Panthers will bring Hurney, Fox and Fox's staff back next season

Carolina Panther general manager Marty Hurney, head coach John Fox and Fox's entire coaching staff will be offered the opportunity to return next season, the Charlotte Observer has learned.

Fox, whose contract will expire after the 2010 season, will not be offered an extension, however. Sources say he is scheduled to make about $6 million next season.

The return of the general manager and coaches could be a reward for upset victories the last two Sundays of Minnesota and the New York Giants.

Another factor, however, could be a potential lockout after the 2010 season. Contract negotiations between owners and players is expected to be bitter. If the owners lock the players out, teams might reduce expenses to prepare for the economic fallout

I will say this if Fox is brought back I will be selling my season tickets next year.

Richardson deserves every bit of a mediocre team that he's got. Too bad we, the fans, have to suffer through it. Oh well, we'll end up going 11-5 and we'll see another extension for Fox and company....followed by another abysmal season. Cowher goes to Tampa and that's that...Just as stale as bi-annual Panther football. fug you Richardson.

I still cant get over the 3 winning seasons the past 7 (includes this one). I think its easier to play, game plan, etc when you have nothing to lose vs games that mean something. I love the wins against MN and NY but where is the consequence for the Panthers playing those games with no chance at making the playoffs???

I am not on the Cowher bandwagon but do think he would be an upgrade. As a fan it does bug me that the reason Fox might stay is due to the CBA and other issues besides the product on the field.

[Woodcookedbbq]

I don't care if he comes back, but I hope and pray he's got enough sense to not start Jake next season.
