Agreed. I think Carolina is his first choice as has long been rumored. But, Fox has one more year on his contract. Watching NFL Total Access yesterday, it sounds like Carolina is a mess right now. From what I got:
Fox wants an extension. The team says no extension; you got one year left on your contract take it or leave it. He's saying he won't stay and be a lame duck coach. So, they're somewhat at a standstill. Seems, to me, like the team wants him to quit so they don't have to pay him for the final year. But, he's not biting.
My guess is that Cowher is holding out for the Carolina job. The question is.. how long does he hold out for it? Does he go back to CBS for a year if Fox gives in and stays? Or does he want to get back into coaching bad enough that he'll settle for Buffalo? And if he has no problem with Buffalo, but would prefer Carolina, do you sign this week in Buffalo or wait a couple to see if the Carolina job opens up?
