I think Fox will jump ship

I don't think any teams are going to extend to Fox any offers until some of these bigger name coaches are hired (Cowher, Shanahan, etc.).

This... and if Cleveland doesn't get rid of Mangini, Oakland would likely be the only other candidate...

Let's face it... If he would want to go to Oakland instead of stay with Carolina, then let him go and make Al Davis pay out the ass...

I doubt Fox would ever go back to the Raiders. He actually took a hiatus from coaching years ago b/c he got tired of working for/dealing with Al Davis.

I am also in the minority that wants Fox to stay put. If we were to bring a new head coach in, the only one I would be ok with is McDermott.. the DC from the Eagles. His defense could use our players and there would not be a mass overhaul on defense.

I think there are more teams thinking about changing coaches than people think.

The obvious are Buffalo, Oakland, Was, and possibly Cleveland.

I think that Seattle, Jacksonville, and Tampa could be looking to get new coaches as well. None of those jobs are shabby and if they are willing to give Fox a long-term deal, I wouldn't doubt he'd take it over risking his reputation on our QB situation for next year.

I don't think any teams are going to extend to Fox any offers because he is under contract. They would need permission from the Panthers to talk to him and then would have to negotiate the buy out. It ain't gonna happen.

Is Fox going to be any better in games 1-11 in 2010 than he was this year?

He plays entirely different when the season is lost, he plays to win not plays not to loose.

He still will be ultra conservative.

He still will keep the rookies on the bench if at all possible.

He still will run the ball on 3rd down if we have any kind of a lead.

And worst of all he may even find a way to play Jake.

Fox has been a good coach for the Panthers but if he leaves I won't loose any sleep over it.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
