We lost Tom Coughlin because a people thought we could do better.  Those people were wrong.

 

Del Rio after quickly turning the team around and getting us to the playoff became the next scapegoat.  It appears he is doing the same thing in Oakland.  Jack was not the problem.

 

Caldwell almost completely gutted the roster.  That first year people were calling us the worst team in the history of the NFL yet Gus inspired his players to over-achieve and we won 4 games.  That was all Gus.

 

If you were one of those calling for the Coughlin firing, the Del Rio firing and now the Gus firing than you are stupid.  That bears repeating: you are stupid...  Thankfully stupid people are not running the team.

 

Coughlin's mismanagement of the salary cap is what eventually doomed him.

 

Del Rio was a scapegoat for Gene.

 

Most GB apologists choose to ignore his W/L record in his first two seasons, so it's interesting that you give him all the credit for the 4 wins he managed to eek out.  How would you sum up his 3rd year then?  2 years of HC experience under his belt, a much more solid roster than his first year, a historically easy schedule...and he got only 5 wins?

 

Comparing Gus to either Tom or Jack is a disgrace to the latter two.

 

GB's first 3 years:  12W, 36L

TC's first 3 years:  26W, 26L (2 playoff wins, 2 playoff losses)

JDR's first 3 years:  26W, 23L (1 playoff loss)

 

Yep, they're all basically the same guy.

 

When Gus is fired sometime during the next season, you might be the one who is feeling pretty stupid.

 

Oh, and it's "then" not "than".
