They sent me an email." I can't fire myself, so you're the next in line. Best of luck with the chop house business."
Meyer: [dumbfounded stare that we see every Sunday]

Khan: well, it started with your complete and utter failure to evaluate the roster that you inherited properly.
Then, granted a partnership with Trent Baalke to control personnel decisions of the team, you failed to upgrade any position on the roster except kick returner and rotational DT. Other position groups regressed. Things really starting to get shaky when you didn’t understand that a rookie quarterback would benefit greatly from a run game - you know - with that 1000 yard rusher you had lingering on the bench for the first two weeks of the season. But instead, you asked a rookie quarterback to fling the ball all over the field with a wide array of low completion percentage passes and we’ve watched the kid struggle week after week while you have no answer to help him. You were given a very rare opportunity to Utilize an abundance of cap Space and a wealth of capital. In the modern era of NFL football, we have seen general managers & head coaches in similar situations reverse the course of a struggling franchise in a short period of time. Not only were you unable to do this, you seem to have made this roster less competitive while implementing offensive game plans week after week that have analysts all over the country shaking their heads in dismay. I’ve searched for a glimmer of hope in your body of work thus far that would make me consider retaining you and allowing you an opportunity to redeem yourself. I have found no such glimmer. You have until the end of the week to clear out your things. Please leave your entry credentials with the security desk on your way out. Good luck.
FTFY
Don't you dare make Khan look smart in this whole thing.
Probably more "We're getting raked through the coals in the media, and that's the opposite of why I brought you in. I get paid whether we win or lose, just don't make me look like a fool, was that too much to ask?"

This is a legit question. You REALLY feel its "a few people on a message board"? Do you honestly believe there are more people who want Meyer to stay than to leave?
....or that the only reason the owner would justifiably fire this dude is because a section of the fanbase complained?
