Vitt, Johnson, McMahon, Kwan, Willis FIRED

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I hate to see anyone lose their job, but their units under-performed at best. I can't say they were loaded with talent, but their results were poor. Simple as that....

Re: Vitt, Johnson, McMahon, Kwan, Willis FIRED

Boys, boys, this isn't a day for pointing fingers! This is a day for pointing the way to the door. It's a slightly belated Christmas with a little something in everybody's stockings. It's a slightly belated New Year's. We're ringing out the old and bringing in the new. (Although I've gotta say a couple of you really lost me with that Jeff Fisher comment and like...) Rejoice Who Dats, rejoice!

For me, I can finally get rid of JP's "It's the coaching stupid" quote I've had for my signature for what seems like years. Maybe I should post a poll to select my new one. We haven't had a dumb poll up for a while...

; Your story isn't over yet ;

Great news, certainly a bit late for most of our liking, but still nice to see them really shake things up.

The thread though... would be nice to see more discussion on the possibilities going forward rather than pickering about what once was.

Re: Vitt, Johnson, McMahon, Kwan, Willis FIRED

I feel like I'm coming out of a fog. Never thought I would see the crossfit mafia get broken up! Belated, but I have to admire Payton for having the guts to run the ship like the way an NFL ship should be run, where you get results or you get your pink slip. The Saints' special teams have been rolling into the Dome on Sunday mornings, wildly unprepared and freeballing, winging it by the seat of the pants, as long as Sean Payton's been loyal to McMahon. We've all seen it.

This could be the start of a big change.

I'm just worried about these guys families. It's hard on a family to be uprooted like that. I also worry about the emotional and mental toll it can take on them. Not to mention the loss of income. It's hard to start over at those guys age.

Yeah, but it comes with the territory....I've known the family of an NFL assistant coach before, and their families are sorta used to it, like a military family gets used to moving around. It's also a lot like a musician (lots of traveling, away from home) or big-time architects and contractors (like at the level of skyscrapers and churches and stuff) who go for months at a time where ever the big site is. And trust me, any ex-NFL coach can land a smaller gig (college, high school) anytime. That type of experience is very much in demand.

Is this a serious post? I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

Seriously? I could care less about their "mental and financial well being" they are shopping for million dollar homes as we speak. Their kids are probably legacies at whatever colleges their dads graduated from and will probably be able to go tuition free. There are tons of people I feel bad for but a bunch of NFL coaches I don't even know aren't very high on the list.
