because the most important thing after a loss is that fans hear what they want to hear, after all. Those unstable, out of control coaches that get made fun of on late night sports clip shows don't last long with their jobs, but sure, if you want a Denny Green, Mike Ditka, or Jim Mora they're available.

When Fox starts losing more than he's winning, I'll tire if the clichés.

I don't see the reason to fire a coach just cause a small group of fans spoiled by immediate and full information at all times on the Internet and cable TV can't stand being shut out of the loop.

riiight. Who cares if we can't win big games or go one and done in playoff trips. as long as we're not 1-15 everything's just dandy.

I'd make a comment about the ignorance and stupidity of both this post and the idea that coaches have some sort of duty to provide color commentary to the fans, but naaaah.......you guys are what you are, and it is what it is.

And I can tell you I'm not a guy who bases his personal opinions of other people off their views of a head coach. I critique and argue with other posters, but I never call them stupid. Calling someone else stupid for their own opinion would make me a moron.

...but then again, I don't even know why I'm in this argument, all this was about was cliches, I don't know where Delhommey got the notion I suggested he should be fired. But then again, you BFJSs are quick to jump the gun and put on the red cape to protect your most precious head coach, in the face of any and all overt opinions.

Oh, Mr. Mcgee where would the huddle be with that most insightful display of basically telling me off. You've read this one with your eyes closed my friend.

Tom Coughlin was hated in his years of "futility" in Jax and NY then he was loved and revered after his team got hot at the right time. Steeler fans were tiring of Cowher then he entered the Pantheon of Pittsburgh legends by winning one ring.

All it would take is one right sequence of events and everyone over here save for the most fragile of egos will call for Fox to be in the Ring of Honor.

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
