John Fox non-committal on 2010 return

[Dpantherman]

Asked whether he wants to return in 2010 without any security beyond the season, Fox said, "I would like to just get through this day and see where everything goes with that."

There has been some scuttlebutt today that Bob LaMonte may be attempting to get Fox out of his contract so he can go coach the Browns.

We shall see.

He should be happy the Panthers are allowing him to come back. Who the hell does he think he is, Vince Lombardi?

Link?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Actually forget it. I read an item on National Football Post that was really more speculation than anything and it didn't actually link Fox with Cleveland.

At this point it appears the ball is in Fox's court as to whether he wants to return next year, although if he leaves it might require another team to give the Panthers some compensation in terms of draft picks. When asked if he wants to return next year, Fox said, "Like every off-season there is evaluations and things you look at. I usually talk to my family and see where all of that goes. We're just getting started with that so I can't comment on that."

When asked about where he understands his situation is right now, Fox said, "I have a year left on my contract and I haven't had any postseason conversations with (owner Jerry Richardson). I have an agent that handles those things."

When asked if he's willing to go into next season with one year left on his contract -- something that would be unusual in the NFL -- Fox said, "I would like to just get through this day and see where everything goes with that."

Fox said he will check out the team Monday morning but doesn't know when he'll talk to Richardson.

"If I did I wouldn't go into it," he said.

Looks like a game of Who blinks first is about to happen.I just hope it happens fast because the coaching search for other teams will start soon.

Don't be stupid.

I hope that POS gets his panties in a wad and resigns.... he acts like he is doing us some HUGE favor coaching here.... He is a mediocre coach who should have brought the lombardi to Charlotte with the talent he had yet him being stubborn had him hold onto coordinators too long (Trgovac and Henning) along with being blindly loyal to players who did not deserve it (Morgan, Delhomme, Rucker)

[Dpantherman]

hes basically like a Restricted Free Agent. He will sniff around. I was actually hoping we could trade him like Oakland did John Gruden

If we could get a third rounder for him and bring in Cowher I would bust a nut...

[Brooklyn Bully]

He'll be here next year, and be a hot as hell coaching prospect in 2011 for many other teams.

Taking Foxy off our hands...that would be compensation enough (anything else a bonus).

Agree we need to get our next head coach from the present staff. Whoever will promise to send Crossman with Foxy.

If he let's Moore be the starter, keep him.

If he want's Delhommey to be the starter, let him go.

PERIOD.
