      Panthers took the highly unusual step of allowing HC John Fox to void last year of contract. But no offers out there better than one he has.

      via twitter.....hopefully Fox stays in Carolina....

        I saw it on ESPN as well, didnt hear much, but he is correct. Fox has been given the opprotunity to void the last year of his contract.

            Given our realistic chances of getting Cowher, I would take Fox as a consolation prize.

              If we dont get Cowher, he'd be a guy I also wouldnt mind.

                If we can't convince Cowher to come here, maybe we could talk to Fox and convince him to come here and bring his staff. Then Cowher can join the Panthers like he wants.

                  Yeah, but I dont want to be helping Cowher go elsewhere. I want him here. Step 1 would be to get a final answer on Cowher.

                    Wait a minute...nevermind! **** that! Apparently the Panthers owner is so ****ing cheap. If you want Fox to leave, just fire him dumbass! But no, he won't. So...there's no way in hell he would pay Cowher.

                      On the John Fox deal, he wouldn't void his deal unless a better offer came along. One hasn't. So for now he remains as the Panthers HC.

                        Fox isnt going anywhere without a nice long term deal.

                        But the fact the owner will allow him to void last year of the deal probably gives Cowher the motivation to have patience and wait to sit out until next year.

                        Horrible news, possibly the worst you could hear right now other than Cowher saying he's not coaching this year publicly, w hich may not be imminient

                          I thought of something very dumb, but who knows? Are the Panters trying to bait buffalo into giving up the pursuit of Cowher? Get us to bite on Fox, take him off thier hands, and in cruises Billy?

                            Wow, real scoop there Mort! The Panthers were obviously looking for Fox to either fulfill his contract, or void it so that they don't have to pay him for 2010. The only other option was a settlement, but the Panthers don't want to pay him say, half his salary for 2010, and then have to pay another coach for 2010 and beyond, especially if there's a lockout in 2011, like most fear.

                              Did Schefter say the owner was willing to let him void the last year of his deal?

                              A settlement is one thing,b ut if the owner said he can void it, then you can say goobye to Cowher for sure.
