not really, as soon as elway left the broncos sucked. they went to the playoffs 4 times from 99-08.

those are john fox kinda numbers right there. he did however make the playoffs three years in a row from 03-05, something foxy never did. so i would say that his time post elway was slightly better than fox's tenure at carolina due to the back to back to back playoff seasons.

Shanny had 5 consecutive winning seasons and only had 1 losing season in his last 9 years. That is pretty consistant for not having a great QB.

those are in no way John Fox numbers. John never once won back to back seasons. Shanny put 5 winning seasons in a row together. That isn't slightly better than Fox. I will take someone who wins consistantly over someone who rarely on occasion has 1 postseason where the team got a little farther.

Over the years we have had some of the best talent in the NFL. Much of it at the same time. But we had FOX and Henning. I blame DAn Henning for much of the offensive woes because given everything he had he still couldn't put together a play book that was thicker than a dime store comic; and even a worse read. Fox kept him. What ground my gears most about Fox was walking off the field at the half with 30+ seconds left on the clock with time outs and downs. Like we didn't need 3 points. This year was just sabotaged. Well at least we got a first round pick. Everyone says a QB pick. Fine. But if they don't put an O-Line in front of him and the backs they better get two of everything.

Fox is a great head coach his players love to play for him he has never had the talent he needed and injuries have been a huge issue also so that sucks he loses his job here we all know who really need to lose his job(Hurney) with the whole J-Pep thing and extending Jake so get off Fox and plus Fox cant get out there and play

Jeff Fisher sucks, stop trying to blame his QB who aint played in weeks. Vince Young will be back in Tenn next season, Fisher wont. Andrew Luck is a "Todd Marinovich" type QB.

Funny how KT has to bring up Luck even when no one has mentioned him in this thread.

Obsess much? Dance that jig KT. :lol:

Kinda like you bringing up Cam Newton outta nowhere in the Panthers-Falcons game day thread. That burden and guilt you carry must be enormous. :yesnod:

Mine was a joke, you were serious.

Keep dancing. We know how obsessed you are about Luck being drafted instead of your boy. :lol:

Fox is a very good HC. His teams were always competivie and he has made it to the SB and two NFC Title games. Coupled with the right FO he will be successful. It isn't just the media that fills this way.

I agree. Fox isn't the greatest coach there is, but he isn't the worst. He will clearly be a new coach with a different team asap. Look at Eric Mangini. He was terrible with the Jets & he was fired, but yet Browns hired him after he was available. Fox is better than him & he will get a head coach job right away. It could be either with Chargers (Norv Turner isn't all that great) or Giants if they fired Coughlin after this season.
