At least the Jets put up a fight!
Not sure but I wouldn't want him fired. They were decimated by injuries this year as well. They lost pretty much their entire interior offensive line in the first week of the season and the rest were old. Del Rio is a pretty good coach and teaches smashmouth football which I like. He just can't seem to catch a QB/WR break.

And the Cows are also now down on their former heir apparent boy genius OC Jason Garrett.

If you crossed Mike Shanahan with Hannah Montana, would you get...

Shanahana Montana?



Anything to lighten the premature-postseason mood...

Davis hired him and then fired him after 1 season and brought in Art Shell.

NO. Al Davis already fired him (Shanny)! No way he goes back to them. He also got shafted with his money and had to fight Davis to get his contract honored when they let him go. He was making a joke out of it when the last Raiders Head-victim was fired (Lane Kiffen ?). Shanny was saying he had a better record, than Kiffen, but was fired sooner.

Just kidding.
If Belichick:

*Drafted an heir-apparent QB with the 11th pick after his starter (who had a 33-14 record at the time) just took his team to the AFC title game and to the playoffs 3 years running;
*Benched his starter in favor of the heir-apparent while his team was 7-4 and still in the playoff hunt;
*Missed the playoffs with the rook after going 2-3 after the switch;
*Traded the old starter and got virtually nothing in return due to his retirement
*Started 5-5, in the thick of the division hunt and went 2-4 down the stretch
*Started 3-0 with a blazing offense, had a 3-game lead at 8-5 w/ 3 to play and BLEW IT
*Missed the playoffs 3 years running while going 24-24

Yeah I'd say it would be time for him to go......

Why doesn't anyone ever mention the fact that the only reason Shanahan won two superbowls was because he cheated the salary cap?

I guarantee that every time our undefeated regular season is brought up, spygate will too!
