Gettleman suggested Rivera fire Shula and Dorsey last year but wouldn't force him.

But turned around and stood by while he followed him? Bullshit

Eh, this fan base sometimes. Yeesh.

I think if there are any doubts that we're better off without Gettlement, this pretty much takes care of it.

[Waldo]

Lol for those poor saps

I thought the guy they wanted as OC was blocked by Minny. I guess they are going with a one year rental and will get a better coach next year.

I thought there was a report that Gettleman pressed Rivera to fire Shula? If that's true, then shurmur must have convinced him that he was just going to give Shula a coloring book to play with

Again, read the reports. It's all in this thread.

Only if you're not paying attention, or willfully ignoring what's written.

Not sure if there was ever a "report" but that was certainly the impression I got and I don't think I'm the only one who felt that way.

Voth confirmed it after Shula was fired.

Poor Eli.

I had to log in for a bit just for the laughs, and inevitable desperate attempts to put a positive spin on this.

Shula isn't calling plays, apparently. It sounds like he is there mostly for QB development for whatever rookie they bring in.

Next Gettleman move - sign Thomas Decoud to bolster giants secondary.

Which makes sense given that Shula's never been in a WCO.

They got blocked from hiring the guy they wanted from the Vikings and it sounds like they didn't want Bevell.

LMAO!!! Let the Gettleman Brigade try to defend this one. Oh man, this is too good. Thank goodness we threw him to the curb.
