Fox getting teary eyed while talking about Jake's release...

i dont think it is that fact that he cried, but that it confirmed the emotional attachment he had to jake. if he cried like this for jake, dont you think this same emotion may have clouded his judgement on when to bench jake? did he cry at mike minters retirement?

EVERYBODY cried at Minter's retirement. Every coach, player, and half the media in that room was crying.

Give me a mutha fuggin break.

Show me a coach who gets all emotional and teary eyed when cutting a player that performed terribly and I will show you a coach that gets too emotionally attached to his players to make sound decisions.

Good lord John, he is going to go play for another entertainment company. Reach down and check your ball sack. Man up, pussy.

Love,

That tells you right there Fox has no business coaching this (or any other) team. He personally is why we are in the shitty shape we are in right now.

Not in the NFL, but I've played enough sports and experienced enough of the same sort of thing in the Army that I understand it. What have you done that would compare?

I've played sports (high school level and below only) and I served in the military. While I understand what you're trying to say, I think it's a bad analogy. I don't get how people can equate the two.

They all cried at Minters retirement and they all cried at Ruckers' retirement. They sure as hell didn't shed any tears when the media asked them about Peppers though.

Why do people think this is unusual anyway? Fox is not the first coach to get emotionally attached to a player, and he certainly won't be the last. Just because this was a hard decision for Fox, that doesn't mean he didn't think it was the right one. In fact, I got the impression that he was sure this was the right decision.

It's simple...these guys spend about as much time together and go through as many challenges as a soldier does. For instance, how much time do you think Fox gets to spend with his wife and kids during the season, compared to his players and coaching staff?

The same as countless people in Charlotte that work harder and make a fraction of what he does. Gimme a break.
