Wow! That came totally out of left field. Never saw that coming.

What next? Lane Kiffin getting fired?!? I know that crazy since Al Davis looks at him like a son.

He is a good coordinator that was in over his head as a head coach in a relatively dysfunctional environment. Having the O line banged up as bad as theirs is doesn't help either.

When he left Miami for St. Louis Nick Saban was really surprised because he felt Linehan wasn't nearly ready to be a head coach.

A man's got to know his limitations.

How long before someone proposes signing him to the team as a QB?

Well-said; and even calling their FO relatively dysfunctional is an understatement. There are too many cooks in the kitchen, who want to receive the praise during the winning, but not accept the blame during the (consistent) losing.

That game should be easy pickings, but I thought the same way about the doofins game.

It's about time. It angers me when head coaches attempt to deflect blame from themselves by benching players, as if it falls to the players when the entire organization blows. Sorry Scott, it ain't Marc Bulger's fault that you're incompetent.

The Dolphins are a much better team at this point than the Rams are.
