Panic Mode:

John Fox (Chicago Bears)

He was brought in to turn around the Bears organization quickly. Instead he’s given them more of what they thought they left behind with Marc Trestman. Now John Fox is very much under the microscope and stands the prospect of being fired from his third head coaching job in a span of six years. His failure to discipline players, poor relationship with the media and age (61) are all working against him now.

Rex Ryan (Buffalo Bills)

The stipulation was clear enough. Win or run the risk of losing his job. Rex Ryan was not hired by the current ownership. So unless he gave them a reason to keep him, it was apparent they have their own ideas about how the franchise should be run. It looked like the Bills were responding to that urgency but have since lost a series of bitterly close games. With New England and Miami surging, it looks like Rex is on his last legs.
