I think just as important the deficiencies in his coaching that Elway saw have followed him here. When I read quotes like that after game 15 this year and game 31 overall I have to ask when does it start? You've had two years.

''It's not a matter of whether or not guys want to win or not,'' Fox said on Monday. ''It's executing well enough to win, so I think the intentions are good, our effort's good. Where we have work to do is execution.''

''I think the details of some of those pass plays, whether it's receiver depths, pass protection, a quarterback's reads, where they start and where they finish - that's kind of been our demise all season, I think with the number of guys you roll through the starting lineup,'' Fox said. ''So it was more detail oriented, and that in turn affects your execution. Those would be things we'd have to work on for sure, as a football team and not just one position. And we've got one more opportunity this season to work on it.''

So now it seems he's asking for the 32nd time to be patient until they can get their execution down. The Marines receive 13 weeks of basic training to prepare them for battle so how come after two full offseasons and 31 games some of our guys still can't execute at positions they've played since HS?

I think he will get his time. What I am not sure of is how it will go. I have always thought of Fox as an average coach that surrounded himself with excellent co-ordinators who got the job done for him. If he can do it again, he will look better next year and he will be given the credit and he will stay. He may also be given more power and given his numb nuts tendencies, might end up looking almost as bad next year. If Pace gives him a lot more talent next year as I expect he will, he had better deliver and I suspect he will.

The question is whether or not he will deliver to the level of the talent he will be given or whether he will just do better and be evaluated more on progress rather than what should be delivered with the tools given. Definitely some interesting times ahead.

No doubt and starting next week I hope. I want to hear from GMcC and Pace before I hear from anyone. If neither is willing to make changes that so obviously need to be made then it would seem to me that some form of limitations or goal needs to addressed that goes beyond that "happy horseshit" Pace just laid on us. I like the guy but basically it looks like they're turning him into one of them and he's not becoming his own man.

If you like Elway's approach my brother you can bet that he would not go into an interview with all that Mr Rodgers "won't you be my neighbor" crap about how happy we're all gonna be once we see a bunch of young players we can win with forever. Call me "old school" if you like but this is the same stuff I've heard for 30 years. Hard times call for hard words and even harder actions and I think it's well past the time that we saw a little of that from all of them.

I still have hope for Pace, under very difficult conditions he has done good work in FA. So, it really sucks if Fox gets another year as it just eats into whatever life Pace has with this team.

This division is garbage and we have struggled over the last four years to find wins against Detroit.
