Jerry Richardson announces that Fox and his entire staff will not return in 2011

[err456]

i kinda wanted to keep meeks

I don't think he is a 3-4 guy

[MHS831]

Ya know, I don't normally like to wear my tinfoil hat, but this one does make my conspiracy antenna go up a little bit.

Let's suppose that Richardson is talking to someone, and maybe that someone said "I want all my own staff."

If that were so, then this could be seen as negotiating ploy.

(if you buy into that sort of thing)

Could we be going 3-4? And why not leave Hurney in place until the new coach is signed and contracts are worked out? Am I missing something?

Perfect timing..this way their will be no delays in the interviewing process..

At first the timing sounded weird to me, but I think you're right.

Cause keep in mind too, a lot of Colleges are wrapping up their seasons today too.

Could've just fired him two years ago instead of waiting two years but I guess that would have been too expensive for JR?

Also they could announce this right after the game and still have no delay with the interviewing process.

I'm curious who the next team is that'll sign our high quality Qb coach.

[Mr. Scot]

There's no indication we're going 3-4, and Marty Hurney is not included as part of John Fox's staff.

[Saint J]

wade phillips is bringing the 3-4, everette brown will be his demarcus ware.

Could always make a huge trade for Haynesworth before we switch to a 3-4 defense, just for sh1ts and giggles.

[Jangler]

This screams Bill Cowher to me.

3-4 will set us back even further. We could run a hybrid scheme but an all 3-4 is a no go imo.

And then all of a sudden there's the media mouthpiece of the Panthers who is saying this...

Bodog.com lists odds at 5/1 that Panthers land both Harbaugh and Luck. That's a reasonable bet.

Not sure on the first part, fairly certain on the second. RT @panther1gb89 Is Harbaugh a JR guy? Really think he'll go after him?

This is gonna be an interesting off-season!

Hell, it's going to be an interesting 3-5 years.

I am sure that the during this time of transition, the Huddle will implode and explode a few times. It's going to be the closest thing to the Big Bang theory that we'll ever see.

reminder guys, firing all the staff doesn't mean they can't be interviewed by the new HC.

So when will the time come for a new owner?
