Fired for winning?

[DwightShrute]

Sure looks that way. The Patriots beat the Bills today, they go from having the 1st overall pick in the draft, to the 4th.

That's why the HC was fired right? The owner can deny it but we know.

Kraft said “For me, personally, this was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I have known Jerod for 17 years." If that's true, then I doubt he would have done it right after the game. He would have waited until at least tomorrow.

Good insight, Dwight. Tells me that he has the replacement lined up. Vrabel?

I think you're spot-on. Owners don't want to pickup these meaningless wins in mop-up games.

[darrell74]

Who the phuck are they gonna get?
Vrabel?
Gruden?
Not a lot of big coaching names out there?

do you think its possible that if they lost and got the #1 overall pick, he would still be the HC next season?

Maybe Saban will give it another go

I think so. Yes.

Remember when Flores complained about Ross trying to tank? Flores cashed every pay-check...and THEN ratted out Ross. These owners don't like this BS.

I think Mayo was out either way. The Patriots were very undisciplined with penalties and other mistakes the whole season. When those sort of problems persist it falls on the coach.

Mayo is who he is, a good DC minded coach, not ready yet for prime time.
Mayo is a good defensive coach, I have to give credit where credit is due.

I have an idea, I'll buy Daboll a one-way first-class ticket from Newark International, to Logan International.

Daboll has worn out his welcome in NYC, many here will never forgive Daboll and Schoen for giving away Barkley for a box of rocks.

TO THE EAGLES OF ALL TEAMS

NYG send Daboll to the Patriots, and we coax Parcells back to the Meadowlands.

Kliff Kingsbury?

[str]

I can't make myself buy what Kraft is selling.

That might be unfair but that is what it feels like too me.

[stevenash]

Kliff Kingsbury?

Kliff did a pretty good job as OC with Texas Tech and The Houston Cougars.
I'd be fine with him calling the plays for the NYG, as long as Daboll is run out of town by midnight.

Kliff is a cradle to the grave good old Texas boy.
Born in Texas, raised in Texas, went to HS and college in Texas.
Two things about Texas.

1) They grow everything bigger in Texas.

2) In Texas a male is considered gay if he likes women better than football

Do you know the back story about the Doobie Brothers epic tune "China Grove"?
Tom Johnston (the genius song writer for The Doobies) broke the song down for us in attendance at MSG some years back.

Way cool story.

Sometimes it's not the coach but just the lack of talent and players. Just saying.....

That’s exactly what the pats were
Mayo had no talent to work with.
