CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- In a light atmosphere full of smiles and laughs, the Panthers held their final full practice under John Fox on Friday, with the coach insisting he's been preparing for the end of his run in Carolina for about two years.

The last workout at the Panthers' practice complex was an odd scene, with the Meineke Bowl about to kick off just a few steps away on the team's home field. Fox gathered the players around him shortly before noon, with a burst of laughter heard from players as they broke toward the locker room.

The team will hold a walkthrough Saturday before closing the season a day later at Atlanta to end Fox's nine-year stay in Carolina.

"It's been a lot of great memories, a lot of fond memories, a lot of great relationships and something I'll cherish forever," Fox said. "Now (I'll) just embark on the next chapter."

Fox was first denied a contract extension after the 2008 season. He entered the last year of his deal this fall after the Panthers began a youth movement that's left them an NFL-worst 2-13.

"It's not new," Fox said of his impending departure. "It's something I've been preparing for actually for a couple of years."

This franchise needs to learn how to take the initiative in certain situations. There was no reason to spend two more years and waste our time and his if we weren't committed to him long term, and personally I don't blame him for the way he feels.

I lost a lot of respect for him though. He is/was being paid to do a job to the best of his ability, and has no right to squander the players or the fans time with a half ass effort. I am glad.

i'm not saying he doesn't suck i'm just saying richardson not making a commitment at that point either way (fire him or extend him) doesn't help

sometimes being indecisive is even worse than making the wrong decision.

We make the same mistakes with players. Moving them when they have some value gives you a return and saves money. Hurney should have been fired for re-signing Jake to $$ NOBODY would have paid him after the Arizona game. Clinging to Colbert and Jarrett--each a year too long. DeShaun Foster with DW in the garage?

WRs that utilize speed often hit the wall by age 33. Smith will be 31 or so. Is it time to trade him? Kasay is 100. How much longer can we keep 2 kickers?
