TD already engaged in contract talks

Is it too crazy to think that this had more to do with guys like Morrison and Beane leaving after being with the franchise for so long? Beane had been with the team for 19 years and after only a few years of Gettleman left for Buffalo. 

Front office turmoil usually stays behind closed doors but I'm leaning more towards that then JR firing Gettleman for not handing out fat contracts to vets.

basically

the next GM is going to be in the worst negotiating spot possible when he tries to deal with these two. "hey, here's our ridiculous contract demands, oh and by the way, the last guy that tried to play hardball with us got fired, just saying". goodluck trying to hammer out a reasonable deal under these circumstances

I wouldn't have fired Gettleman personally, at least not right now with all the uncertainty surrounding our upcoming season.

But this irrational ire toward players, and even guys like TD and Olsen as if they were actively conspiring to get Gettleman fired is really on Saints fans levels of douchebaggery. You guys need to log out for awhile.

Yeah because it's really normal for a GM to be fired 1 week away from training camp. The two of them clearly had issues and bitched to Richardson. Richardson fired Gettleman.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
