Fox expects to be fired

[jasonluckydog]

We will win the SB this year so I dont see what all the fuss is about.

If John Fox is really saying this stuff this early in the season, he deserves to just be fired. If we lose today, I think you gotta move Peppers. We're already screwed by the 49ers who are not only a good team now but get a top 10 pick from us. That is just painful. Hopefully we can deal Peppers for a first or a player of value (QB maybe...?)

Davidson should be the interm HC this season if Fox has thrown in the towel. Start Moore, see if he can scrape together a few wins, then evaluate the team in the offseason. I hope by all accounts we don't see The Chin as our next head coach...but we'll see this offseason. I think a change is coming either way.

Well how didnt see this coming after we traded all our picks away for two years. I put my bid in for Mike Shannahan. He has 3 good RBs to work with so Not having a QB want hurt so much.

Fans wanting the Chin as the coach are the same fairweather folks who leave in the 4th quarter when were down by 3.

They dont understand football and just like a big name.

There is the exception to some of you who are great fans but dont know any better, but the Chin was about to be booted from the Steelers before he road the Bus to a SB Championship.

Give me a young guy who has something to prove with a proven track record and a great attitude.

Hurney put us in this position and needs to go with Fox.

Peppers will be of no value to us this offseason, as he was last offseason.

yep- the writing has been on the wall with Fox, you dont start mortgaging the future unless you feel the heat.

This is 2 years in a row, now the new guys will have little to work with, and no depth.

[Jangler]

Why would Rooney push him to come here? Does he have a close tie with Richardson or something?

Did you read the OP?

If Bill Cowher is going to leave CBS, it would make sense that his former Pittsburgh boss, Dan Rooney, would try to persuade him to go to Carolina. Rooney and Panthers owner Jerry Richardson are the best of friends. Remember, Rooney accepted a draft-choice penalty (tampering charge) for allowing his then-assistant coach Dom Capers to become Carolina's first head coach.

this year just keeps getting better

[AKPantherFan]

You know what pisses me off about this, is Fox's outlook on the season.

Making that statement just says "yep- we suck, we will suck, and my tenure here is over"

Shows no heart.

But saying that, it now makes sense why the team shows no heart as well.

Blow out today/

Blow out today/

us or them?

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

There were a lot of people on here who, after seeing Fox at the OTA's and in training camp, seemed pretty convinced that this would be his last year just based on his body language and the way he acted around the team. They of course caught hell for saying it then.

Where does it say that Fox really said any of this? No source. No confirmation. This is BS. Somebody that needs to write something, anything before deadline

I really dont believe that. Now none of us knows what goes on behind closed doors but I will say this. We have talent on our team. Our Drafts have been successful if you ask me in the most part.
