[QUOTE="DallasEast, post: 9576868, member: 1630"]A mutually agreed upon parting between the two men is equivalent to a firing in my opinion. Johnson had a history of being a coaching nomad. He would have possibly left at some point of his own accord. However, it is also extremely likely Johnson would not have left the franchise for another few seasons IF Jones could have controlled his own narcissism and not force the non-issue.[/QUOTE]
Huh???? Im not even sure how to respond that in bold. And Jimmy has said he was leaving that year right before the draft. They just sped up the process by doing it a couple of weeks after the super bowl. Johnson has repeatedly said he has never coached anywhere for more than 5 years and that was going to be the case again
