Carolina Panthers won’t be involved in the NFL playoffs that kicked off this weekend.

Last year was not a good year for the Carolina Panthers, which finished 8-8 after rallying to win its final 3 games. After the win of the NFC South, for the Panthers this season was surely a step backward.

The 2010 will surely be a make-or-break season for Fox. He is having an inconsistent tenure by becoming the top coach of the Panthers.

The recent decision of the Panthers to announce that Fox will remain back for the final year of his contract has left Fox in something like an unfair position.

He is now surely on the hot seat.

If we remember, Fox has given earlier a number of good years also to the Panthers and this should obviously mean some kind of loyalty. In fact Fox deserves better than the last week’s lukewarm.

Though Fox did not got much thumbs-up from the management of Panthers, but he is surly been getting from his players.

This year if the players want Fox for longer then they can play better football.

This years’ offseason will be have some big questions for the Panthers. The answers to such questions will determine where the club finish next season.
