What did the team lose by firing Del Rio and promoting Tucker to interim?  Anything?  I doubt very seriously that anyone regretted the decision.  Things weren't getting better.

 

I don't think firing a coach sends a message to the team other than that the owner/GM felt the coach was the impediment to the team succeeding.  Cutting players however can provide motivation.  We've seen that happen here.

Yeah, I don't know what the front office envisioned with Marrone, but my guess he was not to be anything but an O-line coach and can't imagine any contingency long term plans had his name attached based on his track record. Just speculation of course. I would believe this team wants to start fresh and nobody on this staff needs to come with 20 feet of the HC position.

 

Not that I put a lot of stock into the message board geniuses, but just reading through this board and you'd believe firing Del Rio was up there with the firing of Tom!

 

I think the firing/cutting of players is a different animal altogether.
