Fox losing grip or interest?

[Jackofalltrades]

Desperate times usually bring out someone's true colors. Weeks ago Fox distanced himself from personnel decisions that were made in the off season. This, was very unlike what we've seen from Fox in the past. Fox has always absorbed or ignored blame, now he's deflecting it.

In his post game comments he remarked:

** “That worked out really well,” coach John Fox said sarcastically. “In hindsight I wish we had done something else.

** “We were in a little bit of a time issue there with no timeouts remaining so you’re a little limited. So we were not able to punch it in from the two inches, or whatever it was.”

He wasn't even watching the game on that last drive...he was updating his online resume.

He doesn't care anymore, and he's putting players like Clausen in danger with stupid plays like that. I'd rather promote the water boy to coach the rest of the year.

[Jackofalltrades]

Apparently it wasn't his call.

[OneBadassCat]

It should be his call. If my OC has been making the dumbest calls I've ever seen for the past 8 weeks then I'm going to make it my call. I'd rather get Skipper or Magazu out there calling plays.

Apparently it wasn't his call.

So the one time Fox doesn't put his hand into a coordinator's gameplan it was THESE two calls? No, Fox knew what Davidson was calling, I'm sure of it. If he didn't, yeah, he should have.

Exactly, I thought EVERY offensive play has to go thru Foxy, right?

[CBDellinger]

We got a bunch of ding dongs over there calling plays and Fox acts like he has no say it it.

Awesome.

Fox is becoming a cancer to the whole locker room now. If your the Head Coach, then ultimately it all falls on you. Maybe he'd secretly like to Fire Davidson (rightfully so) and does not have that power anymore. While I do appreciate Fox's candor, its not a good idea to throw your other coaches under the bus. It will lead the players to resent those guys and the subsequent trickle down effect get can downright ugly.

From what I hear, this is still Fox's defense. For his players not to be ready for that last run to me, is pathetic. Id say he has grip. Quite frankly I don't see what either side gets from sticking around. We don't get anything out of firing him now, but what do we get out of keeping him?

Do you think it it also time to get a new GM? I think Marty has is about as lost as anyone.

one step at a time. i'm going to be happy just getting a new HC and staff.

Fox hasn't cared all season. He knows he's gone and he's not professional enough to see his job through since he knows no matter what happens this season he'll have a job next.

[day1fan]

But isn't he the one that help descides who is going to be the next HC. Don't you think that he had a say in getting Davidson. I think we need to start at the top of mangement.
