Jay Gruden fired

Plucked from an article on ESPN.con on Vontae Davis retiring in the middle of a game:


Meanwhile, 375 miles away in D.C., where his Redskins were playing the Colts, Vernon had just entered the locker room at halftime. He saw a missed call from his brother, which was odd -- they never called each other during games. So he called back and asked if everything was OK.

Are you kidding me? Gruden let players use cell phones at halftime? I thought it was bad when I read Tomsula gave players cell phone breaks in the middle of meetings when HC of the 49ers. Bad enough, but in the middle of a game?

Honestly in today's day and age most guys probably have phones in the locker rooms, it's just the nature of our lifestyle now.

To be honest, I think we are nitpicking on little things now. What if it was a family emergency? The article specifically pointed out the fact that the brothers never called each other during the games so naturally Vernon called back to see what's up.

What did people do in case of family emergencies at work before cell phones?
I am pretty sure there aren't any New England Patriots using cell phones at half time, maybe I am wrong.

Jay was due anyway, his overall record vs good teams is trash and we all know his primetime record... The guy just isn't a good HC, He can blame BA and DS all he wants but at the end of the day, he couldn't get the guys motivated and ready on a daily basis

Having a cell phone simply made it an easier resolution.

I just think Jay is/was too caught up in his slap dick passing game, his 3 by one formations and what not. Meanwhile Kyle's running the I formation that Gruden publicly crapped on and is running for 260 freakin yards, with a fullback.

I read where a lot of teams have guys leave their cell phones in the hall before they enter meeting rooms. What meeting is more important than half time in a locker room?

I realize I am old school, I played the game through college back in the day when screwing up got you running extra laps, wind sprints, yanked around by the face mask, hit in the helmet with clip boards, footballs thrown at you, etc,etc. When I was in High School the O-line coach was built like Arnold Swarzenegger, if you were caught not paying attention in practice he would pancake your ass and he was in shorts and a golf shirt. The logic there was you would get it a lot worse if you were on the field and had your head up your ass.
If caught not paying attention to a coach the consequences were not pretty.

My favorite guy to listen to on the radio is Doc Walker, he shares a lot of my views. I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact we are the same age,ha,ha. I just think things have gone too far the other way when it comes to discipline.
