John Fox Will Be Fired, Rumored Replacement Named Says NFL I

Why? Nobody is expecting to win a SB, but this type of Play isn't what we all wanted and expected. Fox wasn't even liked by most when we hired him. He is .3 as Bears HC, if he loses his last 2 games he will be .28 and the 2nd worst HC in the history of our Team. There is nothing more to defend with this type of record.

Here's the thing with that...players know the game, and unlike us players know the calls being made. If he were as bad as you seem to think he is, why would he still have the players behind him, playing hard for him? Just a thought...maybe we don't know all that we think we know. A players job is to execute, and when that doesn't happen fans often blame the call instead of blaming the actual responsible party. From my experience as a coach there were lot's of times I made the correct call, but the execution was poor, and of course vice versa.

You missed the point I was trying to get at. If I'm a player, and I know the game, then I know when a bad call is being made on game day, and that is likely to change my opinion of the coach. If said coach continually makes bad calls during games I am likely to not want to play for said coach...which is oddly the opposite of what we're supposedly seeing here. Further, players are pretty open these days about questioning play calling...we see it all the time...except for here. Just some things to think about.

That or the fact that Fox has shown he will get rid of players who don't toe his little line. I'm willing to bet that once Fox is gone the stories will start flying, same as they did in Denver. Fox tried, in the middle of Manning's record setting season, to get the OFF to become more conservative. Is it any wonder that Elway gave Fox the heave-ho?
