Did John Fox take a swipe at the Panthers?

[Mr. Scot]

Darin Gantt believes he did.

 

Of course, Fox also got a subtle dig at his previous employer when asked if he’s a better coach now, or whether he just has better players than when he coached the Panthers in this game 10 years ago.

“I had good players in Carolina. I think that was the only Super Bowl they’ve ever been to,” he said. “It was a great team, great locker room, as you’d expect. I think all these are different. This time of year from now, I’ll have a completely different team. It’s just the way of the National Football League. Coaches change teams. Players change teams.

“I’m just really soaking this one in. It’s a great bunch. I’m very proud of this bunch, just like I was with the Carolina team. So I’ve enjoyed, really, all my football teams and I think you get better. I think the more experience, or the more you do it, the better you get. You should, whether it’s your job or my job.”

Fox obviously takes pride in being the only Panthers coach to get to the Super Bowl (though there have only been four of them, and two of the others have been to the playoffs). But the way his career there ended, with a messy lame-duck contract situation leading to his departure, guarantees that he’ll always enjoy working little tweaks like that into his press conferences.

Gantt is a fuging moron.

 

He's awful. Gantt is a bitter old man. He and Bill Voth can both eat sh1t and die as far as I'm concerned.

If Fox did he has good reason.  He did not exactly leave on the best of terms, but he kept his mouth shut then.

Bill voth seems fine to me, idk what he's done to you though lol

[Growl]

This is nothing more than Gantt continuing his now 4 year long tantrum that we cut his bestie 4eva.

Dude has pouted about everything we've done since a lot of his ole palaroonies rightfully got the axe. Believe he referred to us as winning "our Super Bowl" about four different times this year.

Guy is a chump

I'm not really sensing any sort of jab at the Panthers. I'm usually pretty good at picking up on snarky comments from people. Those comments Jon Beason made a week or two after he was traded to the Giants about playing on national TV was absolutely a jab at the Panthers - these from Fox...eh not so much. 

[TheMaulClaw]

I don't think John Fox is doing anything wrong.  I think he just trying to be professional.  He lives in Charlotte, and up until this point he's the best coach we've ever had.   I don't blame him however for not living in the past when his team is in the Superbowl.  We've gotten lucky that Rivera has worked out, but JR canned the wrong guy....should have been Hurney all along.

[SOJA]

errr don't really see the dig, think Gantt is just stirring the pot

[micnificent28]

I don't really see the swipe. he was just be honest if you ask me.
