PFT: Plummer Weighs In On Shanahan Firing: “It Was Past Due”

[JimDandy]

I don't think Plummer was blaming Shanahan here. Jake's as happy as he's ever been playing squash with his brother, or whatever he's doing. He's just offering his opinion on Mike's coaching style.

It doesn't even seem like he's being particularly harsh. Shanahan had a lot of success, but he wouldn't have been let go if it weren't true that his style had worn thin and it was time for the organization to change. It also doesn't meant that Mike wouldn't be successful someplace else.

Agreed. Without Elway, Shanahan has not done much despite having loads of talent. Sure he had a few good years and even went to the playoffs, only to lose.

 

[Quarterback Coach]

This is pretty funny. Maybe if the 2-7 team was coached like the 7-2 team they wouldn't be 2-7 or vice versa. Plummer really isn't helping his case here.

wow...never thought a qb who got benched for a rookie would talk like this...

Dallas needs a coach that keeps the focus.

That is the #1 problem with this team. Their is so many distractions that players lose focus.

Like Dan Reeves says. The bottom line is winning and nothing else.

If Shanahan harps on his guys all season about getting better than that just makes me want to hire him even more.

If the players are weak cause they blame coaches, then why do coaches get fired?

Why couldn't he win without Elway? I'm pretty sure we don't have an Elway on this team.

He had some pretty good teams without Elway and did it with not a whole lot of talent.

You give that man the keys to this engine and I imagine we would soar.
