Sheesh, I really don't get it. If his job was already tenuous, why should this be the final straw? Obviously he had no idea. Obviously, the team is going to struggle to get a positive record let alone the playoffs this year. This isn't his fault.
The mindset certainly has changed over the years. Coaches used to be given every chance to help a team succeed. The longer a coach was on a team, typically, the better they could do. Now, a coach is often fired for sneezing at the wrong time.
If nothing else, he should be given every chance to make this team work NEXT year, after the team recovers from this mess. Why this should be the thing that gets him fired is baffling. A franchise player that loses his noodle right before training camp is hardly his fault.
Mind you, I'm not terribly displeased at any of this, being a Bronco fan.
I feel Ricky made a bad choice tho. But then, your team is probably better off in the long run without such a wonked out player on your team, regardless of what skills he has.
I sort of feel for you guys tho. I really have nothing against the team.. the only negative feelings I've had is due to your childish and annoying finatic fan who plagued our Denver board for awhile. For the rest of you.. yuck, good luck, don't lose the faith in your team!
But can anyone explain this negative trend towards coaches? I swear, they used to be respected. Now it seems they are fearing their own shadow, worried they will be fired. Only a few coaches are so solid that their owners wouldn't consider firing them, regardless of a bad year or two.. or they have their owners full support. I feel just as bad for Wanny as for the fans.
Excepting of course, finatic. :tongue:
Good luck this year, you'll definately need it!
