NeverOutNick Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Please merge if this has been posted but just saw John Fox got hired. He’s a pretty good coach. Bring some experience I like the hire. Got a good mix of young and old in the building 11 1 6 1 Quote
jkeerie Posted February 13 Posted February 13 He'll be a nice advisor with a wealth of coaching experience. 9 6 1 Quote
JohnnyCash Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Any overlap where Leonhard and Fox were together? Quote
DapperCam Posted February 13 Posted February 13 More experience on the staff is a good thing 1 9 1 Quote
gonzo1105 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Looks like a Beane connection. No previous overlap with Brady and Leonard. Fits the hybrid 3-4 that Leonhard is going to run. Didn't realize he was 71. Man time flies. 1 Quote

Ralonzo Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Wasn't he like the McDermott of the Broncos where they had to fire him to win the Super Bowl? 8 3 1 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hmm, I’m kinda just ok with this considering Fox was Denver’s version of McDermott. He took them deep into the playoffs every year but couldn’t get it done. Then they fired Fox and brought in Kubiak and immediately won the SB with the new coach…. 2 1 1 Quote
BillsSbSoon Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I like this move a lot. Hes going to help Leonard put together the defense while also being a mentor to him and Brady. This is solid 8 Quote

I honestly didn’t realize he was still out there and active. 1 Quote
The Jokeman Posted February 13 Posted February 13 9 minutes ago, Steptide said: Has he done anything in recent years? He was a senior defensive assistant in Detroit in 2023 per his Wiki On February 28, 2023, it was announced that Fox was hired by the Detroit Lions to be their senior defensive assistant.[44] In February 2024, it was announced that he would not return to the Lions for the 2024 season https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fox_(American_football) 3 1 Quote
PonyBoy Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Maybe Fox can be like Wade Phillips and win a SB as a coordinator i.e. Denver 2015, but never as a head coach 🤞 2 2 Quote
GunnerBill Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I like that hire. Have felt they needed a former HC on the staff for Brady to lean on as much as anything. 15 12 Quote
