Making Danny Boy look calm and measured...

i would. there's better though (jeff fisher, for one). marty was smart enough to insist on firing cerrato though, and that turned out to be a truly great idea.

I have a lot of respect for Marty. I still can't believe he went 8-8 in his first season and got fired, especially when you consider the talent he was working with.

I can't front.....I was all for hiring Spurrier at the time.

And I don't remember anyone back then saying, wait, God, how can we let Marty walk, he just went 8-8.

I actually was pissed that Marty was fired: (1) it's not like he took over some dynasty and ruined it; (2) it was also his first year as coach of the team; (3) the roster had just imploded and the only talent we had was VERY young and almost entirely on defense (Tony Banks was the QB and Rod Gardner was our #1 WR); (4) after starting the season poorly, he won 5 straight games (just like Joe Gibbs); and (5) Marty had an excellent track record that suggested that he deserved to stick around for more than one friggin season.

My bet is that Danny regrets that move as much as any other he's made since owning the team. Had Danny been around for Joe Gibbs' first tenure, Joe would've been fired just like Marty was.

The site came back strong in '04 after a brief hiatus (one week)

We actually started as a Yahoo! group 'lo those may years ago.

The year was 1999. Mambo #5 ruled the charts, America said farewell to Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt in Mad About You, and Paris Hilton was still a whore.
