Journal FortKnox's Journal: I'm switching occupations... 16
Screw being a Java developer! I'm gonna be an NFL head coach! You can too! There is enough openings....
Arizona, New York, Buffalo, Washington, Chicago, Oakland, Atlanta, possibly New Orleans...
McGinnis shouldn't have been fired, IMHO. He was a GREAT coach, just never had tallent, and the GM just made poor decisions. Imagine what type of coach he'll be like if he HAD talent (listen up, Atlanta, you WANT him).
Jim Haslette shouldn't be canned. He's the first coach to bring New Orleans to the post season, and has done better than ANY coach of the past in New Orleans.
It'd be nice to see Dick LeBeau handling defensive coordinator duties again (maybe if Tim Lewis gets a head coaching job?).
Now is the time for all the college and pro football writers to look up how Spurrier said how the fun'n'gun would revolutionize NFL football, and how he'd create lopsided scores with it...
I hope Warren Sapp doesn't have a job next year cause he overprices himself (won't happen, but its still a wish) :-P

Now....I'm kinda excited for the first time in a long time.
Grossman looked pretty damned good in his first two outings. (in the last one he got hurt in the second quarter, they put in Kordell with a K, final result, Bears 3, Chiefs 9,124,003)
Anyway.
That's the deal.

Guaranteed.
I hope Crennel and Weis aren't hired, but that's probably hoping for too much. As long as the Patriots keep Belichick and Pioli, the dynasty should continue.

Coaching college is not the same as coaching in the pros, for any sport. Ask Mike Krechevski. The past two years have been Spurrier's education into the pros, and he will likely perform much better with whatever team he goes to next.

Boy, you had me until right there.
I mean, as an Iggles fan, that'd be great, but seriously, RayBob is not head coach material. I watched the meltdown firsthand in Philly and figured he wouldn't last in Green Bay. (He didn't).
Besides, I think Ray knows his limitations.
Also, in terms of the run and gun, the Oilers had a great running game (see George, Eddie), the problem is the lack of prot

Times like this, I really miss Marty. I mean, 8-3 is not a record to sneeze at, and from there, we went to Spurrier. *sigh*
Talk about two steps forward and one giant step back... the Redskins are now back to Square -1!

BTW, great article on the coaching carousel by Len Pasquerelli here [go.com].

You cannot write blank checks in the NFL and expect to win without a winning strategy. Marty had such a strategy, Spurrier sold Snyder that his strategy would also work, but it was unproven. I highly doubt that Snyder would have made a similar move in the boardroom with

Snyder and Jones show that Owner in that formula equal zero success on the field.
I think Fassel will need a better GM than Accorsi.
Parcells doesn't need a strong GM.
I haven't followed the Raiders enough, but they have excellent players. I'd love to see Art Shell take another run with them. I think he was doomed because of Davis's love of Shanahan.
And yes, Fassel suffered from Ti

The Bidwells are your stereotypical welfare addicts. They have learned that you can live just as well doing nothing- as you do trying. We are giving them a new stadium and have made it clear in doing so that we expect nothing in return. Oh I hate the Cardinals.
It sickens me that we ever brought them to AZ. Why couldn't people have been patient and waited for an expans
