I don't think he will lose all that much in loss of interest. This isn't the Lions or Oakland...and I think we have a great team despite Delhomme.

I think of seasons like a year, in about a year he's contract is up.

I see it as he he has one season left. Unless you include this season.

The retarded part is half these people will want him back if we go into mid playoffs next year with a new QB.

[magnus]

yeah, why would the team have any interest in going to the playoffs or upgrading at QB.

If Fox is fired this year, he will be our only coach to end his tenure with more wins than losses.

couldn't that be interpreted as a sign of progress?

[Sam Mills Fan]

I thought you were just predicting the 4th?

Either way awesome work with another thread about this.

Learn to read. The new coach won't be hired the day Fox is fired.

Ha, you guys are funny. You think Fox will be fired soon. I'd bet my life he's not. Why would JR take a hit $ wise? There is no reason to unless there is a coach JR just cannot pass up. Fox is the best coach this team has had like it or not and they will let him finish up his last year on his contract...it makes the most sense business wise. Foxy does well with easier schedules, especially after a mediocre season, forget the pressure of it being his last year on a contract.

Also to add to the scenario a possible lockout in 2011, so they would be stuck paying a new coach with a new contract while nothing could be happening. The ONLY way I see Fox leaving is if there is a coach JR has his eyes on that wouldn't be available in 2011 and no, I don't think Cowher is that guy, but who knows.

I am no Fox lover but you have to look at both sides of the field and not get your hopes up and think it makes sense to get rid of him for the sole fact that you don't like him. He has always had mediocre seasons, no different from this one besides Delhomme, and Delhomme on the other hand, is worth every penny to be paid off so he'll leave.

So from a business perspective, it would not make sense to fire fox...I doubt they don't take a 'business approach' to the situation, but that would be the only way for a new HC IMO.

It could be a bad business decision keeping Fox. It might cost JR more money to bring him back because there will be no energy or excitement with this franchise going into next season. The stadium will be 1/2 empty.
