"Fox easily ranks as the best coach in Panthers history"

Despite his conservative nature, Fox easily ranks as the best coach in Panthers history.

During his seven-year tenure at Carolina, the Panthers rank sixth in total victories (including the postseason) with 68, trailing only New England, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and San Diego.

I know everybody wants to remember Arizona. However, this is what stuck out the most to me from Fowler's Remember Arizona article. I know we haven't won a Superbowl yet, but this is not a bad list to be on.

Suck on it Cowboy fans.

Stop with the positves. We all know Fox sucks, he is a meddling conservative fool, he is on the hotseat, he hasn't won a Super Bowl and everything else.

Did I miss anything??????

Bad breath? He never gives out any real information i.e. team secrets?

Fox has been steady...no major fluxuations. We've been 7-9 at worst and 12-4 at best. A couple of seasons though, a Dom Capers 4-12 or a Seifert 1-15 would have spelled the end of Foxy. Fortunately for Coach Fox he's yet to dip under that 7-9 mark, while a losing season it's the "best" losing season mark you can have only a game out of a non-losing season.

Top coaches have gotten fired for better results. Remember Tony Dungy getting canned in Tampa for only making the playoffs and not winning the Super Bowl. I bet Tampa is still kicking themselves for such a stupid move.

Fox has at least kept our team competative every season and I guess that's enough to hang on to him.

I think we are winning 7 at minimum a year because of Fox. I don't ever think he'll get us to the 10+ win echelon every season like a couple of coaches out there. However, that's the reason there's only a couple of coaches like that. Foxy is a 9-7 type coach +/- 2 games. That's good enough for me. Could we get a better coach? Yeah, but by running the risk of letting him go there would be a much higher chance of getting a worse coach in return.

good post. I admire your approach a a fan and how realistic you are. When you put it into that perspective it makes the game much easier to enjoy as it remove the craziness factor that says we have to be perfect. Getting a worse coach by changing him out is a bigger risk to a person who is happy with +/- 2 games though than a fan who thinks we should be winning that 10+ games a season. I am sure you understand that.

rep for your grounded outlook

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      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.

      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.
