He sucked from day one. Good riddance.

And finally, pleae no Josh McDaniels or other supposed hot shot from the Patriot’s coaching tree. Unless Pioli falls ass backward into another Tom Brady, he needs to get over the whole Patriot Way crap. Hasn’t really worked for anyone else from that extended staff.

I’m sure someone like Cowher is a pipe dream. I fully expect Pioli to hire someone who falls in line and does what he’s told without questioning the GM.

Also, the players never quit on Haley which is to his credit. They certainly had reason to, especially since Palko took over and started spraying the football everywhere. Guys like Bowe, Baldwin, Thomas Jones, etc. have kept quiet despite the fact that their talent was being wasted. There was no internal mutiny that I’m aware of.

Don’t have time to read all the comments. Not surprised by the move. I think he sealed his fate with the sideline tantrum yesterday. I actually think Haley might not be a bad head coach in the right situation (veteran team). He wasn’t the right guy to develop this team.

That being said, Pioli has not done him any favors. The starting QB (Cassell) has back up level talent and the backup QB (Palko) has 3rd string talent. Lots of key injuries and no depth in important places despite lots of cap money available. That’s on the GM. I hope Clark Hunt put Pioli on notice as well. This crapfest is just as much his doing as Haley’s.

They said that about Parcells too…

That’s before he used his influence to steal Bobby Petrino away from the Falcons.

I hypothesize that Nick Saban is the only person Jerry Jones would back off for.

Would any other GM whose team has won one football game in 15 years even sniff another job?

Carl Peterson almost landed in Miami after getting canned from the Chefs…and for all I know is some consultant down there even now. Other than that, though, I got nobody.

even a GM hired through nepotism would have been fired.

dude isn’t suited to own a team and win the way he is running it. good business man, but in sports the good business man defers to people who actually know more about football than they do.

Yeah well, he’s going to have to start changing a little bit, otherwise they’re going to keep spinning their wheels.

he will change when he dies. until then, he runs that team top to bottom.

I hypothesize that Nick Saban is the only person Jerry Jones would back off for. Because it gets him one of the best coaches in the business and it gets him out of the same division as Arkansas.

Didn’t TBL have a poll or do a write-up about which playoff teams from last year was gonna crap the bed this year and either not make the playoffs/finish last in the division?

someone got that link?

Crennel is the interim, makes sense. I bet he really fires ‘em up for a fine finish to the season.

I’d be happy to have Spagnuolo back in Philadelphia, running the defense.

Brian Dawkins ain’t walking through that door. Troy Vincent ain’t walking through that door. Jeremiah Trotter ain’t walking through that door…………..

Can’t believe that Josh McDaniels would be a favorite. I might have to root for someone else or at least go underground for a period of time.

The Falcons will take any and all bangwagon jumpers.
