[QUOTE="Sangria Wine, post: 3123230, member: 227"] Well, let’s start by saying that 99% of coaches who are getting fired have a poor overall record and no history of winning at said program. They’ve usually been there a few years and not been able to win or show improvement. Then you have the 1% where a coach has a hall of fame level career history, is the face of the program, etc and the program hits a rocky streak for a few years. In the 99% situation you do what TCU did and shove the guy out and get started salvaging the program in advance of the signing period. In the 1% situation I personally would give the guy a chance to correct the course and get things rolling again until he had thrown his hands up. I don’t think a few off years means the guy has suddenly become a bad coach, crazy, out of touch, or any of the other descriptions posters on here have given about GP. I had no interest in going down this rabbit hole again, I was simply drawing a parallel you may not see, but that struck me having watched yet another great Cowboy roster get its ass kicked last week when it probably should have been at least in the NFC championship game. Posters on here so wrapped up in what GP chooses to do next and who think he owed it to them to not go to Texas show their own concern over his ability to do a great job and ultimately cause regret in booting him. You don’t feel that way about a [ Finebaum ]ty, washed up, crazy, has-been coach… [/QUOTE]
