Nobody is immune to that kind of implosion and that long of a losing streak gets anyone fired. It might be easier to win that many games in a row than lose that many!
 
I want to add that I probably would have let him finish the season if he want edit o unless there were lingering health issues that would make that complicated.
 
Seems a bit harsh considering he's won two straight division titles and is coming off a 12-4 season and playoff win(with a backup QB).

Agreed. But it seems to be the nature of the biz, and it seems that most of the people at this level wear big-boy pants.

Besides, what was his annual salary? It's not like he's gong to miss a meal or anything. LOL
 
A page out of the John Shaw book on inspired human kindness.
OTOH ,if he'd QUIT would they have to pay him off?
 
Ok, big hypothetical here bu just wondering any ones thoughts on this:

If, and it is a big IF, Schotty leaves the team for a HC position(notice i didn't say if he is fired), how would you feel about bringing Kubiak in as OC. All hypothetical of course.

I'd rather they promote someone from within.
 
was thinking that... hypothetically of course... schotty sucks and probably wont be in consideration....
but if we do bring in someone... that'll be bradford's (lost count of number here) OC in the past who knows how long..
 
Nah Kubiak needs the time to heal ,I don't entirely discount this was a mercy killing
 
I may be in the minority but I don't think he should have been fired. This whole team has imploded but they are still a talented team. Coming off of two division titles and a playoff appearance last season. I don't think if they would have 11 straight losses if they kept Schaub in there. Sometimes qbs get into bad streaks. Most of their losses have been by seven points or less. I think yesterday they set a record for most losses like that in a season. Now they are going to have to get a new coach and possibly a new system to learn. They should have kept Kubiak and regrouped for next season. They still have a good defense. Draft a qb and let Schaub, Yates, Keenum and the rookie battle it out. Foster will be back from injury. Get a new kicker for sure. I just think they would be competitive faster if they kept the same system around rather than starting over. The Falcons are having a terrible season too compared to where they thought they'd be. I bet they don't fire their coach for one bad season.
 
I think after 11 years, they just figured it was time to move on and try something new. Benching Keenum twice and throwing Shaub in probably didn't help, as most fans wanted Keenum to finish the year out to what they had in him, and it seemed the owner felt that way as well.

I had exactly the same thought about the Falcons
 
Well, let's hope the interim coach takes them on a winning streak to bypass the Redskin's record. But as far as the firing goes, this is the "Not For Long" league when you are not winning. Don't think Fisher won't be on the hot seat next year if the Rams don't have a winning record. He'll be gone like yesterday.
 
He shouldn't have been fired in season. He's been their only HC. Lame on the Texans,

Same time: this is one hell of a regression season. He deserves to be fired at season end.

Dom Capers was their first HC. I think he lasted 3 years.
