This organization has come a long way since 2001. The excitement and expectations that we as fans have enjoyed over the last 8 years has been more than we have ever known.

However, with the inconsistent coaching, playing, and overall results, its been disappointing. What would it take for you to pull the trigger on Fox this season if things don't pull around?

Me, If we drop this one on Monday, and then come out after the bye and lose; I pull the trigger, make Davidson the Interim coach and then start over next season pending the results.

If we go 0-4 to start the season that would mean we haven't won a game in almost 10 attempts.

Pre-season included, but football is football, and no one gets excited out losing.

This is a business...

0-4, peace out John Fox....

These next two games (IMO) are the most important in Fox's career here.

Its time to put up or shut up....

Also, I fire Hurney after the season.

The "all in mortgaging the future for now" mentality has hurt us. All of that + the fact that we have done nothing in FA to help our teams depth (even in the draft we didnt get DT help)

Not to mention the money that has been tied up in Peppers, Jake, and Gamble.

All, 3 players who need to do a better job of earning their pay checks.

Our secondary is rated very high right now, but considering the fact that we are giving up a lot on the ground it makes sense. PLUS, WE ARE GREAT AT tackling after the catch, something that needs to change.

I see you finally seen the light now.. must'va been really tired being such a homer.

Its not "light", I would LOVE nothing more than Fox to turn this thing around and get us our 1st SB trophy, but his ability is in question with the only gauge we have to go by.

7 straight loses, even in pre-season games has folks wondering.

Football is not just what you do on Sunday, there is so much more to the game than that.

Planning ahead, adjusting, scheming, and motivating, all 4 things Fox has not done very well since the terrible pile of crap game in Feb.

If Fox was fired then Jim Skipper would probably take over since he's the assistant HC. I dont know if I want a RB coach taking over. To be honest there isnt a single person on the coaching staff that I would feel comfortable with as an interim coach. Thats why I say tough it out with Fox and dump him at the end of the season.

Why worry, I hear the Chin is available immediately. :beatdeadhorse5:

Uh, Gman is right.

There's no way someone is going to come in the middle of the season and do any better. Tough it out until next season.

I dont agree. If Fox's mentality and way of doing things are the root of the problem them pull his ass.

Leaders cant lead until they are in the position to do so (see mike singletary)

Let someone come in and give this team something to get excited about.

Sometimes CHANGE is good, and why let fox just drive it into the ground if he is to be gone anyways? There is a lot of potential that could be missed out on.

There are some people around here who would have pulled the trigger so many times by now that the firing pin would be broken.

I agree with you, but if we drop the next two (more so the redskins game after the BYE- then its time)

The dALLAS game is a toss-up, it will COME DOWN TO COACHING, but even if we drop that one, to come out after a bye and lose to the Skins would be the tipping point.

Fox has had too much time to get his poo together.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.

      Brian Burns Revenge Game

      Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year

      Brian Burns Revenge Game

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.
