Firing Chan Gailey after 2 seasons was the right move

[RoadRunner]

Does anyone think Gailey would have done any better than the 5-11 that Campo put up the season after Gailey was fired? I don't. The team was old, tired, and gutted by free agency. There was nothing left.

Canning Chan Gailey was the right move. Jerry's mistake was not blowing it up completely in 2000. All coaches fired, dump as many contracts as possible, sweat off a bad cap year, and start rebuilding.

Jerry seems to have some sort of remorse for Gailey that he is using to justify not dumping this entire sorry coaching staff. Every single member of this coaching staff from Wade, to the coordinators, to the position coaches should all be looking for work as I type this.

What's more, is that the team does not need to be blown up. Get rid of certain head cases, cut some underachievers that won't hurt the cap. This team's fundamental problem is bad, leaderless coaching.

Yeah but Aikman was *****ing about Gailey and Jerry already put Aikman through the Switzer experiment. I think that played a large role in Gailey getting the hook after only two years.

Who cares?

Darren Woodson has some interesting comments about Chain Gailey being fired. He seemed to be against it, however Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin complained about his offense.

ThreeSportStar80, I would be interested to know when Woodson made the comments? Was it one of his regular spots with the Lunch Break on DC.com? If so, I was wondering if you remembered whether that was on today's show or recently, on the heels of the comment Jerry had made. I've always been interested in the circumstances surrounding Gailey's dismissal.

So Jerry did him an even bigger favor and stuck him with Campo. I guess that's what Aikman gets for wanting to win! Jerry's so swell!

Hell yes firing him was the right move. What has he done elsewhere? Yep.

Jerreh wants to hire his next Big Dumb Southern Drinkin' Buddy for head coach. He got lightning in a bottle with Jimmy, and is still running around with that same damn bottle trying to do it again to PROVE it was him - and not Jimmy. Someone needs to fill that bottle with chloroform and drag Jerreh's unconscious body to the river bank...

last shot at a superbowl... firing him was the right move to placate the triplets.

woody says coaches need to be the #1 voice but after 3 superbowls & letting jimmy walk... you gotta do what you gotta do.

ps - chan was terrible and over his head
