CHARLOTTE, N.C. — John Fox had time for anyone who wanted an autograph on a recent outing at Quail Hollow Club. Playing in the Wells Fargo Tournament’s Pro-Am, the former Panthers, Broncos and Bears coach was as jovial as ever with his hoarse voice and rosey cheeks.
Fox played in a group with pro Jamie Loveluck, and the foursome shot 59 to place just outside the top-three (the winners shot 56). Fox bought a home at Quail Hollow, situated in south Charlotte, during his nine-year run as the coach of the Panthers.
Fox is one of only three coaches to reach the Super Bowl as an NFC and AFC champion, the others being Dan Reeves and Bill Parcells.
