John Fox says he's 'not worried about job security' after embarrassing Week 10 loss

John Fox has been an absolute failure as the Chicago Bears head coach over the last two-and-a-half seasons. His record in the Windy City now stands at 12-29 after a humiliating loss to backup quarterback Brett Hundley and the struggling Green Bay Packers.

Despite the loss to the franchise’s most hated rival, Fox insists he’s not worried about his job security.

Fox’s laid-back approach may be because he already knows his fate. There’s no chance the 62-year-old retread coach will be back for a fourth season in 2018, especially not with general manager Ryan Pace inching closer to the hot seat as he enters Year 2 with a quarterback he handpicked in the first round.

Pace’s job could be on the line next season if the Bears don’t take a significant step forward, under a new coaching staff, with a roster that’s been almost entirely constructed by him and his front office full of college and pro scouts.

First things first. Fox and every one of his assistants must begin coaching with the same kind of urgency they expect from their players. The NFL is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league, and that includes its coaches.

In Fox’s case, all he’s done lately is lose games.

Just like I'm not worried about someone stealing my Mercedes. I have no Mercedes to steal and Focks has no job security to lose. Focks appears at his presser.

But I really cannot think of an OC or DC that was let go mid season either. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

Oh then you have listened to him speak. I kinda like his response today about the challenge.

“I probably would not challenge that if I were given the opportunity again,” Fox said. “And we’ll leave it at that.”

Yeah John and a couple thousand folks would have opted not to sale on Titanic, JFK wouldn't have gone to Dallas, and a whole lot more people wouldn't have voted from Trumpty Dumpty. Your 20/20 hindsight is no match for us Foxy. We bow to your superior "looking back on it now" intellect.

I should have posted it, but I read an article that stated that in the replay it was obvious that he lost control of the ball (even he admitted it). So the speculation was that there was no way the coaches providing advice to Fox after seeing the replay were recommending him to challenge. The conclusion was that it was Fox's decision and on him. No way to prove it, but it sounds like pretty sound logic.

Unfortunately even more damning to Fox.

And yet he claims the guys in the booth concurred. I don't see how once they saw the replay unless they just didn't have the guts to be firm about it.

If you want to know the truth I think Focks figured he'd challenge to buy time to decide what plays to call down there. He figures if he loses the worst that can happen is he gets charged with a time out he'd have taken any way just to decide what goal line package to go with. The best case is it's over turned and he doesn't have to decide what to do because it's a TD.

Not once did it ever even dawn on him that the replay might have resulted in a turnover itself. That thought never occurred to him and you can almost see it in his reaction and post call reactions. By then he knew he'd missed that.

The game is over for him period. It's past him by in every way possible. He can't even think on his feet out there any longer so when the team looks for game day leadership it's just not there. Come January I expect GMcC and Pace will find some graceful way out of this by maybe letting him resign. Up 'til yesterday he really thought he had a shot at saving his job but as of today he knows it done. You could hear it in his voice.
