraid to tell the owner to stick it, and they suck. They suck so badly. Just like John Fox.

If you can't change and adapt to your weaknesses and strengths you suck as a coach. John Fox to see Belichick to learn to be a coach.

End of Line.

John Fox's style of coaching doesn't fit in the 21st century. It's becoming a big passing league, and sadly the running game is becoming less and less of a focus. John Fox runs the ball and plays defense, while other teams run up the score and stack 8 in the box against him. That's how to defeat Fox and the other 20th century past time coaches. Running the ball is unforunately becoming less important each year.

I thought his problem was that he couldn't really, or showed no desire to develope any aspect of the passing game. His best years were when he was handed three good receivers and an adequate qb. He didn't have to develope any of them very much. When faced with the prospect of drafting and developing new receivers and quarterbacks, the program kind of fell apart. And he never hired offensive coordinators that could compensate for his own weaknesses.

If Denver's front office forces him to go with a more aggressive coordinator who knows how to run a passing attack, he might have some success there.

John Fox would never allow an OC to be hired that knew how to run a passing attack...

Or if they did force one on him... the OC would leave for another team after a few years of having 3 plays to try and get something going.

The people that have no problem with the OP, are the same ones who put the majority of the blame on this team's failures on Fox, and not where the majority should be: the players.

What people seem to forget is that Fox's offense was a really easy one for a QB to operate. Lot's of runs, lots of short plays, ball control. You can argue that he should have opened it up more but to blame Clausen's/Moore's play on bad play calling is a joke. Fox just had some crappy QBs his final 2 years.

It may be my imagination, but the people who seem the angriest about Fox are the same ones who flamed the hell out of Jake, Peppers, Jenkins, Morgan, Minter, and anyone else who's ever done big things for Carolina but eventually disappointed for one reason or another.

Small people, IMHO.

That had more to do with the offense that Fox wanted to run....run heavy and then take big shots down the field.

He did not develop the passing game because he viewed it as something merely to keep defenses honest....not as a real weapon.

The league has changed and I think it passed by Fox towards the end of his time here in Carolina. We did ok because we had decent players who did just enough to win a few games. Hes a conservative, run first, soft zone type coach. Plain and simple.

We have an attacking aggressive staff now. I'll take it in order to catch up to the top tier teams in the league.

get over it, people. He did great things here

I've been reading these types of statements defending Fox since he left. It's makes me laugh everytime. What good things did he do? Never having a back to back winning season? Under his rule how many times did we make the playoffs? How many times did we make it past the first round? Blah blah....John Fox was a terrible coach and every single Panther fan is happy he's gone. And if you're not, You suck too

We went past the first round of the playoffs 2 of the 3 times. I'm assuming you are asking because you don't know.

      89 on The Pivot

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.

      What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
