Next year is win-win.

[God]

If we do good and go to the playoffs, sure, that is a win.

If we lose and don't go to the playoffs, Jake and Fox are gone .

Can't wait for the season to start!

All these people calling for Fox's head are killing me. The man gave us the franchise we now argue over being contenders. Am I the only one that remembers what it was like before Fox?

[Sam Mills Fan]

I Am God, you forgot about the nightmare scenario. We go 7-9 and everything stays the same after yet another wasted year.

Nothing says "contender" like not having consecutive winning seasons ever.

Not exactly sure it works out that way.

...our standards as a franchise are pretty low, expectation-wise.

Seriously. He's the best HC in the history of our franchise. He took over a 1-15 team and we've never been below 7-9 since and have been in the playoff hunt every year.

If Cowher comes knocking that's one thing, but otherwise who exactly are we going to get that's better?

[Jangler]

3-13 then we can get Madden! Win Win Win!

[Lone Buc Fan]

Yup and the best part about it, I'll be here whether the Bucs win the division or not and whether Carolina beats them or not. It'll be more satisifying to hear everyone continue to make excuses why their team is so awesome and still no Super Bowl ring.

The Panthers now remind me of the old Buffalo Bills, aside the whole multiple super bowl appearances and the whole multiple consecutive winning seasons lol...

imo, this coming year is the last chance he has. good timing since his contract runs out at the end of it.

get our guys winning again or we'll get someone who can.

You're right... my bad. Fox is a terrible coach. You're ignorant. The most stability this franchise has had is under Fox, and it looks to be headed in an even better direction. Solid OL with continuity, stellar power running game, good special teams, solid D with a need of a little touching up. And consistantly better drafting and handling of personnel. But really, lets just can everyone and hope they can do a better job

[R0CKnR0LLA]

That "not having consecutive winning seasons" is a joke. I guess it's Fox's fault that in '04 we had our top FIVE RBs on IR, or in '07 we had FOUR starting QBs. Fox should really coach our players not to get injured a little better.

Look at those years. With the injuries we had about a good a record as you could possibly hope for. Fox held the team together and still managed to bring us within a game or two of the playoffs.

he may be the best that we have had but is he the best we could have?

he has one more year to get us our ring or at least make us legit contenders. demanding that he gets us more than one winning season in a row is not too much to ask and something that the panthers, JR, and the fans deserve. if fox can't deliver that then we need to get someone who can.

Ok. You are in LOVE with the guy. Maybe have a little bit of a man crush on him even. There is nothing wrong with that.

But using the word stability is an unbelievable stretch unless of course you are referring to stability in the sense of perpetually and consistently average.

If so then cheers to Fox...by your standards of course.
