Quote:That's not a huge concern. Gus, if fired, will be paid this year and next whether or not he gets a job, and will probably be a hot DC prospect. All of the assistants would be kept this year if the head coach is fired between now and the end of the season, unless one was considered a negative influence on the team. Most if not all would find jobs elsewhere; those who can't shouldn't be coaching the Jags to begin with.


 

Unless you are arguing that a coach should never be fired, and teams must be perennially stuck with the Rich Kotites of the world?


 

So you are arguing that the Jets should have kept Rich Kotite until he died or retired?

Don't mix up my words.

 

When you don't do your job well enough you can get fired. I know this. That is life.

 

My gripe is us fans, third parties at best, WISH this kind of stuff on coaches and players all the time.

 

Would you like it if every time you screwed up (real or perceived) someone was calling for your job?

Sure... these guys get paid from contracts and such, but to act like firing someone doesn't shake up their lives is myopic vision.

 

I'm not arguing anyone should or shouldn't be fired etc. You can assume whatever you want about coaches and finding jobs elsewhere but it isn't really so easy to just say so and it be.

 

Otherwise, we'd be good already.
