    They fired him at 10:21 Wednesday night. Unusual in the timing. 5 head coaches in 9 years. The Yucks are Cleveland of the south. In 2008 they fired Jon Gruden to hire an unproven hc. Apparently the Glazers have a lot in common with Les Miles as far as continuing to make the same mistakes and expecting different results.

    They may turn into a playoff team one day, but they won't win a championship with Winston, just like Carolina won't win one with Fruit Newton.

    Coaches are getting canned quicker these days. Timing and the time he was given was strange, but he hasn't been over .500 in his last 5 seasons. The Bucks organization is terrible, seems like there aren't many quality GMs these days.

    And Pagano gets an extension and a raise. I admire the Colts for that.

    say what. they didnt can him. hes pretty terrible. lovie smith had the bucs playing hard almost the entire year. winston is going to be really good i think. to say he wont win it all is not an assessment of him. i mean even marino didnt.

    Yep, its obvious the Bruce Arians was the talent on that staff. They haven't been the same since he left.
