It

[err456]

Fox used to say that Jake had It. I do not think that Jake has It anymore, and I don't think that Fox ever did.

John Fox has been a good coach at times. He has never looked like a great coach. Even during winning seasons there were a lot of frustrations. He has never been a smart game manager. Since the Del Rio year, the defense has been characterized by looking soft, playing not to lose rather than playing to win. There were moments that looked great but they did not last. They often look flat.

The team, on both sides of the ball is consistently inconsistent.

A coach who has It has team that is always prepared. They come to play. Lose a player...plug in another. Their teams are disciplined, tough, and play to win...for 4 quarters.

A coach who has It never says, "The other team practices too."

Very well said!

I think Fox stays with Jake until it's to late to make a difference. That's just how he does things. Jake could get better (who knows).

Coaching is the problem. In the second half of the Dallas game Fox came out with his usual play not to loose attitude with only a 7 point lead. Dallas coaches knew what he was going to run before he did and the offense did nothing until the defense was to worn out to stop anybody.

That's typical Fox ball and it just doesn't work against good teams with smart coaches.

It doesnt work anymore period. He's stale and his window of opportunity was 2003-2005. Our team was on autopilot and had chemistry back then. Still like our talent, we have potential if we can find the right motivator. What did Shanahan, Tomlin, Gruden, Switzer and Siefert all have in common? They all inherited a good team with chemistry and didnt have poo to do with winning the superbowl as far as x's and o's...they just we're able to get inside the players heads...something i dont foxy can do anymore.

Or mediocre teams with idiot coaches (see Dallas and Wade Phillips).
