Wade Phillips, Brad Childress....

and have Jeff Davidson as coach? lol. Those 2 teams have players that can get it done where over here we have a rash of injuries, a rookie god awful qb, and a defensive line that is getting gashed every chance it can get. completely different scenarios.

Dont forget the Offensive line which is by far our worst in 5 seasons.

At this point, from what I gather about Fox and JR's relationship, or lack thereof, JR is doing it as a punishment to Fox. Fox doesn't want to be a quitter, but at the same time, I think he's sticking around to try and f*ck JR over as well (not playing Armanti, benching Gamble, etc.)

I think JR believed once it was clear we were gonna suck that Fox was intentionally getting back at him for leaving him a lame duck. So, JR decided he was gonna go down with the ship he was sinking with his own actions. Ever since, Fox has done stuff to get back at JR.

This is all speculation, but I can think there are signs that it is very real.

I think Foxy feels set up by JR, and JR feels Foxy mailed it in, so they've just spent the season trying to leave the other in the worse position possible once the contract is up.

I guess we'll see who wins next year lol.

Sorry Meat, but that's a horrible comparison.

The front offices of both the Vikings and Cowboys gave their coaches plenty of talent to work with this year, and neither Childress nor Phillips was able to use that talent effectively. Compare this to Fox's situation, wherein Richardson purged a lot of the veteran talent and didn't go after anyone significant in free agency.

Furthermore, the Vikings and Cowboys obviously were tired of playing for their respective coaches. I sincerely believe that this team has not given up on Fox.

I don't want Fox here next year, but that doesn't mean I think that any of our assistants would do a better job.

Yea I agree with those above...bad comparison. Both of those teams made the playoffs last year and have veteran teams...Panthers are the youngest team in the NFL and barely made it to .500 last year. A change at the top just says to the rest of the team "you're next".

Anybody read MMQB yet?

Interim Coach "I Told You So'' Note of the Week. Jason Garrett is 3-1, a Roy Williams fumble from 4-0. Frazier is 2-0. We might be about to hit uncharted territory for interim coaches. Is it possible that 49ers owner John York, or maybe Carolina owner Jerry Richardson, would request permission after the season to interview one or both coaches? And unless they've been signed to head-coaching contracts after the Cowboys' and Vikings' seasons, would they consider interviewing for the gigs? Why not? Both coaches have been superb in taking the focus away from the off-field mayhem and putting it on the field.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
