This is a breaking story so there is not a lot known at the moment. From what I've been able to gather Fox was on a golf course in Charlotte when he experienced symptoms of a heart attack while on the golf course:

At first it was thought that he had a heart attack, but that was not the case:

Talked to Coach Fox a few minutes ago. Did not have a heart attack. Is in good spirits and undergoing additional testing at hospital.

According to a reporter with the Denver Post Fox is going to have surgery and will miss some time:

John Fox will have heart surgery Monday or Tuesday. He will be out minimum of 2 weeks, up to 2 months. Jack Del Rio likely interim.

There are some football-related implications here for sure, but they do not matter. The only thing that does is the health of Coach Fox.

Prayers are with you Coach. Get well soon.
