Perhaps Firing Your Coordinator in the Preseason is a Bad Idea


This preseason there was an oddity, three NFL Offensive Coordinators were all dismissed. One would normally think that you would give a coach you hired at least a few games to prove whether or not they could be successful but nope three teams decided the preseason was enough to see that their offense wasn't growing. The Chiefs let go former Cowboys coach Chan Gailey. The Bucs fired Jeff Jagodzinski for his second firing in 2009. Finally the Bills fired their OC Turk Schonert. So five weeks into the season how have these teams performed?

Chiefs: 0-5, 30th Yards Per Game, 24th Points Per Game
Bucs: 0-5, 25th Yards Per Game, 29th Points Per Game
Bills: 1-4, 26th Yards Per Game, 26th Points Per Game

So either these offensive coordinators were so putrid that each team has yet to recover, or firing your offensive coordinator just days before the NFL season starts is a bad idea. I'm going to go with the latter.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
