With this year's schedule if we can make it to the playoffs...there is no reason why we cant go all the way. If Fox takes us to the playoffs I think he should be extended.

I am hoping Gruden will replace him if we have a bad season.

Fox is not on any kind of hot seat. And the only way he gets there is if the Panthers totally implode and Fox loses the team...which is not likely to happen.

Just like a couple of years ago when fans and media all thought he was on the hot seat, but Jerry Richardson said after the season that he had told Fox mid year that he would be back. Sometimes fans only see a small part of the picture, but base their uncompromising opinions on that tiny bit of information.

I love Davidson, but I would almost 100% want another defensive HC.
a little early to tell, but i'm loving what meeks is doing, esp. the attitude and leadership as well as the reaction from the players.

it helps that he had been considered for a couple HC jobs as well.

if it could be someone internally it would help prevent a lot of turmoil.

Hmm the best Colts defense I ever watched was probably the 2005 version. Man those dudes were FAST and they were all on the ballcarrier like yesterday. If the Cats can play like that, I will be pretty happy. I think they were the #1 scoring defense that year. Maybe #2.

you have somethin to that ----

capers let go after 4-12

the seifert let go after 1-15

So I would agree that Fox would have to go 6-10 or something to that nature.

BUT--- With that said, Fox knows that all it takes is that 1 bad season. He hasn't built that consistency that would afford him one of those seasons.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yada, yada, yada. Once again, Fox is on the hot seat and he will be next year and the next and the next and the next...

You see where I'm going with this? Fox has NEVER been on the hot seat and isn't this year. Why can't you understand that?

I agree with you. Fox is not on the hot seat at all. In fact this year will be the one we have back to back winning records and start on the road to consistency.

i doubt that....

every coach should feel a little pressure EVERY year. This is a business, not a charity. I am sure Richardson has a great understanding of that.

      How good would the Colts have been if they traded for Bryce.  Richardson is wasting a good line and quality receivers.

      And this was with Derrick Brown having an all-time great season at DT also. Maybe this scheme was done right in Denver, but it hasn't been done right here at all in 2 years, with or without personnel. I'm willing to cut Canales some slack bc he was right in benching Bryce and has helped him develop into what looks like a guy who can be here long-term, and Dan Morgan has vouched for him too, but it's so hard to think about bringing him back after the all-time disaster this year was. Continuity be damned. Hope they are right though. This could be a playoff team with the 2nd Half of the year offense and an even average defense.

      Re: Cam As you could probably guess, his personality didn't initially mesh well with the no-nonsense special forces guys, but they respected his performance in the challenges and he's been a good "teammate" to some of the others on the show. FYI: Also appearing this season is Golden Tate, who per his own words seems to be kind of lost in his post football life.
