    Forked Thread: Schonert Fired! - This has Ralph written all over it.

    Forked from: Schonert Fired!

    I just woke up and heard the news...first thing that came to my mind???

    This has Ralph's hands all over it! Why do I suspect RW made the call on this and DJ just made sure that he saved his job for the year?

    Thoughts.

    i'd buy it for no other reason that that is Ralph's MO. He loves meddling. But at least this time he's put together such a bad team that whether he insists someone plays a certain position or drafts a certain guy, it doesn't impact the bills that much. What's the difference of a 5-11 or a 3-13 team? It's a crappy ride regardless.

      I may have blinders on, but I totally think that this was Jauron's doing. I think he knows he is a few losses away from being canned, and is trying to do everything he can to save his job. He will get fired sometime this year, if not, right at the end of the season, but at least he is trying to shake things up to give the offense a kick in the ass.

        He may have been behind it. It was correcting a mistake so I don't care who is behind it.

          Something tells me that Ralph wanted him fired after the season, but Dick Jauron vouched for him. Now with how bad he's look, Ralph asked to fire him one more time and Dick Jauron gave in, to save his own ass!

            Jauron is saying it was all his decision...it'll be interesting to see what changes in a week and a half. AVP may lack experience, but I think he has football smarts. I'm interested in seeing what he has to offer...

              Jauron says he called Ralph to ask his permission to fire Turk.

                I don't care who or why, can it get worse? AVP is a very bright guy, I hope he kills it!

                  This sounds like the Wade Phillips situation...

                  But unlike Wade, Dick said good riddance to someone on his staff.

                    Ralph should have fired them all after last season...He will end up doing that anyway.

                      If you've seen/heard any of Schonert's comments I don't see how anybody can lead this back to Ralph.

                      According to Turk, he has been battling with Jauron the entire off-season over the offense and the two had serious philosophical differences. Jauron wants the offense simplified (I believe TS referred to his approach as 'Pop Warner') and thought Turk's offense was too extensive and complicated.

                      Heard it on the evening news, but I'm sure there's a link out there somewhere.

                        Anyone over 40 who has followed this team since childhood knows Ralph meddles bigtime.

                        Of course this was his call after blasting Jauron post game last night. Now Jauron is officially a dead man walking ( 2 years too late ) .

                              Jauron wants it simplified so this is all AVP needs to do:

                              Scenario 1:

                              Is TO double covered? Yes? ---> Throw to Evans

                              No? --> Throw to TO

                              Scenario 2:

                              Run every now and then w/Lynch or Jackson - one out of every 4 or so, throw to Lynch or Jackson.


                              That's it...Plain and simple.
