There has been a lot of times I've given OBD credit for being professional only to get lambasted by the soap opera pro's. Well here's another one I don't have any sources for that I'm sure is absolutely correct. Everyone was fired today because that was the professional thing to do. They had all these people hanging by a thread waiting to see who the coach would be and what he would do. Now, they can look for work and find their way.

Re: Firing the Entire Staff Was an Honorable Thing To Do
Basically, they are still under contract, but have been given the freedom to get a job elsewhere, with no 'blocking'. I think they can also stay and try and see if the new HC actually wants them, but in the knowledge that they may well not be retained.Originally posted by Typ0
I do think that that is about as 'honourable' a way to go about things, as you can get tbh.
It's unfortunate, but there are a couple of guys I would definitely have liked to retain, in Bob Sanders (D-Line Coach), and George Catavalous (Secondary Coach), as I think both are very good assistants. Hopefully, any new HC coming in, might well see that they are worth retaining. -

OBD: "Perry we'd like to interview for the head coaching job"
Perry: "Excellent, let's start"
OBD: "First question, are you black?"
Perry: "Well of course I am."
OBD: "Excellent, we'll be in touch."
OBD: "By the way your fired."Comment

Sadly, I agree.Originally posted by BoyILuvLoznStupidly
I hold Modrak, Brandon and Guy 10X more responsible for what has happened here than Jauron or his staff.
Not that Dick is a genius but what chance did he really have when they dismantled the o-line and drafted Maybin for DE help. He should have quit but they gave him 9 million reasons to stay.Comment

Re: Firing the Entire Staff Was an Honorable Thing To Do
Aaron Maybin was definitely a Jauron pick. I'm sorry, but I don't see Nix making that kind of pick. Even Modrak. It was a type of player that Jauron likes. Small and fast!Originally posted by HHURRICANE

Re: Firing the Entire Staff Was an Honorable Thing To Do
That's ridiculous. The same crappy drafts when man boobs and burger boy were here.Originally posted by patmoran2006
Modrak is the common link and no one is going to tell me a "dead-man walking" coach like Jauron had final say in last year's draft. Give me a break.Comment

You really believe that Jauron had a say in last year's draft when he was pretty much on his way out?
You are telling me that a guy who was hanging on by a string was given total authority to draft the 11th pick? If that's the case than this team is really doomed.Comment

Since Levy left (and maybe even when he was here), Dick was the highest-ranking football mind in the organization.

Re: Firing the Entire Staff Was an Honorable Thing To Do
Some of the roster moves were very puzzling, questionable draft picks, the amout of guys on IR, the culture of losing...Everyone has to go. Front office people are equally responsible.Comment
