Perry Fewell is an impressive guy and could coach his way into a permanent job

He did well with the Bills given their lack of talent in 2009

 

no. fug that poo

 

we need a clean start with a competent HC candidate

 

Steve Wilks was supposed to be that guy and HE WAS ASS

I wanted this to happen, but DAMN during the season?

[Carl Spackler]

Wish Ron the best. We have four playoff appearances, three NFC South titles and a Super Bowl appearance with him at the helm and he deserves credit and respect for that. Equally, however, this was a decision that needed to be made. The message was no longer working.

I wanted it to work for years but it was always a series of missed opportunities.

Scott Turner is the OC.  Lmao.

Tepper said this.  Music to my ears. 
 

“Our vision is to find the right mix of old-school discipline and toughness with modern and innovative processes. 

This is all that most of us were asking of Ron. You can keep your old school mentality and still innovate.

Chicago, probably.

Still the best Head Coach this organization has ever had. Thank you Coach Rivera. Marty is probably next. 

Not sure about Cam's future now. Ace Boogie probably plays his last year out and new head coach/ New GM gets their guy. 

If Cam plays a full season healthy next year then he gets a new deal.

Something happened in the last few days that Rivera was asked to do which he refused otherwise he would have coached out the season.

Where are the ones that said Tepper was no different than JR now that they put that big foot in their mouths.

[Palmetto]

He seems like one of those guys that never gets another HC job

The wording in regards to the GM makes me think that Hurney isn't going anywhere and that makes me a sad panda

Yeah, and as long as he remains GM I'll remain skeptical and expect mediocrity.  Makes no sense to keep him.  Clean the whole house, Tepper, don't half ass it.
