Fox may not be the answer here. But Gase doesn't look any better. Certainly his offense looked like a joke last night.
It was always tough to gauge Gase here since he had Manning for a QB and McCoy had him for a year too before leaving for SD and he's struggled to win big there. Makes it tough to figure even who is a good coach these days and whose not. Based on experience though I'm still putting Fox in my NOT category.
I agree that it's tough to win without talent but the best teams always seem to draft and develop great talent. That is on the GM and the HC and his staff so when it's not working fans have every right to ask they be held accountable for the results of their efforts. Keeping a bad HC or manager like the Sox have done with Ventura gets you nowhere.
But I also agree that if you intend to fire someone it should be for someone better just like I say the same about moving on from Cutler. Already there are columns saying Hoyer did well against Dallas when comparing the protection he had to that Cutler had isn't even close so it's an apples to onions kind of comparison as usual.
If they're gonna decide to blow it up and start over then yeah, if they can get decent draft capital for Cutler go ahead and trade him. But then they put themselves even more in the hot seat if whoever they replace him with also fails and Cutler ends up doing well elsewhere like trading BM and replacing him with KW.
No matter how you slice it the job Fox and Pace were hired to do is not getting done. The massive number of injuries are only a part of the reason and the majority of those besides Cutler are affecting the defense more than the offense and yet it's the offense that can't produce at all. It's harder to judge the defense when they're as injured as they are and the TOP ratio is so woefully out of whack.
Fox likes to say he sees progress but again it's like the emperors new clothes. He might get a few to see slivers of it but all you have to do is watch a game to know it's no more than false hope suggested by a guy trying to save his job and his rep. I don't own any rose colored glasses. Mine see what they see and what they see is pitiful.
