you guys are in your 20's and 30's.......
i'm 55 and been a fin fan for 35 years. i've been saying "wait till next year", for so long now, i don't even believe it anymore.do you think i ought to wait until i have to get a super-charged walker so i can celebrate properly, bullsh!t, i wanna win now and if replacing fiedler upon occasion does it, then i'm all for it!
and so what if it creates a controversy, is wannstedt paid to coach or win votes in a popularity contest? shula made some decisions that didn't set well with the team or fans, but he made em, sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't, but most of the time they did. there was none bigger than when morrall carried the fins to the superbowl then decided to go with griese in the game itself. it worked so everybody forgot it.
most importantly, it seems like you pro-fiedler dudes have more to gain than we do. lucas could do bad or good. if he does bad, we have "i told you so" hanging over our heads. if he does good, then you get to be the benefactor of winning team. you have a win-win situation here. the bottom line is, something is broke and it won't get fixed by waiting to see if the wheels fall off again, FIX IT! at least try!
