What does Broncos' hiring of Fox say about Panthers?

[top dawg]

What, if anything, does Denver's hiring of John Fox say about the Panthers as an organization? Many analysts agree that Denver is one of the top coaching jobs in the NFL, so John Fox is arguably in a much better situation today than he was three weeks ago. Large media market, large fan base, rich history, beautiful city, blah blah blah...makes Denver the place to be. What more could a coach ask for?

Now, I believed it was just time for the Panthers and Fox to part the ways, but looking at how the last couple of years have gone down, isn't there an argument that, on some level, it makes the Panthers organization even more odd than it has appeared to be the last couple of years, from the renewing of Jake's contract, the allowing of Pep to freely walk away, the refusal to deal Williams and/or Smith before the trade deadline, to the jettisoning of so many vets at key positions.

What say the Huddle?

I think the fact that Denver will be paying 3 head coaches next season......shows you they have no clue what they are doing.

[The Saltman]

I didnt see any other teams clamoring for an interview with john fox.

just saying.

Denver hasn't been a "good" job since 1999.

[Nicbsbll2]

And it would say more about our organization by re-signing a coach that had 3 winning season in 9 years than it did by letting him walk.

[Dpantherman]

nothing

[Darth Waya]

What does it say? That John Elway is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. That fact =/= knowing how to run a team. Most GMs work their way up, grinding at scouting, personnel work, etc., before getting even a sniff of running a franchise. Could Elway pull it off? Sure. It's possible. He could also be the next Matt Millen.

[Jangler]

It says we stopped buying the hype.

[Mr. Scot]

nothing

Bingo.

give that man a gold star

[CatMan72]

...and it says Denver was looking for a "safe" hire after the Josh McDaniels experience.

holla.

[hepcat]

Fox has a resume that has him getting blown out as a D-Coordinator in the Super Bowl and coming very close to winning one as a HC. 3 winning seasons out of 9 isn't that impressive...he merely offers some semblance of stability, which Denver hasn't had since Shanahan (who IMO Denver would have been better off keeping if they've turned to John Fox now)

[Actionman0z]

I am happy with who we have, happy to see Fox have a job, happy to start putting a staff that has more than just a desire to win on the football field. I really hope we start seeing a staff getting developed sooner rather than later.
