Is Fox the modern Wayne Fontes?

[Matt Foley]

Doing just enough to keep his job from year to year? Discuss.

[Kurb]

Interesting comparison.

You are betting more than 5 people here know who he is tho.

[Purity-Control]

Not unless he gets a Coke habit

[Scrumtrilescent]

Scott Mitchell!

[Mr. Scot]

Fontes? No. Fontes never even sniffed the Super Bowl.

Schottenheimer maybe. Though the best comparison might be a post-Elway Mike Shanahan or a post Super Bowl Brian Billick.

Scott Mitchell!

Mitchell had a stronger arm than Jake. That said yeah he is a Wayne clone

[Kurb]

Post Elway Shanahan is probably best.

Fox's leash has gotten shorter and shorter since 2003.

Last year he might have gotten just enough to hang himself.

Shotty is at least consistant.

[Delhommey]

Shanahan would be the man I want if we go over a big name.

He'd have to take his hands off the GM levers though.

Shotty, is the one for me. Both coach too conservatively,and neither will ever win a SB as a head coach.The other coaches at least won one.

This.

I would love to have Shanahan as our next coach. He holds a grudge really well.

[Matt Foley]

Which is why he'd never come here. He's holding out for SD (when Norm finally screws up enough) or KC.
