After yet another defeat in court and with the millions of hard earned owners' dollars spent on this one I pose the question....
Will Roger Goodell be fired?
He basically needs to do the smart thing. Don't count on that.If he wants to save his job, he needs to make organizational changes.
-Get rid of the people who failed him (Wells, Pash, Vincent, etc).
-Extricate himself from all disciplinary activity.
-Work with the NFLPA collaboratively on a Personal Conduct Policy that is fair.
-Make more money for the owners.
He needs to be strategic and shrewd here.
Maybe only then can he can survive.
He simply miss manages crisis...does everything else awesome...he's terrible at managing crisis...he makes the NFL look bad time and again. This could have been a simple equipment violation and it turned into a nuclear winter apocalyptic circus.
As per league rules this could have been dealt with the week of the superbowl. Team gets monetary fine. Trainer suspended for a few games. case close, there is precedence for it...but no...miss management 101
That was only punching a woman unconscious; under-inflated footballs is really important.If he wasn't fired after Ray Rice, I doubt he would be now.

If he is fired, let's start thinking about some job qualifications for the new Commissioner:
Let's see, who satisfies those qualifications:
- Someone who has said their dream job is to be NFL Commissioner.
- Someone who is actually SMART, let's say someone that graduated with a B.S. degree Phi Betta Kappa at age 19, won several very prestigious teaching awards as a Professor at Stanford University, and became the youngest Provost at Stanford ever.
- Someone who is a concert level pianist, so that they can personally play the introduction to "Monday Night Football"
- Someone who has a just a little experience with handling crises, serving terms as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State.
- Someone who currently works smoothly with a bunch of old men on the College Football Playoff Committee

.....I know not everybody will agree with this, that is OK, bring on some other nominations!
I nominated her because us Birmingham Alabama based (where I live, where she was born) Professors have to stick together

Thus, while Goodell may have lost a solid ally in Kraft—although I am skeptical that he actually has lost his support—he has likely scored points with several owners in his strong stance against a perceived favorite. While there have been scattered reports about some owners being unhappy with the length of the investigation, we have not seen one owner publicly state anything other than full support of Goodell. While the public, fans and media have their fun mocking and excoriating Goodell, his bosses support him and compensate him handsomely.
