“Now that Miami's doing it, the Wildcat's all the big thing. But the creator of it is John Fox,” Panthers running backs coach Jim Skipper said. “All of a sudden, Dan goes to Miami, and they expand on it, but we were probably the first team in the league to run it.

“Dan was the coordinator, but I'd say John deserves the credit. You can push it any way you want to push it, but that's where it originated from, was John.”

fox brought back the single wing.

wildcat is a variation on the single wing.

So I would more call fox the godfather of the wildcat.

The Panthers only did it because they didn't have a QB, that's why. They tried letting Weinke throw it around the yard against the Giants and Steelers that year, and they got the poo beat out of them.

Well, there is a big difference when you only run it about twice every 3 or 4 weeks, instead of making it the focal point of your offense like the Dolphins have.

Mike McCarthy (Saints OC at the time) did direct snaps to Deuce McAllister long before we started doing anything of the sort.
