What a classless move by the Carolina Panthers.

[Awesomeness!!]

You know what John Fox should do? Go out there, and punt the ball every 1st down. (We're going to be punting 3 plays later anyway). Obviously he has to know he was done after Sundays game, but to do this 2 days before a game is pretty classless. This isn't college football where people switch teams in week 5 or whatever. I hope the players go out there and play their hearts out for this man. They always have, and I hope they do it one last time Sunday.

So, you think there have been absolutely zero conversations between Fox, Hurney & JR on this? That Fox was totally surprised by this announcement?

I have to agree- was suprised that they chose this time to do it.

No I said he had to know we wouldn't be coming back, but to do it 2 days before the mans last game is pretty tasteless imo.

For the most part it seems that Jerry and John has significant respect for each other. I believe JR respects what John fox has done and trust him.

I think that Fox is a very high character and his players does and will play Sunday with focus and dedication. For JR it is simply business, and he knows Fox is still going to do his best coaching on Sunday.

Plus Fox all ready knew this day was coming... so it's not like a blindside on Survivor (Shout out to Nance & Huddle Survivor... I enjoyed watching that game).

Fox knew this was it....long ago. JR's statement was classy. This is about the future of the team.

They're just announcing it so it's known. It was either going to be handled like this, or he was just going to be fired without any sort of announcement after the season. Not a big deal.

I'm going to this game, so it'll be nice to see Fox's last game and hopefully everyone plays their hearts out for the guy.

Do what? He only announced what everybody (with the possible exception of you) already knew.
