(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?

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 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.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?

      The main thing that makes the NFL so appealing is how unpredictable it is
