The tenure of John Fox as coach of the Carolina Panthers is over. Fox and the Panthers have had kind of an agreeable parting of the ways. Fox came to Carolina following a 1-15 season and turned them into a Super Bowl contender.
The Panther franchise has been going down hill ever since the five inteception game by Jake Delhomme and the expensive resigning of 17. Sometimes management decisions effect the product on the field more than the coach does and the Panthers stuck with Jake about three years too long.
Fox won more games than he lost while at Carolina and will land on his feet quickly whether as a head coach somewhere for another team floundering or as a defensive Coordinator. All Panther fans should give Fox a standing ovation as he took the Panthers to a Super Bowl in which they were tied with less than two minutes to play and just might have won it all if it weren't for a kickoff sailing out of bounds and Tom Brady having great field position.
Last night the ACC in prime time goes down hard again. Trailing 13-12 at the half the Hokies of Virginia Tech laid a second half goose egg while looking lost on defense against Andrew Luck who just might be the next Carolina Panther quarterback. Stanford beat the Gobblers 40-12.
The ACC is now 4-4 with one game to go this Bowl season with Boston College left to play sometime before the 4th of July. You know I can understand the BCS championship game being the last Monday after January 1st but college football lasting until the middle of winter has got to go. The ACC as far as wins and losses have been as good as anybody this bowl season but it seems the ACC continues to lose the Prime time games and in the long run the nation doesn't care about over all record just what you did in front of the world. There the ACC has been horrendous.
