foxy had that game changing attitude.

remember that 49ers game we were getting stomped by halftime and came back in win it in the 4th.

only Tony Dungy can be a quiet type attitude coach. not rivera, not leslie frazier, not no one

Hahaha game changing attitude? The dude that ran every single time on third and long? The guy that would take a knee and take it to the locker room with 2 minutes left in the first half? Really that guy??

I saw so many times that when a player screwed up last season, Rivera went and grabbed them and chewed them out on the bench. He also wasn't afraid to go for it on 3rd and long and 4th down. And he always kept playing trying to get more points. He is far, I MEAN far from the quiet coach. I also love how he did almost daily press conferences to keep the fans up to date. Fox never did that.

Rivera is a perfect mix of friend to the players and tough coach. Fox just tried to be buddy buddy with the players and that doesn't work. You have to be very strict. Rivera definitely is.

You sir make ZERO sense.

Ah yeah, I think we all miss foxy's never say die, give 'em hell, fiery all day passion.

Yeah, I really miss him chewing his gum and clapping his hands every time someone screwed up.

Fox was a good coach in many ways, but he ran his course here and his refusal to develop young players ultimately put is in a very bad position when our veterans started to age out.

I do miss Pep (when he felt like playing), Ruck, Buck and Jenks (when he felt like playing). That d-line was down right nasty (when Pep and Jenks felt like playing).

well pretty much everything i wanted to say has been said.

lmao could you imagine though if cam newton was jammed down john fox's throat (it was going to happen regardless of who was coaching here)

Fox would have used Cam like he used The Golden Calf of Bristol, instead of developing his passing skills.

when he can play his game and he's got the right guys for his philosophy he's as good as anyone. there were some impressive beatdowns laid on quality teams in his time here.

when he's out of his comfort zone and he has no answer for what the other team is doing though it gets ugly fast. think back to what the eagles' defense did to us on opening day 2009.

      Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.

      OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

      By Dragoon11 · Posted

      Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol

      Officially time to end the Bryce experiment?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
