I would probably get banned from Acme Packers for speaking such blasphemy out loud, so I will say it here. John Fox deserves to be coack of the year this year. It does not matter if he finishes 8-8 and missed the playoffs or 11-5 and wins the super bowl. John Fox has some more with his players than anyone else has in the last 25 years.
