Hypothetical...

Say John Fox were to find a suitor THIS season...

Would you rather simply let him out of his contract... OR...

Do you let him out of his contract contingent on the suitor giving up draft picks (much like the Gruden to TB deal)?... OR...

Ask that he finish out his contract with the Panthers, as we are staring an uncapped season dead in the face and need some sort of consistency in the transition...

Me personally, I'd love to say hello draft picks... but still, I'd let him finish out the contract...

Yeah, I've said I'd like Fox to finish it out, and I'm about 98% certain that is what will happen... BUT, there have been recent rumblings of a possible deal to let him go elsewhere...

Let's look at the leading contenders for potential job openings Fox could look to move into...

Cleveland

Washington

Oakland

Buffalo

Washington has the #4 pick overal. Cleveland has #7. Oakland has #8. Buffalo has #9.

Cowher to Buffalo sounds like a done deal... so I'd strike them off the list...

Who knows what Al Davis will do, but my bet is Fox doesn't have any interest in that circus...

Dan Snyder often looks for a higher profile signing, and word is that Shanahan is going to be his man...

That leaves Cleveland... which is where the "Fox leaving" rumors really started to heat up...

Holmgren's in Cleveland now, and he and Fox share the same agent... Bob LaMonte... Also, Charlie Weis is a client... just saying...

I just wanted to stir the pot a little more, and a top ten pick is rather exciting... It'd take more than that, of course, and how ironic that we'd likely get more for Fox than any of our players rumored at some point or another to be on the block...

That's a testament to his coaching, no matter how much he makes you hate him at times... and one of the reasons I'd like to at least let him finish out his contract with us...

It should be another interesting thing to watch this offseason...

Weren't we all in total agreement about six weeks ago that John Fox should not only be fired, but be incinerated?

Now he says, "You can't fire me, I quit," and we're devastated at the prospect.

John Fox is a genius. He knows how to play the people.

Where did you read that Cowher to Buffalo was a done deal? If thats the case then JR and management really screwed the pooch on this one.

Well, he's had a "stealth meeting" with Bills ownership and has already started contacting prospective assistants... not that the two are related, but the stories have leaked...

How about take the pick(s), promote from within and then hire the replacement for that promotion?

That way, philosophies that have been working are not ditched (Meeks) and the areas which have not been working can get revised (ST).

if... If.... IF Fox isn't here next season, that's the most likely scenario...

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
