Will Fox be let go mid-season if we continue losing?

[jtm]

Normally I would say no way, but I wonder if Richardson is fed up. Not that Richardson is innocent in this debacle, but curious as to your opinions. If we are going hire Cowher and we continue losing, why not get him rolling? I know this sounds out there but if we are 0-6, is it really out of the question?

[Ruff]

I don't think he will be let go.

Will he resign though? That's the question.

Only if JR is considering Skipper or Meeks for the job--he might like to see how well they do. If it were me, I would look hard at Baker if I were staying on staff.

[Zod]

Would be a smart move if Richardson is considering one of the coordinators as a head coach. On the job interview - nothing better.

[jtm]

I hope he doesn't stay on staff but that is just my opinion. Seems like the experts feel like Cowher is the man and if not Cowher then Gruden b/c he knows the conference so well. Having said that, both are available and don't have any hurdles to starting.

If we continue to lose it will be an interesting topic. Probably will not happen b/c JR will not want to pay a salary to a coach for next year during the lock out.

I think JR respects Fox too much to do that.

[CatMan72]

Don't see that happening, they'll let him finish the season and then move on (which was the plan from day 1).

[G()AT]

No, he will not be let go because they don't give a fug about showing fans they actually care about our time/money/attention.

And we will probably promote from within, as once again they just dont give a fug.

Yeah, this would be the only thing that would make sense if you are firing Fox.

I can see both of these cases. But I dont think we will promote from within.

yep, thats the only way i see us getting rid of fox mid season. richardson isn't going to go out and hire someone else to come in mid season. that very rarely happens on any team.

meeks is the only one i can really see being given that opportunity.

only way that will happen is if fox leaves mid season.

[panthers55]

No he won't fire Fox. Only an idiot would gut the team and expect them to play at a high level. He knew this was going to happen and frankly did little to prevent it.

[JungleCat]

Yeah, it's frustrating to be stuck all season with a lame duck coach.
