Panthers Coach Makes Theisman’s List

Carolina Panthers coach John Fox has made3 Joe Theisman’s lists of five coaches on the hot seat this year.  Congratulations to John.  He joins the likes of Jack Del Rio of Jacksonville, Romeo Crennel out of Cleveland, John Gruden in Tampa Bay, and Tom Coughlin in New York.  Vegas should run odds on these guys keeping their jobs.  They really should.  Who wouldn’t want action on this?  Del Rio is probably 3:1 to lose his job by the end of the season.  Romeo Crennel has got to be 3:1 too, unfair as that is.  Gruden is probably 7:1 to lose his job now that he has Jeff Garcia under center.

Fox has got to be the biggest favorite to keep his job.  His teams tend to have one off year, then one really great year, then another off year.  They certainly have all the talent in place, and they team seems very optimistic about the coming season.  We’ll put Fox at 10:1 to lose his job.  I don’t think it’s happening.  I think Fox will be back after this season.

Tom Coughlin is 100:1 to keep his job all season.  I’ve got action on a Week 11 forced resignation in my office’s pool.
