Quote:No, I didn't hear it.  Based on what I've seen in this thread, Lageman was absolutely expressing an opinion, and what he was arguing with Dempsey about on the show today is no different than the discussion they've been having after every loss this year on any shows.  The fans call in demanding Gus be fired, and because they're the "paying customers" they somehow think their opinion should carry more validity than anyone else.  "Paying customers" shouldn't dictate what happens with the coaching situation here.  The only thing that matters is where the team is at when it's time for those in a position to do so make a decision.  The last time "paying customers" had any influence over franchise decisions, Weaver fired Tom Coughlin.  Ask him how much he regrets that decision today.  When he sold the team, he said it was the worst decision he ever made as an owner.  No, I'm not comparing Gus to Tom.  I'm simply saying that personnel decisions, whether on the field or with the staff, won't be dictated by fans complaining about it in the local media.  I'm fairly certain that was Jeff's point as well.
