Carolina Panthers Coach Fox: 'I see myself being back'

[Rod Butsecks]

(By Charles Chandler, Inside the Panthers) Panthers coach John Fox indicated he will return to the team next season in an interview aired last night on the weekly Panther Talk radio show on WBT (1110 AM).p/Team play-by-play announcer Mick Mixon taped the interview before the show, asking Fox about his future, referring to Fox's comments the previous day after a win over New Orleans in which Fox was noncommittal about his plans and wouldn't say whether he wanted to return to the team for 2010.

A caller to this morning's Mac Attack stated that that the NFL Network is reporting that John Fox's agent has stated that "Fox will not be back without an extension".

I can not verify this, but I'm passing it along in hopes that someone else can corroborate it.

Is it really that bad?

Some of you make it out like the team accomplished nothing in the past couple of games.

To me it is...I truly believe that Jake will be the starter going into next season if Fox is back...then it will truly be that bad for everyone! Do you wanna take that chance?

He really didn't say anything new

Would we have done so with Delhomme at the helm? And that begs the question: would Fox have ever put Moore in had Delhomme not been injured?

I actually think bringing Fox back is probably a good thing -- but I'm just playing Devil's advocate here.

I haven't seen anything on the NFL Network that corresponds with the caller's reporting. I have seen on the NFL.com where IF John Fox somehow gets out of his contract that the Browns will be the place he will go and it looks as if Holmgren will bring in Zorn and Sherman Smith as assistants.

I would actually be fine with Fox being here next year if it meant that the right QB was actually played.

NFL Network did say this morning that fox would not be back without an contract extension.

[Lumps]

"I don't have a lot of answers at this point other than I have a year remaining on my contract. I see myself being back here a year from now. That's just the way it is."

God man how do you go through life just saying everything is just the way it is on everything. I can't tell if Fox WANTS to be here or is staying because he has no options. The man acts stoic, like a machine....

Either way Fox is a good coach and I don't care if he is back. That means Meeks is back, and there is some consistency. This is also the last chance Fox has to do something so I doubt he comes back with Jake. I think in 2011 the Panther will be a very good team with Fox as HC. Our defense will be tough and as long as we get a #2 receiver, keep the backs... panthers will dominate.
