Source:GM Hurney and coach Fox are likely to keep their jobs in 2010.

True Bruce, I guess the most ridiculous thing is how pathetic it is that the guy gets paid $6 million every year to do this sh'ty of a job in the first place.

QFT.

No matter if the head coach that would be brought in could take us directly to the playoffs or not, we still need to be heading in a positive direction going towards the future, and it seems with Fox and Co we are doing the opposite.

[Kevin Greene]

That actually sounds EXACTLY like some of the things Gantt has said recently.

And Zod, holy crap. Gantt is Zod!

Don't forget the $ 6 million Richardson would have to pay would be in addition to whatever he pays the new coach but more importantly, it would also require that Richardson have a GM and a coach under a new contract for a significant amount of time with a labor disbute looming after next season.

More likely than not, they'll be back. On a short leash and with some stipulations, but most likely they'll be back.

Good point. I'm now convinced Fox will be back, even at 5-11.

Why do I feel like if they are willing to pay Peppers and Delhomme so much money that he won't care if he fires Fox and Hurney and has to pay them 6 million? Just a hunch..

Bingo!

[pstall]

yeah i think del is all over it. be a heck of a gamble to do a major regime change in an uncapped year.

Hmm, nice manuevering for job security? nah..not these guys.

[Nu Guns]

bet the source is Gantt trying to keep his hope alive! lol

It is....he said the same thing on the radio today

[Delhommey]

And if they do come back, I can almost guarantee a lockout in 2011.

[Nu Guns]

Billboard is they do come back

[Kevin Greene]

Almost, cool.

[Mesmer]

A lockout would be beyond terrible... is there any good that could come from it? Or does it all bad news? Because it seems all bad.

[Delhommey]

Almost, cool.

I'm allowing for a last minute miracle.

If Fox stays and Jones uses his 2010 option on Phillips, I'll take away the almost.

[Mr. Scot]

Much as we might dislike it, this is a legitimate possibilty

[top dawg]

Well, if history is an indicator, at least we would be due for an up season.
