i'm sure he'll blame the players or another coach for this.

 

Beat me to it you summa bish...:icon_cheesygrin:

 

All I can say is, about damn time.

 

everyone knew it was his last chance this season surprised this didnt happen sooner

 

After last weekends debacle...yeah...no way they couldn't fire him. He has ALWAYS been overrated as a head coach.

 

Stick with Andy Reid or take Jack Del Rio in Philly?

 

It's about damn time. Shoulda happened years ago

 

I'm still wondering how Del Rio lasted as long as he did in Jacksonville.

Del Rio will make someone a great DC/

 

This.

 

:fu08:

 

His defense was good but the offense was just atrocious, but throwing your staff under the bus to make yourself not accountable is reason enough to fire your coach. It's his job to call timeouts not the offensive coordinators job and to blame him is just wrong. He, like Singletary need to know their roles and not become head coaches.

 

Rio had really dirty knees.

 

Horrible Head Coach and a horrible person, couldn't have happened to a nicer coach.

 

i thought the owner just said this was not the time ??? huh?

anyway, this is probably about 2 years late.

 

Kinda like a "What's Grosser Than Gross" question...:icon_thumright:
