2009 is Fox's "Put up or Shut up" season....

Is it John Fox's last season with the Panthers?

With Marty, Holmgren, Shanahan, Gruden, Billeck, and Cowher all sitting on the sidelines, this season is a "ALL IN" for Fox.

Thats a hell of a Super Bowl winning Coach bank to draw from.

With the Panthers never having back to back winning seasons and the huge let down in the playoffs Fox knows he needs to deliver.

One thing is certain, If I was wanting to make a coaching change, 2010 would be the year to do it.

...We will see.

I don't think so. If injuries cause the season to crumble I think he'll be here. If we do get a new coach it will have to be someone who doesn't overhaul the whole system. We've got the talent to go far for a while. I like Marty and Billeck, I think Cowher is a bit overrated. However I'd like Fox to take us to a couple superbowls so I'd be happy to stick with him.

well if we go super bad like 6-10 or less, fox is on the first bus out of town

if we do 7-9 to 10-6 and miss the playoffs i think one more seson better win

If we make the playoffs and do poorly again....one more season better win

If we win the super bowl.....well i guess he is going to be around for a few more years

Fox is the ideal coach for this team and managment loves him. I don't see fox leaving until the team puts together two crummy seasons in a row.

I'd venture a guess that he is safe this year even if the team finished with 3-4 wins. Due to the fact that he turned the 1-15 team around in a two year span.

    • I’ve rewatched it a few times. Impressive.   Rolls out about 5-6 steps, flicks his wrist, all arm, never even set his feet. Flick… All the way across the field from the 47 to the 24… perfect spiral… and dropped it in the bucket for Sanders. That had to of been 40 yards in the air? He looked so natural doing it.  All teams have that play in their book, but when run, it’s so ugly. Complete duck. Uncomfortable.  This guy is a weapon. There aren’t many non-QBs in the league make that throw and make it look so natural. He looked completely comfortable. I hope they draw up more plays for him like that. 
    • The information about knee pain is significant, and if true and depending on the extent, I have changed my approach to the Moton issue.  First, his performance has not dropped off but Moton has never been elite--he has been solid and dependable--maybe our best player over the past 5 years.  However, extending a big man with knee issues is VERY risky--the question is not "if" it is "when."  The "Left Tackle is more important that Right Tackle" argument is not valid any more.  Watt, Bosa, Crosby, etc. prefer rushing from the RT side--Bosa had this to say about rushing when he is not on the blind side:  "“When it’s right there, you don’t really even have to completely get off your block . You can kind of just reach over and knock it out sometimes.”  Getting a hand on the ball and stripping it is easier than getting off a block and tackling the QB, so the most destructive pass rushers in the NFL play defensive left tackle. Having said that, Moton is incredibly important, but extending him may seem risky--HOWEVER--most big men who have played OL in the NFL for a decade have knee soreness---I have not seen a major problem in his history: Week 17, 2024: Moton missed the Panthers' loss to Tampa Bay due to a knee issue. He didn't practice during the week and was considered doubtful for the game. Week 2, 2024: Moton experienced knee sorenes 2019: Moton had a questionable knee injury.  Is Brady Christensen good enough to start at RT in the NFL?  If not, I think the solution is to extend Moton with less guaranteed money and add a young RT through the draft or free agency.  Cade Mays' performance means that C is not something we MUST address, so a depth, developmental RT is smart.  Furthermore, we still have Nijman on the roster, and he played RT for Moton during the Tampa Bay game--he was not good, however. If you do not have a LT, RT, and a swing T who can hold his own in the NFL, your roster is not complete.      
    • I Never harped on the batted balls as much as his other concerns. The thing is qbs who can drive a ball with velocity tend throw it at a lower trajectory anyway so that leads to more bats. Bryce passes are more loft oriented so they have a high arc when leaving his hands. Those are just harder to bat.
