In his previous two stops as a head coach, he’s been able to turn losers into winners in short order. He may have met his match with this bunch.
Is John Fox treating this as the last stop on the way to retirement? Has this veteran coach lost touch with today’s players? Are his methods compatible with the current CBA which limits contact and practice time?
Fox has never been known as the best game day coach. He admitted that in hindsight he’d challenged the crucial spot on the Texans quarterback sneak that gave the Texans a crucial first down:
"“At the time if I had the ability to see what people get to see at home, with yellow lines and blue lines and all the things … I think … we might have won it,” Fox said. “Hindsight, I wish I would have challenged it.”"
Foxy’s group hasn’t been up to par since he got here. It could just be a question of the talent he’s been given.
