Fox isn't going anywhere

[CRA]

We should expect to see Fox here for a few more years. I think this draft may be an indication of a less conservative, more aggressive movement by the coaching staff.

A duck ain't a swan no matter how bad you want it to be. Fox will always play Foxball....conservative and not to lose for the most part.

The Edwards pick alone is a clear indication of the contrary.

The biggest issue with fox has always been his overconfidence in Delhomme. that is what hurt him last year, and I think he may have finally fixed his "issues" as a HC. he brought in a couple of good young QB's to compete and worked at getting them some receivers to throw to.

The Edwards pick doesn't outweigh what Fox has been every year he has been in Carolina. Fox isn't going to be less conservative......Fox isn't going to be a "new" coach this year. Same old Fox.

Now u trying to put words in my mouth. But we'll see, I am not suggesting we won't be a run first team still. I am suggesting that our coaching staff will pick up some of the growing trends in the NFL.

You don't let a coach, especially a coach with Fox's record, enter the last year of their contract if you're hell bent on keeping them around. It's embarrassing/insulting to the coach, it's harder on the players and it generates a ton of distracting chatter in the media.

Even if we have a change of heart mid season, who's to say Fox wants to come back after this?

In normal circumstances, yes but with a lockout coming up Fox could just know its simply business. No one really in their last year, including coaches are going to be signed long term before the lockout, especially for the Panthers who appear to running in the lockout is for sure mode. Fox is a great coach.

If we tell Fox "Hey, just wait around to 2012, we'll try to work something out then!" he's going to laugh and sign a multi-year contract somewhere else, lockout or no.

I want a new coach, but I don't kid myself. Fox would get hired somewhere else FAST.
