Fox, Smith Seek Quick Turnarounds

When John Fox arrived in Charlotte in 2002 for his first NFL head coaching gig, he inherited a Carolina Panthers team that had gone 1-15 the year before. The Panthers improved to 7-9 in Fox's first year and were in the Super Bowl by his second. The Denver Broncos team that Fox took over in 2011 had gone 4-12 the previous season; they improved to 8-8 in 2012, 13-3 the next season and were in the Super Bowl at the end of Year Three.
